Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost

Liner Notes

I've been having some #prog fun and games with the #WarrGuitar today, inspired by a meme from the late 90s. I really had fun recording and producing this one and I even used my FAWM egg #shaker!

Lyrics

You're not the person you pretend to be I'm past the point of calling you names Sitting at your desk with your soy-milk latté While everything around you is in flames

Don't you see the way we're hanging tight? We won't be letting go without a fight

There's a message flashing on your screen: "Everything not saved will be lost" Don't try to claim you don't know what that means That line was long since crossed

Do you not understand the situation? Or is it that you just don't care? You stoke the fires of this conflagration Each time you claim that it isn't there

The way you profit from disaster Left your directors feeling most impressed But once things start collapsing faster You'll find it's over sooner than you guessed

Another incredible banger. The lyrics got me. "The way you profit from disaster/left your directors feeling most impressed." Just wait till they find out what's in the soymilk latte.

Like the aggressive feel of this one, comes out strong and keeps it up all track.

Great lyrics, giving a double meaning to the title. The music has a cool retro prog feel, and the performance is excellent. Really nice song.

Meme inspired songs are always fun. I like this jumping off point and these are excellent and timely lyrics with a great sound. This is fine.

Marvelously and justifiably angry lyrics in this one. I really like the deeper meaning you give to the title line. Musically, the bass line and that little tick-tocking low arp work really well together. Yeah, the synths and guitar treatments are very 90s prog, aren't they? Lovely guitar counter melody line latterly too. And it would all just have fallen apart without the crucial shaker!

Lots of fun to listen to.

Ohhh, that chorus is really cool! Very nice sounds to this, 80s synths and prog goodness. And such a juicy lead guitar, goddamn.

Damn, I’m a gonna then! Oo a Fawm egg shaker! Music is well layered! Have to listen carefully pull all of the bits out! Worth it though! Nice.

soy-milk latte is enough to make me pick up my foil and quietly remove the button... What a good prog sound. ANd your voice remains a lethal instrument in it's own right. (And you don't need me to tell you how good your production values as always are, do you? Right then.) (Incidentally we're at this moment in the throes of a major industrial collapse disaster brought to us by those soy-latte lads and ladsies). Good stuff! Stick it to them! (waves foil)

This is cool. It has a sort of retro feeling. I can imagine Heaven 17 doing this

Hey, I'm drinking an OATmilk latte at my desk, thank you very much. Good thing this song isn't about me (phew). Love the core line "Everything not saved will be lost" and how you've built around it. I love how every 1-2 lines there's some kind of new development, some new instrumentation or musical line. It really adds to a chaotic feel that fits with the theme.

that egg shaker is putting in some work! This sounds so good and well produced. Always love it when you do prog. Excellent guitar work.

Love the ooo eee ahhh synth sounding backdrop and the pressing rhythm. Cool cord progression. Timely story to tell.

I love this, very enjoyable. Guitars are smoking!! So many songs are written now about this, but this excel for sure!
