Lower Dens: I Get Nervous ('10)

Do you remember where you were Dec.31st 1999? I do. I was skinny dipping in the Indian ocean, wondering if the world would end. Wondering if this were to be my final resting place. Beautiful black water, warm, weightless, and accepting of the inevitable. This is the emotion that swells within me from the opening bars of I Get Nervous, till the final note. The build up to the overwhelming swell of guitars, the reverb, it's all layered and overlapped spectacularly! The soft bewitching female vocals, and hypnotic hook, almost intensify the feeling of something grater then ones own self, the feeling of leaving everything and everyone that ever mattered to you and going home. The feeling of being free. There is a fear and anxiety that goes with that, as well as an excitement, and euphoria. It's exhilarating, and devastating all within the same breath. Beautiful black warm water, weightless, calm and smooth as glass.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. And if that is the case then music is the doorway. Why go through a window when you can open a door?
And if a door is opened in front of you then why not walk through, however frightening it maybe on the other side.

Here is the door, now step inside..........
