Stay Down

A track off the EgoZ debut album, thrown on the table to everybody. You should see the smile on our faces.

Not sure if anybody gets what this song is talking about. Much to my amusement. But this song has been written in an awful time, where it felt right.

With The Band - The Ramadan Edition

Here comes Ramadan. No one's eating or drinking for quite a while in the day.



No concerts of any kind. Not much rehearsals, absolutely nothing. It is the best thing for our sake at this very moment. The recording process is becoming stressful, and I personally think that's just what we've needed. We're lazy asses. Every single one of us..

Most of the close people/fans to the band are wondering how an Egoz album would sound like. And I think this is the one common thing we have in the band. On some level, we all know how this album will sound like. But there's leaning towards a million sounds in each one's head. We would like to capture, take us before the fans, by surprise.

Apparently, it will somehow lean towards a melancholic atmosphere. A factor I/we have never known how to escape. I will not say I am not satisfied. For I am. If this is who we are then this is who we are.

From the view ahead from here, it's a very colored one. It includes colors I don't know yet. The ones I am mostly colourblind to. If you're a songwriter, you will know what it is to face the truth when you come out of the speakers to your ears, rather than play your song yourself.

It's a quite a short time, but a long way from here. A gigantic part of me does not care about anything but the landing of this album. Even if people had to listen to it only once, it will matter..

Seriousness ..

Death is the permanent termination of the biological functions that define a living organism. It refers to both a particular event and to the condition that results thereby. The true nature of the latter has for millennia been a central concern of the world's religious traditions and of philosophical enquiry. Many religions maintain a belief in either some kind of afterlife or rebirth. The effect of physical death on any possible mind or soul remains for many an open question. Within the scientific community, death is frequently associated with a belief in materialism and the complete ending of mind or consciousness. Yet despite the common notion that this is a scientific viewpoint, consciousness itself has yet to be fully understood in science and psychology, and any view about the existence or non-existence of consciousness after death remains a speculative belief.
