Took me by suprise a bit, too. But I really dig it. Just like Run Dry back then - gets better and better everytime you listen to it. They also made a song with Kyle Durfey (Pianos Become The Teeth ... Just in case ;)) for this album. Love Caspian, love Pianos ... Can't wait to hear that shit. Two more fuckin' weeks, man.
Every time I listen to this song I reimagine what it’s all about, so many different interpretations seem to fit - is it about someone having to give up on an artistic dream, or war and PTSD, or divorce, or terminal illness and passing away? Probably none of these. But every time I change my perspective on it, it’s like hearing it for the first time. That’s not even going into the actual music. Love it.
Phil, you killed this track. This album came at the time in my life when I needed it most. Lyrics from my favorite modern band who is predominately instrumental at its core. Then suddenly a message that it's okay to undergo arduous moments of hopelessness, depression and feeling uninspired day after day...being a painter it can be brutal as im sure any craft has those same emotions... and just continuing on anyways. What a beautiful perspective. Swirling circles of gray are what i've been consumed in for the past 3 years. It seems some circles are truly continuous and we're all on the merry go round together, to lift each other through art is how we connect at the deepest level, and yes the shadow will remain. But i will push through it. Thank you.
It's totally unnecessary to "undergo arduous moments of hopelessness, depression and feeling uninspired day after day" ... one day you'll wake up from the illusion....see its illusory nature, that nothing REAL comes in that flavor. Life is bliss. Good luck brother, I've been where you've been ; )
@@feliperuiz4975 no tengo ni idea la verdad, seria interesante la traducción. El tema es inmenso, he tenido la suerte de verlos en directo y son unos músicos.
@@alvarogarcia5270 Grácias de todas formas. El tema es maravilloso. Les he visto dos veces y ha sido brutal. Llevo escuchando rock toda la vida, desde lo mas suave a lo más ruidoso y nunca habia escuhado un grupo que con su música me emocionase tanto, los conocí con su disco Tertia hará unos 10 años y continuamente los he estado escuchando. Sigamos disfrutandolos. Un saludo.
Holy Smokes, after listening to this stuff and liking Caspian so much, I just wonder what if Caspian had lyrics from the beginning?!! Thanks for proving you are great both instrumental and lyrical, I love Post Rock but sometimes I just miss some peep there singing out, this music it's so human and without lyrics ohhhh there's something missing sometimes!
I covered it the other night. This isn't quite perfect but if you tune to Drop D and put a capo on 5 (giving you a fancy G chord) you'll at LEAST have the opening chord sounding pretty accurate and then you can noodle around to get some of those harmony notes. the whole verse is just a G chord with descending harmony notes which I pulled off by playing higher up on the A and D strings. The pre-chorus is an Em (could barre the 14th fret) a D (12 fret) and a C (10th Fret). Finally, the chorus is an A (barre the 7th fret), A#(8th fret) and then a C(barre the 10th fret). You can mess with fingerpicking and adding harmonic notes on the a and d string and I got close enough to this but I know there's no way that's quite how he plays it. Open to other ideas!
