What do you get when you mix Mutant DIY Homo Pop with Indie Folk rock? You get Devours' remix of 'The Great Acceleration', that's what you get!

This is a love song for end days. Love feels big and important and worth fighting for in this song. The tempo quickens like a heartbeat accelerating. The intensity of the music heats up like an irresistible attraction. The vocal lines intertwine, finally, like lovers. 
This song is one of my personal favourites on the album. I loved recording the vocal lines in this song, and especially enjoyed singing with the strummed bass at the beginning of the original recording of the song.

In 2019, I was hearing so much about the fires raging around the globe. I was reading and researching about climate science and the anthropocene (the most recent period in Earth's history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet's climate and ecosystems). I stumbled upon an intriguing concept, the great acceleration. It’s the period, since 1950, of the rapid rate of increase in human activity and technological advancement and it’s impact on the Earth. As progress accelerates, so too does our impact on the Earth’s geology and ecosystems. To me, it’s a metaphor for...  more
lyrics
If these are end days
I want to stay and watch the world decay
I can’t do it alone
I want you in my arms
As I get carried away
I’m gonna have my say
It’s a quickening (love is our best plan)
A heartbeat (elevated)
A heat rising

The great acceleration
The great acceleration
The great acceleration

I want this to be a love story
It might be our final embrace
If Love is extinction
We may be the last of our kind
As I get carried away
I’m gonna live for today 
It’s a quickening (love is our best plan)
A heartbeat (elevated)
A heat rising

The great acceleration
The great acceleration
The great acceleration

Lyrics
The sea in me
Is the very same sea in you
Let your love go shining
A map of what you’ve been through

Deep ‘neath the waves
Pulled in to inky black
In your arms
Distance disappears

The hands I see
Are the 8 hands of you
Pulling together land and sea
To create a new mythology

Free beneath the waves
Pulled in to inky black
In your arms
Difference melts away

Swim the inky black
Till I find my way back
Across the branches and the lines
This love a lure for the times

Come beneath the waves
Pulled in to inky black
In your arms
Difference melts away
Difference melts away
Difference melts away...

Walking home alone
Drunk and counting stars
The wind it chills my bones
But the whiskey warms my heart
My friends tell me I'm prone
To cherishing my scars
And though I quite like being alone
That will only get me so far
And I know that I've come so far

Into the unknown
Just me against the dark
Got these two hands and these bones
Got the blood inside my heart
Into the unknown
Just me against the dark
Soon I will be home
But my keys are in the bar
Oh no!

Me Against The Dark

The Last Apple (Live)

A song about taking pictures

----------

Though my shoes are worn
Down these streets I go
Catching glimpses of
Shuttered conversations

Quality of light
Through these people I flow
We’re all the sum of
Our misplaced devotions

I remember when 
These pictures meant something
Forgotten scenes but not by me
Or the quality of light
Is it too late yet?

Though my shirt is torn
Down these streets I go
Hearing whispers of
The exposed foundations

Quality of light
Through these people I flow
We’re all the product of
Emotional projections

I remember when 
These pictures meant something
Forgotten scenes but not by me
Or the quality of light
Is it too late yet?

The Photographer

Karen decided to leave in the spring, said she no longer believed anything
That I told her, or promised, or even most of what she saw.
Maybe it should, but I have to admit, 
Her leaving did not surprise me a bit.
I’m just surprised that she managed to say goodbye at all.

The fault was all mine, this much I do know. That much is clear, I must confess.
I never wanted love more than then. I never tried any less.

I can see now it was destined to fail. She was the wind and I was the sail.
And the wind was so much that I couldn’t keep up …
When the wind blows, if you’re ready, that’s great. 
But if you’re not you get left at the gate.
Often the lessons you learn are too late

The fault was all mine, this much I do know. That much is clear, I must confess.
I never wanted love more than then. I never tried any less.

Karen was gone, so too was the wind. Left to imagine just what might have been.
And my imagination wasn’t up to the task.
When the wind blows, if you’re ready, that’s great.
But if you’re not you get left at the gate.
Often the lessons you learn are too late

She Was The Wind
