Another sunny day passed us by Cover the glowing, friend Help to make it end Blaze away yes All days ahead without us What to then when there’s nothing left? And when the sun he fades we’ll be fine Cover the glowing, friend Help to make it end Only the lonely know the glow is failing

Turbochant 03:25
Turning pale Blinking eyes We'll suffer again When we break Then we cry Had enough of the pain Ascending Reach a height With the rest of our strength With one aim We pray all night We're turbochanting

-------------------------

"Stuff we wish had a super-injunction so we wouldn't have to listen to it: Judging from the sound produced in this track, it's not only the lonely that know the 'glow' is failing. The Last Sound produce something which is trying to be edgy, creative and in your face but fall at every hurdle in the race. The track is a mishmash of sounds and lo-fi vocals which whine and get under your skin at any opportunity, ouch." - The Whiteboard Project

-------------------------

"I'll be honest, I think I listened to this track about eight times before I could review it. The unaffecting, sapless sigh of a bland idea of electronica was the sonic equivalent of when you get to the bottom of your page and realise you haven't taken in any of the words.

Then there's the rogue strand of discordant synth near the end which is like an eyelash in your eye. Only I know the glow is epically failing. 1.5/5" - Spoonfed Blog
