Newest tune by The Bliss Machine

Now, here is a that came together in the most organic way of all of the songs. It is a very rhythm-forward tune that started with some interesting beat patterns and chord progressions devised by drummer Derrick. That led to a slinky rhythm guitar interpretation which had some fun with a vocoder effect on the lead guitar cut-ins. Next we have one funky AF bass line by Eric that really propels the song. During the chorus it gets mellow, almost psychedelic together with the rapid wah guitar during the chorus. The vocals goes beyond the spoken word breaks in other tunes (Kuwait and Numerica) veering into full on rap-style vocal delivery.

The song is about the sinister and dark side of and what goes on with shadows of today.
