If a Kalimba and a ukulele got into a fight, who would win?

would a hybrid instrument be called a Ukulimba or a Calele?

I was zoning out to this song today and it was apparent that it's like the second bookend to "Indifference"
"how much difference does it make?"
"a wish denied to lengthen our time... won't hold us down, etc"
I wanna hear this 1-2-3 punch:
Indifference
No Way

I kinda wish there was some more ambient noise before this one really starts. Or even silence.

Just wanted to say that “Folded over, forced in a choke hold” is my favorite vocal line on the record. Something about that melody gets me every time I listen.

It is good. Pretty successfully brings me back into the song after the immediately preceding lyrics break the spell for me a little bit.

I dont know...i kinda love how it starts...the quick drums, the pump organ...it quickly changes the mood from Retrograde´s finale.

oh sure
tbh most of my "alternative / coulda-been" ideas and scenarios on this album are not actual weaknesses, they're just thought experiments cos cool things can always be a bit cooler

First time really listening deeply to this track in a little while and holy crap, the lyrics in light of Black Lives Matter/George Floyd:
"Folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnumbered and held down
And all this talk of rapture
Look around at the promise now
Here and now
Here and now
Can't hold me down
Can't hold me down
Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down"
