lyrics
We were born
On a lightning storm
Oh we were born
On a lightning storm
dezhonest: "The intro portion of this instrumental embodies the first phases of a thunderstorm--clouds approaching, lightning flashes, rain, wind blowing. The rest of the instrumental represents the development of an idea. Taking something simple and exercising all the known possibilities of its form. Knowing that some things won't work the first time and mistakes will be made along the way. But also understanding that you'll know what you were looking for once you've formed (or found it). And that, many times, is the purpose of seclusion."
