Swift Devices
This song came about a couple years ago as an acoustic piece, recorded without being fully written. It went untouched and almost forgotten until we started piecing the album together and were looking for a good driving tune. I think we greatly improved on its modest structure and gave it a bit more depth.
Subject matter is quite literal in its lyrical content.
Peace and pleasant travels,
Rain.
Swift Devices
Leave me in silence.
My own swift devices come crashing down.
I’ve been around enough to know, my heart’s not welcome anymore.
and I believed the show; that all around here is god.
I’ve found that we got away with it this far.
We had love to give.
The perfect change of gears in followup to the two opening tracks. Wonderfully solemn with enough left turns to keep the listener guessingly engaged. The 3 1/2 minute mark is a spectacular reminder to us not to get too comfortable because shit is about to get real.
Another astonishing vocal. These are great songs - moody rock, fantastic.
RF, great dark chasm you open up here and pour molten guitar and singing into. I can feel the ache. ttfn, Drakonis
