about
I love working with amazing players. Brandon Graves is a great drummer living in Kansas. I saw his drumming in short video clips on Instagram and connected with him. I gave him some ideas to run with in creating some drum parts I could turn into loops for future songs. This was the first song completed. I played this rough bass line but knew someone who could play it much better. Justin Schneider came over and recorded my part, enhanced it a bit and made it much better! Finally, I asked Mitchell to play real funky guitar and he stepped up to the challenge... Three lyric rewrites later.... I give you a song about how we, as a society, hide our light and what makes us unique.
lyrics
V1
we're just passing through, baby me and you
turning back the clocks, put the light back into the box
dreaming at the speed of sound, i'm lost but i wanna get found
turning back the clocks, put the light back into the box
CH
Ive got a great future behind me
i've got a great future, annihilation by degree
V2
we're just holding on, here in Babylon
going through detox, put the light back into the box
everyone i pass by, looks like they've said goodbye
but they've just changed the locks, put the light back into the box
CH
Ive got a great future behind me
i've got a great future, annihilation by degree
Solo: Mitchell Connell guitar
CH
Ive got a great future behind me
i've got a great future, annihilation by degree
V3
This is just the beginning, the beginning of the end
Mock the paradox, don't put your light back into the box
CH
Ive got a great future behind me
i've got a great future, annihilation by degree
V4
everyone here is hammering rocks
everyone here is chasing the fox
we both know that you can't put the
light back into the box
we both know that you can't put the
light back into the box
we both know that you can't put the
light back into the box
