Neat concept! Haven't read the books yet (so I skipped the spoiler tag for now), but I hear good things so it sounds like I'll have to give them a shot. Haven't seen the show either, so I'm not familiar with the music direction, but I bet this track could be the backbone of a stellar montage collecting the best bits of the show. I dig your songwriting style anyway, so I'm biased, but I think any storyteller would be lucky to have you lending your music to their project.

Enjoyed the books a while back - this is not what I expected but I love this take . Why can't we just get along with our trisolaran friends? The earthers should've tried broadcasting a nice catchy song like this into space.

love how to vocals kind of slide around like the guitar. Excellent bass work. Great doubled vocals. Love this one! Favoriting!

Such nice work here.

I watched the show but it made me want to read the actual books instead I took issue with some of the execution but it got me curious to explore more which is a good thing:)

It's such a great scifi concept though. This is a nice homage to the core of the story conflict. There is a Star Trek TNG episode where the enterprise makes first contact with a planet who's people are not ready and it devolves into a similar fearful escalation but with a different tone and spin. It's almost like seeing it from the flipped perspective. Very cool stuff.

Great rhythm section on this track.  I really like the panning on the hats (and snare maybe?).  The movement adds a really nice bouncy quality, and augments bass really nicely.  Great groove.

i love this woozy laid back vibe, really cool mode for you!

^ agreed. am i hearing 2 kicks too? that bass part is so tasty. it all is, really. and i love how much thought you put into the lyrics. some intriguing ideas. i'm not familiar with the Three Body Problem, but may need to look into that! cheers

Beautifully done, as always, and the subject matter is fascinating, too. "Dark Forest" was my favorite book in the series, this idea was entirely novel to me, but provides a decent explanation for the Fermi paradox. It's very bleak, sure, but as you point out in your lyrics, we won't live to experience whether it's true or not. And that is in many ways even bleaker. Which makes spending time on what we love the only sensible thing to do. Hence, I applaud Weekly Beats and your music in particular! Thanks for sharing.

i love the books and love the song! nicely done

i honestly think of dark forest theory all the time when reading other sci/fi because i seems so right. he set the standard for a lot of things

The play between the bassline, guitar and your vocals is very soothing.  Excellent guitar sound as always on your tracks.  Extra enjoyed the guitar solo towards the end.

Excellent. What a magic bassline. Canˋt stop listening.

Thank you! Yeah I will say this song is not really a "vibe match" for the books/show other than the lyrics, things tend to be a bit more serious. I appreciate the kind words

Haha thanks so much, yeah I can't believe they never tried bonding over music

Aw shucks, thank you! Bass was very fun to play

Thank you!

Ooohh yeah that TNG episode sounds interesting for sure. It's a weird and somewhat frightening thought experiment. Thanks for listening!

Thank you! I went a bit weird with the drums. There's an electric kit panned left and an acoustic kit panned right, both playing slightly different beats. I thought it sounded a bit weird but also fun?

Thanks so much! Yeah, two kicks, snares, and hi-hats haha. I originally just had the electronic kit but it sounded a bit too "sterile" for what I was going for.

Aw thanks so much! Dark Forest was probably my favorite as well, so interesting and somewhat terrifying to think about. Appreciate your listening and kind words

Thank you! Yeah I'm inclined to agree, I haven't read a ton of sci-fi other than some of the "big ones" but thought the general premise of the dark forest theory is so well thought out and implemented in the books.

Aw thanks so much, I appreciate it.

Thank you! Bass line was my favorite part to play
