lyrics
in ten thousand days, still i can't convey
the injustice that befell you
you were getting back, you were right on track
and it still faded out from view
i don't think there's a point worth making
to ask how it ended up askew
cause no one plans to be cut off a third of the way through
in the distant past, come and gone so fast
in a way, you were made to change
having been recast, now you'd must outlast
an albatross callously arranged
with all hopes for the best considered
most expected you were rigged to lose
but no one thought you'd be cut off a third of the way through
but the world goes and forgets
time erodes the thought of you
seems your memory falls on me
we can't fix all our mistakes
not for lack of trying to
fortunes come unguaranteed
you did what you could, it was what you should
you endeavored to keep your vow
and it's so unfair i have to declare
this the only way i know how
there's a semblance that you had failed
what an unjustifiable view
cause who could plan to be cut off a third of the way through
but the world turns and forgets
time erodes the thought of you
still your memory falls on me
i can't fix all my mistakes
even if i wanted to
there is no such guarantee
you gave your best
got that much closer
but now it's over
you weren't finished, far from it
how could they think they've the right
to cut you off the way they did?
that betrayal none will admit
show is over, cut the lights
what a life you should have lived
the injustice that befell you
you were getting back, you were right on track
and it still faded out from view
i don't think there's a point worth making
to ask how it ended up askew
cause no one plans to be cut off a third of the way through
in the distant past, come and gone so fast
in a way, you were made to change
having been recast, now you'd must outlast
an albatross callously arranged
with all hopes for the best considered
most expected you were rigged to lose
but no one thought you'd be cut off a third of the way through
but the world goes and forgets
time erodes the thought of you
seems your memory falls on me
we can't fix all our mistakes
not for lack of trying to
fortunes come unguaranteed
you did what you could, it was what you should
you endeavored to keep your vow
and it's so unfair i have to declare
this the only way i know how
there's a semblance that you had failed
what an unjustifiable view
cause who could plan to be cut off a third of the way through
but the world turns and forgets
time erodes the thought of you
still your memory falls on me
i can't fix all my mistakes
even if i wanted to
there is no such guarantee
you gave your best
got that much closer
but now it's over
you weren't finished, far from it
how could they think they've the right
to cut you off the way they did?
that betrayal none will admit
show is over, cut the lights
what a life you should have lived

Chipthrash doesn't get better than this, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a full-length chiptune LP that goes as hard for as long. Killer from front to back.

AFTER THE LIGHTS FAILED
by Curious QuailCurious Quail's second full-length LP was my favorite release of 2014. Thoughtful indie rock with orchestral and chiptune elements sprinkled throughout.

If you're like me and constantly crave new, quality drum and bass that just doesn't seem to come around as often as it used to, you'll enjoy this brief journey from start to finish.
