PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE LIKE THEM 

People Like People Like Them is the first single to be released by Halifax-based Post-Rock standout, Last Of Eden.

The track aims to capture the desperation, futility and shift in hope and power felt by anyone driven to despair at the state of the world. It aims to provide a reminder that by standing together we can overcome. We don’t have to take this anymore.

The words that resonate over the music are still as pertinent and relevant today as they ever were. They shine a light on how society exploits disaster, pain and conflict to turn a profit. It shows how far we still have to come as a society and how unjust the world still is.

The world is a scary place but we have a voice - we can stand up and we can be heard. No longer do we have to settle for the mundane. We shall not be overlooked and we will fight for our voices to be heard. 
The song title is inspired by a belief that we are unified and connected by shared greatness and that together we are strong.

“I’M AS MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE”

If They Only Knew

If They Only Knew is a monologue about the battles we face within ourselves. The song aims to remind us that on the surface we show an image of ourselves to the world that does not reflect our true feelings and our purpose. 

Looking in the mirror, we see only a fraction of who we are but if we were able to see beyond the exterior, we find the beauty of our spirit. We are each made of hope and in when facing struggles we often lose sight of who we are. Lost in pain, grief and suffering but what we choose to project outwards towards the world is only skin deep and beneath it lies power, courage and determination. 

  If They Only Knew marries poignantly with our own shared experiences as a band. We face our own struggles with health and It became abundantly clear that we could only see a fraction of the turmoil, a snapshot of the real struggles beyond the cracked exterior.

All That Glitters Is Not Gold

All That Glitters Is Not Gold is a song that tries to speak of the wonders and horrors that take place upon our planet. The song was intended as a reminder that if you scratch the surface, everything is not always as it seems. Pull back the veil and peer behind the curtain and you will find the true beauty of humanity. The kindness of human connection, the power of love and the joy of shared experiences.

Living in a world where we face the painful juxtaposition of wealth and poverty in every walk of life, it reminds us - All that we touch does not bring hope, all that we speak does not bring wisdom and All That Glitters Is Not Gold.

This song illuminates the obvious narrative of disparity between us but it invites you to look deeper for the greatness in human kind.

If These Trees Could Talk | Red Forest

We have all stood at the edge of a cliff and been struck by the urge to take another step, or sat in a moving car and had the fleeting thought to open the door. We have all had that feeling.
