Vast Difference
- Songwriter:

This song is about the push and pull between science and faith, and the growth that lies on the far side of challenge. Either can aide you or hold you back. What is one to do? The message of this song is that I find it best to preserve relationships through challenging contexts over clinging to our mental models. The song is suggesting that it is probably best to edit the model, rather than trying to change the people around you.
Lyrics
Emptiness plagues us Science betrayed us I feel the witness Failing to resist Closer with each step I’m racing to my death I’d rather die than to Feel this in time I... In time... Jesus weeps It takes a tragedy to build some harmony The soul must feel disease to build immunity What they did was jaded it faded They didn’t save it they ate it Wasted away our lifeline in time... Space grows between us Faith has betrayed us Strange how we resist this Dying existence I’d rather die than to lose you In time I Drift past our last hope Breathe as we let go In time... It fades away You take away the pain it still remains the same It takes the light of day to chase the night away What they did was jaded it faded They didn’t save it they ate it Wasted away our lifeline in time...
Recording Notes
This was a song I had practiced many times with a band I was in prior to solo recording. I think that led to me having a fairly detailed idea of where things should go. It was a bit hard for me to record the bass and program the drums, emotionally, because I missed having the musicians from that band (RED).
I did write these drums and the bass line. I really don't know that I would be able to reproduce their original parts as they were both extremely talented and specialized in their instruments. However, as far as what I am capable of, this is a decent representation of the song as is.
