I see the lightning, hear the thunder.
That's not the way things used to be.
I used to sit and stair and wonder,
"Is this all life has in store for me?"
It came upon me on a cold Hallow's Eve.
It gave me everything a god could need.
And I believe it's coming back this way.
There is a current in the water
To restore the way things were back then.
Before The Fake came down and got us.
Before we split into us and them.
And I can feel it on its way back here.
You may not like it, but you'll face your fear.
'Cause I believe it's coming back–The Sway.
[The Kid]
I believe that I can't fight this funky feeling,
I've got to be believing, I've got to know.
I said, I believe that I can you unite the minds of reason,
With a heart and soul of feeling, I've got to try.
I believe that I can't fight this funky feeling,
I've got to be believing, I've got to know.
I said, I believe that I can unite the minds of reason,
With a heart and soul of feeling. I've got to try.
Oh! Are you sure that I'm the guy!?
If you say it's true, if you say that it is so...
Then you know, that I'll try.
BEGIN.

I’ve always loved the funky side of Alpha. But the dark, wonderfully creepy ballads shine on this album! Tracks like Snuff ‘Em Out (my fav thx to a vid Alpha shared last month), Veins or Meat Ribbons are amazing. Synthwave sounds stale to me lately because of similar sound, omnipresent arpeggiators, weak melodies and basic harmonic structure, but Alpha’s unusual chord progressions as well as comparatively exotic melodies entertain me. I’ll be returning to this EP a lot; happy for the cas Tichounko
