We started this track by roaming Barrio Viejo & the Presidio in Tucson, AZ, and recording and looping the sounds we found with an iPhone. Those percussive parts are the foundation the song. We then transferred those sounds to the studio and wrote and produced the rest of the song, adding guitars, synth, drums and vocals.
Lyrics
It's alright, we're ok
Sun on the horizon, break of day
Oh, long and forgotten, the old way
Writing on the wall, it's gonna change
It's alright, we're ok
Sun on the horizon, break of day
Oh, long and forgotten, the old way
Writing on the wall, this all is gonna change
We've been wandering far too long
Opposite directions into the stars
Out here looking for something right
Solitary distant points of light
Still drifting out of sight
It's alright, we're ok
Sun on the horizon, break of day
Oh, long and forgotten, the old way
Writing on the wall, it's gonna change
It's alright, we're ok
Sun on the horizon, break of day
Oh, long and forgotten, the old way
Writing on the wall, this all is gonna change
We've been swimming against the waves
Churning up the water, slipping away
Looking for light through eyes so dim
Reaching for the answer with a ghost limb
Still thinking we can win
It's alright, we're ok
Sun on the horizon, break of day
Oh, long and forgotten, the old way
Writing on the wall, it's gonna change
It's alright, we're ok
Sun on the horizon, break of day
Oh, long and forgotten, the old way
Writing on the wall, this all is gonna change
