There’s people out there in the street,
They’ve got something to say.
But it’s hard to get your message across,
When you’re kept six feet away.
There’s a river flowing through my town,
Where once I used to play.
But danger signs are everywhere now,
So the children stay away.
I don’t wanna live in a constant state of emergency,
That politicians create.
People need to see where the money goes,
Who is walking around wearing rich man’s clothes.
The world is getting hotter, they tell me every day.
A climate state of emergency will keep the heat away.
Life was a risky business,
But now the worriers rule the day.
I guess I’ll hide under my table,
Till the danger goes away.
I don’t want to live in a constant state of emergency,
That politicians create.
People need to see where the money goes,
Who is walking around wearing rich man’s clothes.

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2019

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10. Alrihkh
