I'm a bit confused on the form, the intro sections are very clear, but at this point I'm really not sure where I am. Which might be totally cool if I'm watching a rock musical where there's a visual story being told at the same time, but as a stand alone song it's not clear

The pushing and pulling of time here is a bit much. If it's consistent it can create a nice tension but here's it's to the point of being uncomfortable

So cool and menacing! Good stuff for sure!

Song is great, I think the vocals could be mixed better, but it;s a great song!

Great vocals and performance. Catchy deep rock vibes.

From 8000 Miles’ 2nd album Crystal Confetti comes another tune that gets a bit philosophical. How often does your first response to a situation cause you to feel that your opinion is being challenged? Yeah, it can be often. Everyone has their own take on things and that can cause uncomfortable feelings between people. So, consider in those times, when it might be appropriate to not claim that you are “right”. Let it go. Compromise. Choose peace. After all, being right is usually just an opinion. Yes? Think: I don’t have to be right.

As you may notice, the cover art harkens back to a familiar cover from 1973 and that is intentional, because Andrea and Rebecca are strongly influenced by music from that time period. Many fans of 8000 Miles’ first album, Aggregate, have remarked on that influence. The title Crystal Confetti represents the clarity 8000 Miles is honing in their duo’s style and the contrast of weighted moods and flying inspirations.

The entire album, Crystal Confetti, has been released on Bandcamp. Go to https://8000miles.bandcamp.com to check it out and follow 8000 Miles on Bandcamp to get first notices of new releases.

Went away for a few days and stayed at a house in middle of nowhere, there was nothing around but cows, on the side in the house was a little information sheet about the place, the lyrics are loosely based on that.

LYRICS

John Wild was staring at his pile of stones. He piled them together till he had a home.
In the fields full of gagel, where bog myrtle grows.
He'd raise up a family where no one could know. 

And, the cows do not care how you feel.
The cows stand and stare in the fields.
Oooooooo. 

There are herbs on the hillside and fish in the stream, 
There's game to be poaching to make good the lean. 
All the animals crowd as the north-easter blows.
The short days of winter approach from below. 

And the cows stand and stare through your face. 
The cows that belong to this place.
The cows do not care how you feel.
The cows will not move from these fields.
Ooooooo-ah. 

And the hills do not know,
of the valley(s) below. (x2) 

ahhhhhh (x4) 

The cows do not give much away.
The cows in the wind do not sway.
The cows are not ever forlorn.
The cows stay right where they are born.
Oooooooo. 

Oh, to be free,
in the wild valley.
Now, look at me.
With my land, far from sea. 

Oh, look at me.
No stopping me now.
Oh, look at me.
With my field; full of cows. 

And, the hills do not know,
of the valley below. 

John Wild was staring at his pile of stones. He piled them together till he had a home.
In the fields full of gagel, where bog myrtle grows.
He'd raise up his family where no one could know. 

And the cows do not care how you feel.
The cows stand and stare in the fields.
The cows do not show on their face.
What they think of this place.
Ooooooooo.

Cows (Wild Ones)

Another masterpiece by the world's most unknown band ...

Lonely Boy (The Black Keys Cover)

Verse 1
Caught in the storm, with nowhere to hide,
Echoes of doubt, tearing me up inside,
Every breath I take feels like a mistake,
Lost in the noise, every move I make.

Pre-Chorus
In the shadows, searching for a way,
A glimmer of hope to light my way,

Chorus
Can you hear me now, screaming in the dark?
Reaching out for help, trying to find a spark,
Trapped in this void, fighting through the pain,
Looking for the light, trying to break these chains.

Verse 2
Faces blur, in the chaos of the night,
Memories fade, as I struggle to fight,
Every step I take, feels like a misstep,
Trying to escape, from this endless debt.

Pre-Chorus
In the shadows, searching for a way,
A glimmer of hope to light my way,

Chorus
Can you hear me now, screaming in the dark?
Reaching out for help, trying to find a spark,
Trapped in this void, fighting through the pain,
Looking for the light, trying to break these chains.

Bridge
I won’t be defined by the scars I bear,
I’ll rise from the ashes, face my despair,
Every tear I’ve shed, every battle won,
A testament to the strength I've become.

Chorus
Can you hear me now, screaming in the dark?
Reaching out for help, trying to find a spark,
Trapped in this void, fighting through the pain,
Looking for the light, trying to break these chains.

Outro
In the end, I’ll find my way,
Through the darkest nights into the day,
Stronger than I’ve ever been,
This is where my new life begins.
