I began working on this track in January 2008; again it started off as a contemplative piece but as usual it intensifies into more of a Hans Zimmer-ish soundtrack.

I don’t think in terms of lyrics and tend to just throw in words that fit initially and chisel them into something that makes sense later. . . this isn’t a very good approach. But I’m more concerned with how the sound moves along so it’s fine for drafting ideas.

Here’s an instrumental version with background vocals which was inspired by the dark and haunting choral piece by Steve Baker and Carmen Dave ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls‘ which featured on the Donnie Darko OST. I love this piece and if I was arranging funeral music this would surely feature when people were entering the church.

If you leave me
On the verge Of Paralysis
We build Snowmen
I forgot to tell you how I feel
and Who thought things would ever change
so forgive me now my Dearest Friend
if I told you I’d stay until the End
