‘We all live in the shadows of the monoliths…’
That’s how the lyrics begin…
I know I said summer break, but when the muse hits you, you just have to listen and follow your instincts. I have always been fascinated by the concept of Monoliths.
What do they stand for?
What do they represent?
Why are they here on earth?
Form the early days of ‘A Space Odyssey 2001’ from master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, I was intrigued as a kid watching that movie, to suddenly having monoliths show up all around the world in 2020 during the pandemic. I wanted to cover that topic musically. So, I have been working on a story about monoliths. At first, it started out as a ‘story song,’ something to play in the background while the GEIST story is being told. And then, well it happened to turn into a real song for the ‘Book of Light’ album.
I will post more updates about this as I go long…
