about

Going deep into Peter Gabriel territory this week, with nothing but CP-70s, Prophets, Fairlights, and fretless basses. Even some gated reverbs and a vocoder!

I've just finished reading White Noise, and so many of that book's themes line up well with Gabriel preoccupations. Scott challenged us to write about an emotion, so fear of death is what ya get!

lyrics

It strikes like a serpent
The trespass begins
Unbidden and urgent
The wage of our sins

felt first in the palms
The heat and the flash
The memory of endings
The car set to crash

Always the panic
Always the rush
To know how it’s ending
To feel the crush

I’d walk the earth to forget you
Only to lose my North Star
Can’t turn my back on the memory
Forever tracing the scar

And if you could shake it
Swallow that pill
Forget how it tasted
Bury that thrill

Always the panic
Always the rush
To know how it’s ending
To feel the crush

I’d walk the earth to forget you
Only to lose my North Star
Can’t turn my back on the memory
Forever tracing the scar
