Story behind the song
An anthem. The ultimate tribute to 70´s prog rock.
Lyrics
Birth of a Biggie (Sylvan) It´s out on the scene You got to hear it Now the breaking news is spread That an egg´s been hatched by a dinosaur And that it cracked in someones head Anyone could tell a different story But where the truth lies is the glory And I heard it was coming to find me here Oh I heard it was coming from everywhere.. I hold my breath for the one Who dazzled in my ears then I would have liked to go To where eternity rise To further sounds you make To greet me everyday Didn´t know where I was ´til it found me here Didn´t know I was living here, I swear! I turn on the light, the shadow fools me As the walls are closing in Am I all detached from my pretty self? Now here I´m sloughing off my skin And I turn inside my head in wonder Notes of beauty turn to thunder.. In a body that changes before my eyes I embody who´s watching you from the skies I hold my breath for the one Who dazzled in my ears then I would have liked to go To where eternity rise To further sounds you make To greet me everyday If every walk of life remains through time And every walk of life stays in its prime Then you know When the turtle saves its resident (we´re saving our residents) We´ve all become innocent... Hey it´s out on the scene You gotta hear it Now the breaking news is spread That this titans birth was so mellisonant It turned the muzak into shreads! And you wonder why the critics wonder why it´s alright And I heard it was coming to find us here And I heard it was coming from everywhere To where eternity rise To further sounds you make To greet me everyday

How I wish that I'd heard this sooner ! This is just what I like. Pure Prog brilliance. Nice that this is a FREE download too. I'll be playing it along with The Flower kings on my I-Pod. :)

Haven't heard better since the early Genesis, top dollar music. Take care

A huge tune! You guys are getting better and better ... if you keep like this, you can rival with the Genesis guys themselves... Best wishes Paul

Brilliant. Pure brilliance. That might be a strange comment to recieve from a black metal musician, but it's honest. The comparison to Genesis is an accurate one. In a time devoid of true progressive rock'n roll, you guys come through. Your vocals really do sound like Phil Collin's brother or something too, it's uncanny. You guys are great... almost as good as Gordion Knot. Almost.

Really liked it as usual, The only thing that thought was a draw back was the drum track, it sounded a bit forced at times, other than that, great song! Well done. Jack
