    From Trent on Discord:

    Regarding the track w Antonio, we made friends at some film awards events we were both at years ago. I let him know his score for Birdman was undoubtably the year’s best and we stayed in touch.Over lockdown he reached out about a collaboration where I send him a single element that he builds a song around. I wrote some lyrics, Att and I had a synth arpeggio I used as an anchor and I sang whatever felt right against that static synth line, using some of the lyrics written. One take, purely instinctual.
    We sent the vocal and the synth line off to Antonio and I think I suggested not to “fix” anything - keep it pure. Several months later he sent back what you hear now. We had no idea what to expect or what direction he’d take things and it was cool to hear where he went with it - inserting chord changes, etc. Plus, I’d forgotten what I did so it was a fun listen for us. Alan Moulder got involved with the mix.

    Here’s the full lyrics:


    I’m not really interested in your point of view
    I can hear
    Sound coming out of them
    But I don’t seem to be able
    To comprehend
    I can feel
    Their bullets fly through me
    But I think i’ve decided
    They don’t work on me


    And I guess I
    should thank you
    By the way, for helping me
    To open my head
    and letting all that out
    For showing me the way
    To be free


    Sweeping broad strokes
    With my lathe of heaven
    paint right over
    every last trace
    this is a new place
    for just me and you


    I’m tired
    aren’t you?
    Really tired
    I can hear it
    Hear it calling
    Like a drumbeat
    Calling
    it plays when i’m sleeping
    (Which I think is all the time now)
    but i hear it all


    you know i don’t really
    not anymore
    i think i’ve passed the point
    of rationality
    and that’s ok
    if that’s the way it is now
    i will adapt
    i have mutated


    listening is overrated
    and unnecessary


    But I think we’re past that now


    We have all the time in the world
    Waiting for something to happen
    Waiting


    Just you and me
    And nothing else matters
    Because ive decided
    There is nothing else but
    You and me


    We have all the time in the world
    We have all the time in our world


    Time keeps on slippin
    Into the future

    It's gonna be a "yes" for me.

    Though, that sudden fade is disappointing. I'd like the last ~40 seconds to be repeated for a few minutes.

    well that makes a lot of sense. vocals sound unfinished while the music is ultra polished.

    The first minute or so didn't feel very cohesive for me, kind of jarring with the vocals. I think i could tell that the vocals were done first before the music as was mentioned by TR but after the chorus hits the rest of the song was smooth sailing for me and i really enjoyed it!

    The fact that we're missing...2/3? of the lyrics really makes me hope there's a full or extended version of this.

    Definitely different.

    I'd like to hear what they would do if they took his version and remixed it like they did with Todd Rundgren's Deaf Ears.

    first off, I have no idea what people are talking about. This sounds so much more interesting to me than most production. I love it!

    Also, is that a reference to The Steve Miller Band?! Hilarious.

    Not bad at all, mostly just kind of boring... I don't feel like the track really goes anywhere.

    My first impression was one of confusion because I’m not used to hearing TR vocals so separated from the music. I did really like the chorus though. And that fade out took me by surprise as it sounds like the song is building to a final crescendo, but we never get to hear it all.


    Upon repeat listenings I’ve finally adjusted to the discordance and am starting to really enjoy the whole piece (except that fade out, still feels like such a tease :-)

    I wonder if any of the words date back to Bleedthrough with the lathe of heaven reference.

    I think it's crazy how much this thread dropped off. Are people just not feeling this one as much as some of the other newer collab tracks? I think this one is pretty damn good. Love the lathe of heaven lyric and it's oblique look back to the Bleedthrough/WithTeeth era.

    Less people have probably listened to it because Antonio Sanchez doesn't have the same pull as Danny Elfman, HEALTH, or Tobacco. Though I personally loved the Birdman score.

    I’m not a fan of the fade out at the end, otherwise I love this track. It’s stuck in my head. Maybe others don’t like that fade out? Not sure.

    Only a European link but I'm sure they ship internationally. That link is for the CD. Vinyl is linked on that page.

    Yeah, it seems incomplete. I don't hate it.
