about

This song was inspired by the situation it was born in - standing behind a till for the umpteenth hour that day, staring out at the shop floor, waiting for the moment when I could put on my coat, walk out that door, and head to the nearest show.

A lot of our songs are political in nature, looking outward to the world around us. This song looks a little more inward.

Sometimes a beat is all you need.

LYRICS

The drum beats like a heartbeat in your chest
Your heads on fire your souls at rest 

Hear the tempo rise and your pulse rise up to meet it



Feel the air tense up in waves

I’ve had a long fucking day 

Pressure builds

As the drum fill

Begins to pound faster until



A moment of calm

Some time to breath

The sigh

Before 

The storm 



Face to face and heart to heart

Almost touching, worlds apart

There is cleansing in 
The sweat, the sound, the screaming



The crash of cymbals tears the air

The roll of toms the crack of snare

The pressure builds 

As the drum fill

Begins to pound faster until



A moment of calm

Some time to breath

The sigh

Before 
The storm



I wanna free myself and break the chains that bind me

Will you lend your voice and lose yourself and find me 



Tomorrows round the corner

But tonight could last forever 

We'll never know until it’s over



Feel the beating of the drum
Feel the beating of the drum
Feel the beating of the drum
Feel the beating of the drum

I wanna free myself
 and break the chains that bind me

Will you lend your voice and lose yourself and find me 


I Wanna close my eyes
 and leave the world behind me

Will you come move with me and feel the beat inside me

Will you still be with me when the wave breaks and this all comes to an end
