A little hint for everyone: this song takes place in 1914 on the streets of Southampton, England. It's mostly from the main character's point of view in our musical The Raven Locks.

I kept thinking based purely on the sound and lyrics it was set immediately post World War I, so it's interesting to realize it's instead set at the beginning

Honestly I feel like this song would be the opening number in a musical about a dark steampunk post-apocalypse. I love it!

This is the main theme for a steampunk city in my d&d campaign, can’t wait to run more of it! If the Amulets (my party) see this, hello :D

This song terrifies me, I cannot stop listening.

How can a song be simultaneously joyous and yet bring tears to my eyes? I don't know. It's magic.

This song really makes we want to write a steampunk story.

I feel like I've been brought back to the past world of old, yet I'm still standing in the same shoes I wore yesterday. - Kudos to you guys and gals. This feels like an everlasting song with ties to the times.

This is a new sonic experience, and a whole new category Most music is boring - this is not. The level of pure talent and creativity is off the charts for me. Every track leaves my mouth agape. Unbelievable talent, writing, and production. How is it that this band is not at the Grammy's? Can't you imagine this theatrical show taking center stage on such a global stage? And leaving audiences marveling at the sonic and visual experience. Yet it may be like Bach - decades ahead of its time. The Imago Dei shines through every track. I am speechless at the creativity and glory on display.

This is officially my new favourite song... Seriously, this is fantastic.

"now we know we can build it ourselves" is an unexpectedly chilling lyric

When I take over the world, this will be the anthem

Just shared word of you guys to my friend, he loves you guys already. Like I'm not one to express my love for songs/bands in public but I can't help but mouth along to the words, tap along to the rhythm, and more. I absolutely ***love*** you guys. Keep up the amazing work!!!

Wow. I’ve tried to describe how this song effects me. All I’m left with, is wow.

Okay, but is anyone gonna talk about that riff from Chopin's Funeral March at the end? How genius and subtle! Wow!!

Helllooooo newest musical obsession.

How does this not have more views!? Your music is AWESOME!

I love this song, absolutely beautiful!

i just found this band today and i love it already

now to add this to my steampunk engineer playlist that inspires my artificer characters in D&D lol

how come there arent more ppl listening to this??? its so good!!!

Listening to this makes me feel I just stumbled upon an ancient treasure or some forbidden artifacts that will grant me tremendous powers. Knowing about the existence of this song feels illegal.

this needs more hype

Idk exactly what this song is about, but my interpretation is that it's about (and I'm sorry uf my interpretation is too surface-level) humanity's desire to make progress in the way of innovation. One day it gets to the point where the sky gets polluted and they can't see the sun. People start thinking they don't need things like the sun, because it doesn't matter. If it exists, we can make it ourselves. It's so prideful it's almost hopeful, but that pride becomes our undoing when we remember that we're only human. We underestimated the sun and just when we thought it was nothing to us, we flew so high we ended up getting burned. But since you said it takes place in Southampton, England 1914, it probably has something to with WW1 and the soldiers who used it as a port. I'm just not sure what the song is about when I think about it from that perspective, so I'm sticking with my interpretation.

It may have something to do with the fact that Southampton had just gotten electrical lights not long before the song is set.

They believe they have become the masters of the world, being able to solve any problems with machines. Like every generation, they consider themselves more perceptive, foreseeing and brilliant than previous ones. And there are several lines by someone trying to convince others to donate for military, there is some speech, there are some conservative views in the first part, so I guess (but am far from sure) that there is more than one person singing.

I want you guys to know that I think your music style is incredibly. I've loved your music since 2011 when I first heard Great Vacation. Thank you for making your own fantastic style of music! :)

Oh gosh, I love this song soo much, its my new favorite song by them!

Absolutely fantastic vibes

Absolutely stellar. Love the new orleans parade vibe. I picture gothic clowns on parade

Whoah these songs are really good, why do you have so little subscribers?? these are literally masterpieces

how apropos to current events... like my favorite past authors that saw the future...

this slaps

Amazing song that really resonates!

Love this so much! Just came across it in my Amanda Palmer/Dresden Dolls inspired Spotify. Thinking of using it for an audition song at some point! ❤️

This will now get stuck in my head

This is amazing

I really want to do an animatic about of a super-powerful person worshiped as a god by people w/ this music

Came across this song on a playlist based off of a character who was made by a bunch of scientists called foreclaimers, who literally pulled down the sun and made 50% into a god. They have no empathy and their goal is to go beyond humanity, beyond mortality. This songs fits them so well!! :D

What great and apropos lyrics!

You guys are simply my favorite band

Hope you don't mind if I use this song for a school project about Fahrenheit 451

I legit thought for the longest time this was a song about humanity in the far future building a Dyson Sphere and in their hubris dooming themselves in to an eternal night all in the name of progress, playing god and forgetting our place in the world

Well that was depressing, ngl

It's rhetorical, I get it, but I can't help but answer why do we use a sun (as a source of energy) when we have an electrical one: solar energy and geothermal energy make up the two major renewable resources on planet Earth, and other forms of energy will be used up or not provide energy at the rate at which we need. We could throw out solar energy in favor of lights to help plants photosynthesize in huge facilities, but that electrical energy is as limited as the power plant providing it, which relies on fossil fuels or nuclear energy which is also limited; power plants can also derive energy from wind and water movement, but the hydrosphere and atmosphere need solar energy to operate: gyres move in respect to temperature and saline content changes, and wind relies on pressure changes which occur from warm and cold front which are affected by the sun. Not to mention the environmental effects of power plants, especially fossil fuel ones but we all know that by now. Also, we could utilize geothermal energy to make electrical lights, a very wise choice, indeed, but it will still result in a form environmental impact, such as releasing sulfuric contents into the ground as well as other toxins involved in the process of using underground water.
