some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
Think back to when Bon Scott played his last gig with AC/DC (it’s actually this day 27.01) back in 1980 before he would succumb to an untimely death due to misadventure and remember how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools. Michael Keaton in a scene from 'Birdman' is here due to his brilliant acting abilities as well - his brilliant turn in Ron Howard's 'Night Shift' showed the world what they could expect from this gifted actor...we're all getting older with every day...we got memories but they fade just like pictures in an album so live for today and make that count as it's really the only thing anyone has...Coldplay is on in the background on our smart TV sound bar...when did the stereo disappear...it's 'the scientist' and man, that's a sad song...lol! ...both of me, one when the twin towers were still standing, NYC harbour and all of us doing the Beatles thang at THE abbey road in St John's Wood, London (I had to get a photo of me taken by my son crossing a la John Lennon style and then insert that into the photo I took of rest of fam as a: they didn't know how to make it look, lol and b: didn't have time to get a stranger to do it and line it up as I have done, lol! you've got to love the Beatles to make it look like the Beatles...a lot of folk just going thru the motions of 'being there' for no real actual reason...ha! how presumptive of me...but true...;) can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll...

Story behind the song
meant to make a 'mega synth-pop' ep late last year but shelved that and then the spy theme stood out to me whereby I thought, well we've got enough for an ep based on that, lol!
Lyrics
When the bullet rips through Well do you ever stop to think that could be you? [...what the hell] And when the bomb goes off inside Do you ever think it’s time to run and hide? I couldn’t see the wood, the trees were in my way I couldn’t see the wood, the trees were in my way When the force is out for you Well don’t you think maybe they’re after me too? [I’m sorry] When your phone goes off again Well maybe it’s time to think it’s now, not when I couldn’t see the wood, the trees were in my way I couldn’t catch a break, the day just didn’t go my way I couldn’t see the wood, the trees were in my way When your phone goes off again When your phone goes off again Do you ever think it’s time to run and hide? I couldn’t catch a break, the day didn’t go my way [I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry] I couldn’t see the wood, the trees were in my way I couldn’t see the wood, the trees were in my way

Very creative theme. All from watching the tv show ? This definitely hits the spot for spy type thriller. And the synths drive it. Good work.

Love the dark vibes & underlying tension! This song has a definite cinematic feel to it and would make a great movie soundtrack.

The intro got me hooked immediately. Great driving bass synth riff. Love all the effects going on and your vocals are perfect for the backdrop. Love the subject matter of this song. So cool and mysterious. Excellent

Love that synth riff that dominates the track . The synths sound absolutely amazing!Again given the subject matter the vibe is dark and dangerous and absolutely perfect for a sound track in this genre . Vocals are also dark and dangerous! Love that take on the cliche “ can’t see the wood for the trees “ you’ve switched it to get more of an effect ! Brilliant! You excel at this ! I couldn’t produce tracks like this !
