This lil diddly has taken us a bit longer to post but I believe this tune was finished in June '14.
 
Tony's way better at details but here's the general background...
 
The concept came at about the same time as 2 or 3 others ideas hit the drawing board (we normally fling poop to the wall and if anything sticks we make a tune out of it) but we normally dig a bit deeper to fully create what is bouncing round our heads collectively...this lil funny duck just kinda stood on its own and willfully shed most ideas until we all just gave up and let her stand alone and unafraid in her quirky light......its destined to be a bridge song on our 5th CD which should be out in the spring of '15 (that's my best guess). Hope all is well in your part of the world!

What can I say knowing the amount of time and effort you guys put into you tunes.
 
Nice, I Like, cool tune, perhaps a little louder on the vox, good production, well captured.
 
Thanks guys I enjoyed.

Gripping. Desperate.
Funny how something like this crawls out from some dark corner and proudly states that it must exist.
I like it.
ps. Do you know there's about a minute of silence at the end?

Goodness me..the nearest thing I've heard to a ballad by DT . Wonderful stuff as always guys, you know I'm a fan. Love the way this builds without making a fuss about it, and those trademark 'weird' bits are going on in the background...

Wow what a terrific production.  Very cinematic indeed. The rhythmic sounds of the guitar(s) pull you into the song and are accented wonderfully by the change ups and sounds (percussion, strings, and various other sounds).  The lyrics and vocals complement the entire work.
 Excellent work my friends.

What I like about this song is that there is nothing else I can compare it to.  The style is unique, to me, and the production is well done.  I had trouble understanding the vocals, but this could be just right for this style.  I liked it so much that I had to listen twice.  Way cool!
