The challenge is to set up a julio quip in every sentence you type.

This song is in about 6 different time signatures. But not in any purposeful or frantic way, just in a very languid "that's just how the song happened," way. I love the chords. I love the addition of the G# to the A# chord. I love the gentle sound of the organ droning in the background. The song is very watery, light blue. I do wish, though, that the chords were trilled in a more harp-like manner. It would be more fitting. Somehow they are just a bit clunky. I don't know what will happen to this song in the studio. It runs the risk of sounding too much like Pyramid Song if they are not careful, but I'm sure they're aware of that.

Not A# chord, A chord. *tired*

It sounds a bit like Boy Child at the start + the end.

four months pass...
Today this is my new favourite song on the album. Even though it's just a slightly more trippy version of "Nice Dream", innit? I don't even mind the hackneyed trite piano and jazzguitar sounds, simply for the shimmering psychedelic wibblewibblewibble textures scintillating ever so gently in the background. That's what saves it from being as boring as Pyramid Song.

In a perfect world, there would be a remix that would be just vocals (HisNameIsAlive-a-fied to get rid of all those pesky words) and shimmery spacenoises and that would be the best song, ever.
