about

Gravity is one of our favorites from the vault, with the original recording dating back to 2002. For the 20th anniversary of the track, we decided to dust it off and re-record all the instruments, with new mixing and mastering. It's a song that we've wanted to give its proper due for a long time, so we're happy to finally get it back out there and into your hands.

Thanks as always for your support!

LYRICS

All of us are bound to something
The push and pull, a daily grind
But some of us are bound to find
A pull of some unearthly kind

So young at heart may find their way on raging wheels
But younger still can will the earth to reel away

In a million matters
All that matters is a single soul
What if his hold on this reality shatters?
Do we need to know all that we know?

None of us should be too proud
Caught up in that upward climb
Unconscious of the cosmic crimes
That wait for us above the crowd

But if we climbed a nearer cloud
And reached out from an earthly space
We'd find ourselves a rightful place
To do the good that we're allowed

So young at heart may dream the day in rusty fields
But younger still might thrill to carve a gleaming way

All that matters is a single soul
That rises on our wings
Let fall the gift of matter
Gifts are such hollow things
What if his hold on this reality shatters?
Must our earthen hero hang from gilded strings?

In a million matters
All that matters is a single soul
What if his hold on this reality shatters?
Do we need to know all that we know?
All that we know is

All that matters is a single soul
That rises on our wings
Let fall the gift of matter
Gifts are such hollow things
What if his hold on this reality shatters?
Must our earthen hero hang from gilded strings?

All that matters is a single soul
(In a million matters)
That rises on our wings
Let fall the gift of matter
(All that matters is a single soul)
Gifts are such hollow things
What if his hold on this reality shatters?
(Do we need to know?)
Do we need to know all that we know?

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
