People Have The Power

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.

Lament

"Need Your Help" is one of the most personal and vulnerable songs we’ve ever created. At its heart, the track is about the universal experience of struggle—the moments when life feels overwhelming, and we’re forced to confront our inner demons. But more importantly, it’s about the realisation that, in those moments, we can’t do it alone. We all need help. Whether it’s from the people we love, the friends who stand by us, or simply those who offer us a hand when we’ve lost our way, this song is a celebration of connection and the strength that comes from accepting support.

For the first time, this song features the band’s members—Josh, Ben W, Dom, and Ben H—singing together. We’ve always been a band that leans heavily on the power of music to express emotion, but *"Need Your Help"* marks a significant moment where we all step up vocally. Each of us, in our own way, shares a piece of our vulnerability. The act of singing these words together represents our collective admission: that there are times when we need to lean on others. It’s a rare and raw moment in our music—one that feels like the most honest and human expression we’ve shared as a band.

The song itself is driven by the theme of reaching out and acknowledging our limitations. It speaks to those times when we feel isolated by our struggles, when we feel like we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. It’s a powerful reminder that the hardest thing can be admitting we need help, but once we do, we find strength in the people around us. In order to overcome the darkness, to beat our inner demons, we need to allow others into our lives and share the load. The chorus, where all four of us sing together, carries the heart of that message: *“I need your help with this”—a plea for connection, understanding, and the courage to ask for support.

Musically, "Need Your Help" blends vulnerability with hope. The track starts quietly, with a sense of introspection, but gradually builds into something larger and more dynamic. It reflects the journey of coming to terms with the fact that we are not invincible, that we cannot face our struggles alone. The music swells as we come together, both musically and emotionally, creating a sense of unity and strength that mirrors the song's message of accepting help and finding connection in the darkest times.

This song also marks a shift in our sound. While we’ve always embraced emotional intensity and complexity, "Need Your Help” introduces a new dimension of openness. The vocals are a bold choice for us, and their raw honesty adds a new layer to the music, something we haven’t explored before. It’s a moment of vulnerability, not just in the lyrics but in the act of singing together. It’s about acknowledging that we don’t have all the answers and, sometimes, that’s okay. In fact, it’s more than okay—it’s human.

"Need Your Help" is a song for anyone who’s ever felt like they were fighting a battle alone. It’s a reminder that no matter how strong we are, we are never meant to go through life in isolation. The people around us—our friends, our family, even strangers—can help us heal and grow. The track is about celebrating those who support us, who bring us back from the edge, and who remind us that we don’t have to carry the weight alone.

"After All Is Said & Done” is a track that captures the essence of resilience and the relentless pursuit of hope, even when life feels like it’s working against us. It's about finding the strength to keep moving forward, chasing dreams, and discovering a sense of purpose—no matter how many obstacles we face or how daunting the journey might seem.

The song features spoken words by the legendary philosopher Alan Watts, whose teachings about the nature of life, happiness, and the pursuit of meaning have always resonated with us. His voice serves as a guide through the song, providing a sense of clarity and grounding, while also challenging us to reflect on the deeper truths of existence. The words Watts speaks in this track are a call to action—a reminder that no matter the difficulties we face, we still have the power to shape our future.

At its core, "After All Is Said & Done" is about rediscovering our ability to dream. Life often throws curveballs—illness, loss, setbacks—and it’s easy to lose sight of the things we once thought were possible. But the song reminds us that we don’t need to be perfect, and we don’t need to have everything figured out. The pursuit of our dreams is not about the end goal; it’s about the journey itself, the growth that happens along the way, and the courage to keep pushing forward despite the uncertainty.

The inclusion of Alan Watts' words in the song is a perfect complement to this theme. Watts often spoke about the importance of embracing the unknown, of letting go of the need for control, and of trusting in the flow of life. His voice in this track encourages us to stop overthinking, to stop worrying about what we haven’t done yet, and to focus on the present moment—the only one we truly have. It's a message that aligns perfectly with the idea that after everything is said and done, we still have the ability to find our way and pursue what we were meant to do.


Musically, "After All Is Said & Done" moves between quieter, introspective sections and more expansive, uplifting moments. It starts with a sense of uncertainty—reflecting the moments when we feel lost or unsure—but builds into something brighter and more hopeful. The ebb and flow of the song mirrors the process of rediscovering hope, as it gradually grows from a place of contemplation to a space of inspiration.

Ultimately, this track is about resilience in the face of adversity. It’s about learning to let go of past doubts, accepting life’s uncertainties, and finding the courage to pursue the future you want. The song reminds us that it’s never too late to start again, to dream again, and to move toward the unknown with trust and open arms.

"After All Is Said & Done” is a testament to the enduring power of hope, the courage to follow our hearts, and the belief that no matter where we are in life, we can always choose to build the future we want.

“I Was Not Magnificent" is a song that was born from one of the most challenging and intimate moments in our journey as a band, and it carries with it a deep, personal resonance for all of us. It’s a track that speaks directly to the healing power of music, especially when facing life's most difficult battles. At its heart, the song is about the realisation that music holds a strength far beyond our own—it can heal, uplift, and provide a sense of purpose when everything else feels uncertain.

The song features words spoken by our bass player, Ben Walsh, whose experience with Chronic Kidney Disease has been a defining part of both his life and this album. Diagnosed in 2021, Ben began undergoing dialysis three times a week to keep his body functioning. It’s a gruelling and often exhausting process—physically, emotionally, and mentally. There have been countless moments when Ben, in the midst of his treatments, has turned to music for solace and strength. Music became a lifeline during those times when it felt like his body was betraying him. 

In "I Was Not Magnificent,” we reflect on how music was something larger than ourselves—a force that could provide healing when everything else seemed beyond control. We speak of the moments when music offered us a kind of strength we couldn’t find within ourselves, when it reminded us that there was something bigger than our own pain. The words in the track are raw and reflective, a quiet acknowledgment of how, in the face of illness or struggle, music has a power that transcends the physical. It’s a reminder that, even in our darkest hours, we are connected to something much greater than our individual struggles.

The title, "I Was Not Magnificent," speaks to the vulnerability and humility that come with illness and struggle. Through music, we found a sense of peace, a sense of something beautiful and healing that helped us navigate the hardest moments. The song is not just about music’s power, but about the realisation that sometimes, when we feel the weakest, we can find the most strength through the things that move us.

"I Was Not Magnificent” is a tribute to the power of music to heal, to bring clarity in times of confusion, and to remind us of our own strength when we need it most. It’s a song about vulnerability and strength, about learning to let go of our own limitations and trusting in something bigger to carry us through.

"A New Consciousness" is a song about the transformative power of shifting our perspective. It’s about realising that the way we view the world—and ourselves—has the ability to shape our experiences and the direction of our lives. This track is a journey into understanding that true change begins with a shift in mindset, and that by embracing a new way of thinking, we can unlock a deeper connection to the world around us and our own potential.

The song features spoken words from the legendary Carl Sagan, whose teachings about the "cosmic perspective" encourage us to look beyond the limitations of our everyday thoughts and see ourselves as part of something much greater. His words remind us that when we step back and broaden our view, we can see the interconnectedness of all things, and with that awareness comes the possibility for profound personal transformation. Sagan’s message is clear: a shift in consciousness is the key to unlocking a greater sense of purpose, understanding, and connection.

Musically, "A New Consciousness" reflects this internal shift. It starts with a sense of tension and dissonance, mirroring the struggle that often comes with personal growth and change. But as the song progresses, the music becomes more expansive, more uplifting, symbolising the release of old patterns and the opening up of new possibilities. This shift mirrors the process of overcoming adversity, such as illness, and coming out the other side with a renewed sense of clarity and strength.

For those facing physical or emotional struggles, such as illness, the song serves as a reminder that while the challenges may be real and the journey difficult, there is always room for transformation. By changing our perspective, we can find the strength to overcome, to heal, and to move forward. The "new consciousness" we embrace is not just about seeing the world differently—it’s about seeing ourselves differently, as capable of more than we thought possible. 

"A New Consciousness" is about the power of that realisation. It’s a reminder that we are not just victims of circumstance, but active participants in shaping our own reality. By embracing a broader perspective, we can begin to transform even the most difficult experiences—whether it's illness, loss, or personal doubt—into a source of strength and growth. The song encourages us to see the potential for change, not just in the world, but within ourselves.

We Fall

Lyrics:

It feels like it
Should be over
If over is the end
Mistakingly 
A thought was mine
Hold it like a dress

I've come arrived
And i'll be leaving soon
Soon
I've come arrived
And i'll be leaving soon
Soon
Soon
Soon
Soon

I know
Nothing is free
I'll do it on my own
I know
What needs to be
A place to call my own
Cause

I've come arrived
And i'll be leaving soon
Soon
Soon
Soon
