Description
This song was initially posted by Alex Weiler (check out his page - his work is fantastic), who writes fantastically dark, powerful electronic music.
I was really hesitant about trying to put vocals to this, as the track worked so well without them. Eventually we worked on this, and got it into good shape... then I thought, as I always do these days "Hmmm, what would this be like if Philip (Racerat) put some guitar on this" (nudged along this train of thought by Mr. B. Dorsey, Florida).
Philip also mixed this, which frankly left both Alex and I slack jawed.
A great collab experience ... this sounds like the first track on an album to me, and I'd like to hear the rest of the album.
Lyrically, this was inspired by Alex's direction "Travelling without destination', and by David Cronenberg's movie 'Crash'.... oh, and a bit of TS Eliot.
This is a dark little journey... hope you enjoy the ride.

Lyrics
Converging
Buzing on the radio
We're always on the edge of something.
Take a ride where no cars go
Body humming like an engine.
And there will be no warning
We are children of the crash
We will come together
In the chrome and broken glass.
Then gone ...
Just a stone thrown at the world
You always hit the end of something.
Take a ride where no road goes;
A whole nation born in motion.
Autobahn of endless night,
Destiny on automatic
Fell the touch of cold airbag
Warm metal, sheen and static.
And there will be no warning
We are children of the crash
We will come together
In the chrome and broken glass.
Then gone ...
Converging, now.
Red light, green light!
Pushed and pulled in a crumpled suit
City lights that hypnotise
Take part in your ascension
Wearing holes in the fabric of design.
And everything will
Be well
Your revenge, in the end ,will
Be all well
Be all well
Be all well.
Buzing on the radio
We're always on the edge of something.
Take a ride where no cars go
Body humming like an engine.
And there will be no warning
We are children of the crash
We will come together
In the chrome and broken glass.
Then gone ...
Just a stone thrown at the world
You always hit the end of something.
Take a ride where no road goes;
A whole nation born in motion.
Autobahn of endless night,
Destiny on automatic
Fell the touch of cold airbag
Warm metal, sheen and static.
And there will be no warning
We are children of the crash
We will come together
In the chrome and broken glass.
Then gone ...
Converging, now.
Red light, green light!
Pushed and pulled in a crumpled suit
City lights that hypnotise
Take part in your ascension
Wearing holes in the fabric of design.
And everything will
Be well
Your revenge, in the end ,will
Be all well
Be all well
Be all well.
I think you caught the spirit of this piece in those lyrics Steve. Fab collab! Awesome sounds throughout!
Be well!
