Forget about how awesome this track is, forget how awesome it sounds live, and the recording equipment mentioned above....... There is something very cool about the commentary in the beginning from some guy in the crowd......this track is mesmerizing in the beginning, but when the guy in the crowd is talking about "we're good now, stop with the bad days - have good days. If your health is good, you're good". Exceptional message during a great beginning of the song. Thanks to whoever you are.
This video is the reason why I got tickets to see Yob live in February. I already enjoyed the band, but some artists just don't sound good live. This recording is better than the album version to me, I adore it. I knew there was no question that they sound amazing live. Thanks for the recording, man.
Lyrics, if anyone was wondering: Siren's call From the sea Raging current Pulls us under Fighting for air Scream for release As colors dance and weave To the universe we send A reflection Adrift in the ocean Colors take hold Shadows take shape Shimmering Neutral substratum Vast without end Our heart's evolution Dreams of gods Of us Of the fall Dreams of mountains We feel To the marrow To commune With what we lost It won't be long
Same, this has to be my favorite Yob song and one of my favorite songs generally. This live version is better than the album version IMO, I love the deeper vocals. Especially the way he sang "Shimmering" in this; it's just one word, but it sticks out. Gorgeous song, I wish I had been there live to hear this rendition.
Saw them in 2011 laying the AJZ in Bielefeld/Germany to waste and ruins. Absolutely jawdropping liveband. Never missed a record out eversince, these guys kick it for me all the time masterfully.
