The like ambient break down/outro has kind of a Trevor Jones, James Horner thing about it that was awesome... really interesting atmosphere.  Cool track.

The lyrics are quite fantastic. I like how you have the backing vocals in the track adding some drama to this wonderful unique banger. And then the track transitions into another atmospheric dimension.

That end! Like Pavement did a load of hallucinogens and drifted somewhere else through a song. Great!

really well done, all the comments had me waiting for the end and it did not disappoint.

Sounds great (Fiancé loves it) and the outro is rad, but there should be some kind of award for rhyming "anaphylaxis" with "XY axis"

Love this song. The lyrics are super good. And taking the time for the outro was beautifully done. I was positively touched again by your humor and musical taste. You create good moods. Thanks.

very cool! I really like that change in the middle. Your recipe works great here and the whole is very colourful and has the sense of drama and journey...great!

As always I love the lyrics, but also, in this particular track, it's great to hear that change of direction mid-song(i suppose it's not such a change in direction as it is in the general momentum: it brings the song to a beautiful close in a very effective way). Rendered with excellent compositional skill!

Love it, propulsive rocking and catchy, lyrics sooo good. May be fave of yours this year! The surpise end was awesome.
Now I will be thinking all day about what a home in the xy axis means. I love last verse lyrics, an "undying lotus" wonderful

So she's "made her home in the xy axis" and "exists" in black and white. No depth? But also unchanging and incorruptible. Is she "life," maybe? On the song, your vocal melodies are strong as ever. But my favorite is the back half: the sad but grand synth strings attended on either side by soft bells, and that flanged guitar from the beginning looping and winding outwards

lovely flatland romance!

lovely flatland romance!

The best adventures come with surprises.  Thanks for listening!

Lyrics and then an extended instrumental outro felt like the best of both worlds to me.  Thanks!

Thanks!  I was looking up all the movies those guys composed for, and it's an impressive list.  Good company to be sure.

Thanks! I had some fun playing with the synths at the end there.

I don't always know where songs are going to end up, but I knew from the beginning this one would have an outro along these lines.  Thanks for listening!

I think backing vocals can add a lot to a track.  I'm going to try to continue utilizing them more this year. Thanks!

Love that comparison.  Thanks for listening!

Thanks!  It's fun to throw a little something special into an ending once in a while, I think.

  Thanks!  I was pretty happy with that particular turn of phrase.  And tell your fiancé thanks as well!

Thanks as always for listening and for your kind words!  And it's worth taking a little time for some stuff like that outro for sure.

Thank you!

Thanks!  Trying to keep those creative juices flowing. 

  I might have to explore a little more noisy ambient this year.  Thanks for listening!

I do like when music takes me on a journey.  Thanks for listening!

Thank you.  I guess it is a change of direction, but hopefully one that seems to flow out naturally.

Sometimes I like lyrics that don't spell everything out and leave some room for interpretation.  Thanks for listening!

  I like that interpretation of the lyrics.  The outro for sure felt like an important component of this one for me.

  I remember reading Flatland in school, and it has certainly stuck with me.  I have no doubt it exerted an influence on these lyrics.  Thanks for listening!
