After the initial writing session we stayed up all night recording the demo, Dan finished his bass part and went to bed and the rest of us continued on in an alcohol fueled recording session. After going over and over the song adding different layers in our Air-BnB in Nashville, Dan burst out of his room absolutely pissed off that we had been going so long and so loud which was kind of hilarious. We needed to finish the demo so we of course just continued on. A couple days later when I was recording the guitar solo in the studio he said “Where did that solo come from!?“ which was possibly one of the funniest moments from recording the album. After explaining it was written when he was all pissed off that he couldn’t sleep he said “well I didn’t realize you were writing epic stuff like that“, it was good fun. The song lyrically is about looking back at something that is important but neglected, seeing something in a shadow of its former glory. Continuing the recording process, producer Nick Raskulinecz suggested we experiment by adding a string section to the song, Josh ended up writing all those parts and it really took the song to another level. LYRICS: Looking down At this mess we’ve made Will we ever be forgiven? Cause we’ll never be the same Looking back Don’t know how we got here From all that we were given Now it’s ashes in the rain Just ashes in the rain Sun cries red Oceans start to dry Angels start to die Beginning of the end Sun cries red Tear drops turn to blood Fires start to flood And all is done and said Sun cries red Looking up Are we too gone to save? When did our horizon Have nothing left to say? Losing hope In these blackened eyes Try to see the silver lining But our hearts are going blind Our hearts are going blind Sun cries red Oceans start to dry Angels start to die Beginning of the end Sun cries red Tear drops turn to blood Fires start to flood And all is done and said Sun cries red Sun cries red Sun cries red Sun cries red Buried under clouds In the shadows of the end How long can this go on? How long can we pretend? Sun cries red Oceans start to dry Angels fall and die Beginning of the end Sun cries red Tear drops turn to blood Fires start to flood And all is done and said Sun cries red Sun cries red Sun cries red Sun cries red --- Black Smoke Trigger is: Baldrick - Vocals Charlie Wallace - Guitar Dan Fulton - Bass Josh Te Maro - Drums Edited by: Josh Te Maro Produced by: Charlie Wallace, Josh Te Maro Music Produced by: Nick Raskulinecz Music Recorded at: Rock Falcon Studio, Nashville, USA Follow Black Smoke Trigger: Facebook: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Spotify: YouTube: #blacksmoketrigger #SunCriesRed #horizons
