about

Without a long drawn out reason as to why this song was made, the gist is that everyone experiences loss when it comes to close friends and family. People come and people go, sometimes we are those people to others. The moral is, even as we go astray, I’m still here, still the same and I’ll always be here when the journey circles back.

Fittingly, the main samples were plucked from Elliot Smith’s “A Fond Farewell”. I kept a lot of the authenticity of the samples since they had so much emotion in them but I modified them just enough to maintain the real means of sampling. Of course the drums were chopped from the Head Hunters’ “God Made Me Funky” but then so was everyone else’s. I even sampled Shel Silverstein's vision from "Where the Sidewalk Ends", one of the best books of all time.

Rush offers her vocals again on this track, adding to the emotion and solidifies it as a banger.

Enjoy.

lyrics

Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away


Feel the sting this blood in my heart?
Pump backwards to the tip of the dart
Metal to the veins with the peddle to the pains
Water flood rains rigid pluck of the harp

Felt beyond soul crumbling apart
A pocket in my rib cage empty and plain
You can find my rhythm if you can feel my starve
Breakdown bleed flushed from my vein

Water flood rains tear drops my cheek
Never do I look around and ask God why
I’ve walked the many trails and foot print the path
But I never seem to find my own way to fly

But this I know my thoughts and my feel
Make sure to keep it real tucked within the ill
Kept to feel sick look to find fix
But I’m tired and I’m drained so just sit still


When does it stop the anger and the ache?
The calm of the rage just before the quake
The offset rhythm with no step to take
The sidewalk never ends so I just wait

The side I walk it seems to never end
Lost in the journey just beyond the bend
Too far to turn back too late to save friends
This is - my side - walk that never ends


Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away


So many come and too many leave
Drain my pulse from the veins in my sleeve
I live by the word none left behind
- But they’re unlike me this I believe

High on the ridge I inspect the bridge
Burning on the side from the way that you have come
You can find my person if you can feel my starve
But I don’t make fire I’m water to the sun

Burn if you must then, you walk the bridge
I’ll take the long route down through the river
And I’ll climb back up to meet the other side
And hopefully you’ll cross safe with self and more guide

It’s hard to walk alone and I’ve grown
To understand strength in others to build home
They say no man is an island that’s known
Evaluate self and find your way home


Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away


Don’t look back they tell me to press on
Pack the bags move forward and walk
But I’m peering over shoulders and feeling the stress gone
That’s the drag lose brothers in thought

Keep walking the plank one day you’ll find the end
With a quick step of the deep stumbled in need
And when you find rock bottom and you can’t find them
Look back God speed believe and be freed


When does it stop the anger and the ache?
The calm of the rage just before the quake
The offset rhythm with no step to take
The sidewalk never ends so I just wait

The side I walk it seems to never end
Lost in the journey just beyond the bend
Too far to turn back too late to save friends
This is - my side - walk that never ends


Will you be here tomorrow?
Or will you leave me today?
Will I be hurting tomorrow?
Or will this pain go away

about

peoplemover San Diego, California

Peoplemover, once just a side project of thirdy3rd, has now become a primary focus with a higher influence than just music.

While thirdy3rd is known for their unprecedented, futuristic digital, fast pace, electro hip hop sound, peoplemover can easily be classified as a close relative, yet formed of an organic and hifi analog complexity, fueled by fossil nostalgia of new and old grooves.
