A force that you cannot see
Someone to look after me
A fake in a faker's world
A line that's just so absurd

A space for some more to come
A click and a thudding hum
A fake in a faker's world
A bridge that won't run across

Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come

For the sake of a better world
The tension and overload
Some words I don't get at all
A fake in a faker's world

A line that's just so absurd
A fake in a faker's world
I have all my numbers now
A ship coming out the snow

Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come
Our day will come

A little too much bleep-blorp for my taste.

This is the sort of music that anyone with half an ear and a lot of time can easily knock up on Garageband or Logic.  There's no melodic or harmonic movement - just play a chord, set up some delay and arpeggiating and off you go.  Of course, it helps if you have one of the most famous vocalists in the world to work with, but the underlying track is massively meh.  Well, that's what I think, anyway.


Nah - this feels straight outta Joy Division's library of work - this is not something "knocked out" easily - and anyone that uses an oversimplified way of describing the making of art can just keep skipping on by. Thank RP for adding!

Agreed.  My office insists that I skip it.
