Retrograde

[EJ]

I played a few of the songs for my six-year old and she hated them all except this one which she really liked. So now I’m stuck with it for better or worse...

Wait till Kidz Bop covers it. You may come around to it.

[Gigalogy84]

This and Buckle Up stick out like sore thumbs. This is like a Lightning Bolt b-side.

[Ms Harmless]

the only thing I dislike about this is "...lift us uuuu-huuu-huuuuup"

the rest is very nice

[stip]

I'm listening on shuffle, and retrograde works much better for as a closer. In part because it ends so beautifully it's a nice note to go out on, but it also helps not being part of a stretch of 4 slower songs, and being the weakest of the bunch (and not being followed by river cross, which is aiming to do the same thing as Retrograde but probably more effectively

I wonder what would happen if you put River Cross at the top?

Took this song for a walk. It is touching.

A stab at Retrograde lyrics.

Where the punctuation is on the seven seas lyric really changes how to read that line. And I'm not sure what he's chanting at the end.


Comes the summer rain
Cue the lighting and far off thunder again
Projecting through the clouds
Meditations lifting out in the sound
The more mistakes the more resolve
It’s gonna take much more than ordinary love
To lift this up

Stars align they say when things are better then right now
Feel the retrograde spin us round round round
Seven seas are raising forever future’s fading out
Feel the retrograde all around round round

Accelerate the change
Feeling equal opposite all the same
Momentum rearranged
Shout the echo, turning back but now changed
The rusted shapes refuse to fall
It’s gonna take much more than ordinary love

[stip]

this was on one go. I'm sure there are mistakes. Please chime in Gonna work on Never Destination next

[Ms Harmless]

I love "accelerate the change"

[Chris_H_2]

It's Speed of sound, but good.

i think it's a speed of sound and force of nature amalgam. i really, really like this one.

[Ms Harmless]

this was a highlight for my partner, as well as the singles

[evenslow]

i can see stip's point where that final 1m50s is the big finish to the album. makes sense. but river cross is light years (!) better.

[Ms Harmless]

it is

who would've thought "feel the sound" would accompany the best part of the song

LOL. No kidding. But damn this song and it’s outro. With current events such as they are, this song helps.
