about

It is time for ‘Intermission’, this song comes from the heart and is driven by world changes which have taken place, or still need to happen. This song is a reminder that we are the change, but also that we can choose to paddle against the rushing tide, or to not steer the river. Undoubtedly, we the people need to unite & inspire. Dont let the organization try steer us wrong.

Inspiration for the lyrics came from the wise words of Deepak Chopra, music creation inspired somewhat by Radiohead and we feel that we created something which fits today’s generation and would be a great movie soundscape. This track touches elements of Dub Reggae & Breakbeat, and with the recent 40th anniversary of the legendary Roland TB-303 we just had to add these elements alongside subtle sounds of a didgeridoo and some emotive strings. Intermission took shape in a kind of ‘The Midnight Gospel’ style, a Netflix TV Series.

Alice, William & Paul - Alchemy3, describe Intermission as a Modern indie soundtrack piece, with rhythms, carefree vibes with energetic beats, flooded with haunting but optimistic airy vocals and highly positive emotive strings which when brought together builds strength and power to a rousing finish.

lyrics

Don't try to steer the river
Don't try to steer the river
Don't try to steer the river
Don't try to steer the river

If you or I are having a single thought of violence
or hatred to anyone in the world at this moment
we are contributing to the wounding of the world

Every time you are tempted
to react in the same old way
ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past
or a pioneer of the future.

Don't try to steer the river
Don't try to steer the river
Don't try to steer the river
Don't try to steer the river
