Sounds old, but in a good way... like early David Bowie.
I love the lyrics and your rendition of it, unusual but very interesting, keeps me listening to the end.
Good song! BD, thanks. I like it when people listen to the end!

A really different vocal approach and exactly what the song called for.
Menacing message and atmosphere.
Was '39 too late - for some yes.
Thought provoking.
The oohs are a really good touch.
Fabulous stuff. Thanks, Ray. Yes, 39 too late for some, but perhaps not for the world if someone had ended his reign then.

Definitely gives the listener something to think about. Personally, I don't think this is too busy or over-ambitious, Scott. I like that you added the melodic hook of the oooohs. Really nicely done, IMO.

The instrumentation in and the overall sound of this song is really excellent. A unique sound and great use of the erhu. I very much enjoyed everything about this. Wonderful stuf!
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#69: Bring consciousness to it.
#74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Great scary intro and a very interesting arrangement, I enjoy the Western and Eastern crossover style.
Very intriguing lyrics, I like "You can shuffle and rearrange/Nothing’s ever gonna change". You can really combine the story and the band into a unique journey in time and space.
Excellent vocals, great range, I can also hear the Bowie vibe there, especially in the vibrato.

Dewey Thanks, Dewey. I wanted to do some background ooooos, but I wasn't sure until I plunked it out on the piano.

Janne Janne, thank you. It's interesting that you pointed out that part of the lyric. That was the section I was stuck on and the last bit I wrote.

Ŵe both love sci fi (Bud read Sound Of Thunder way, way back in high school).
The opening is absolutely spectacular.
We have seen erhus on Playing For Change but did not know its name - love it.
Along with the bassoon it had us feeling like we were in the time travel contraption.
Your vocals are excellent and the great changes from higher to lower register reminds us of Mike Marttison.
It is very effective
The mix, the write and the session guys are all standout.
And the answer to your question is YES.
Enjoyed it!
J&B
