“You didn’t really notice as the flurries turned to whiteout, suddenly you’re snowbound.” You feel as though you’re there, shivering with Steve, as his imposing voice captivates your imagination. “And the cold that seeps into your bones, slowly turns the marrow into stone,” gives me a resonating shudder every time I hear that line.  Metaphorical or not, I think many of us are waiting longingly for a big thaw. Like Steve, we’re hoping that the big thaw is gonna get here soon.

The song is in two parts. Part I is a full-up progressive folk rock endeavor with Steve Mackereth on voice, guitar and haunting mandola, and Alex Smith on methodical piano and exuberant bass. Percussion and production is by the ever-creative Dragan Stojkovski. 

For Part II, Alex hits a few melodic notes here and there on a small nylon-strung guitar, accompanied by a minimal string arrangement, all tightly coordinated and produced by Enter the Dragan.

Big Thaw Part I

Love music. Love making music. Love making pictures to music.

Two Worlds Apart is more of a journey than a destination.  We have completed five major projects in the last five years ranging from rock to club/house to verging on classical.  We enjoy pushing boundaries and pushing ourselves but most of all we love to play and we hope you enjoy.  We change some of the members from time to time depending on the requirements of the project - but all are part of the Two Worlds Apart experience.
