The faded-in 2025 subtle rain-fireworks sound effect, previously from “cycling remains”, got added here, transitioning to this “enough for you” rendition, representing the sequel. I may also release the SFXs-only version soon, like in the previous releases.

Then, the main guitar leads the track, interwoven with the traditional karawitan and Islamic percussion. My lead vocal takes after that.

I have been really fascinated by the concept of casting shadows on the sun. Brother Ali said in an interview that this is related to him being albino... that the sun burns him... but when he is in his right moments, he can shine so bright that he casts shodows on the thing which most limits him.

This is the second version of a song which was composed and recorded for Philiippa Langley who was the main reason why the grave of King Richard III was found underneath a car park in Leicester.

I think the background lyric is "please my feline". The song is all about being hunted, running away, not daring to look forward, getting scared of a look, another connection that could lead to being drawn back. I think its someone Gary hooked up with once, developed deep feelings for, but found out she only wanted him for the fun stuff and nothing serious, which hurt him, but he keeps getting pulled back so he's trying to escape. The words he can hear reverberate is he was just an "easy ride" which, if you deeply fall for someone, can be...

The words he can hear reverberate is he was just an "easy ride" which, if you deeply fall for someone, can be the most painful thing to hear, so he's running for his life. Later in "Reading Heaney to me" He references a cat twice: "The night tumbles on us, with gentle paws. The cars and the chaos, a muted purr" (Gary explained that he tried to find the lyrics online cos he didn't write his down, and all lyrics stated "pause" instead of "paws" which is wrong - he sings "paws") So I think this is another reference to a cat. A pretty good hunter, and him and his heart are the prey in this song. There are a good number of songs where Gary is heartbroken. He's one of those guys that wears his heart on his sleeve and it gets trampled over easily, or he goes and does something he knows he shouldn't while in a relationship and that causes another heartache. He just aches for love and connection. Now he's build a fortress around his heart and hasn't been with anyone in a damn long time. I hope he faces his fears and finds true love.
how sweet, it's about his lover being the only bright point in his life and the world. Darkness and evil envelops everything else - the only saints are manmade statues, people are "made of greed," etc. Worst of all, there are demons inside him. He's conflicted; he's pleading to her to save him while acknowledging it's better to push her away for her own good ("It's woven in my soul / I need to let you go").
