AS THE BLACK RAIN FALLS IT BURNS AS IT SOAKS THE FLESH LEAVING SCARS, ON ALL IT TOUCHES SO MANY SOULS ALREADY TAKEN
WANDERING THE EARTH, LIKE IN A DREAM HEARING ALL THEIR SCREAMS THERE’S NO RETURN FOR THE LOST THEIR SOULS WAS THE COST
BLACK RAIN HAS FALLEN
WASHED AWAY THE PAST WILL THESE SCARS LAST? AFTER THE RAIN HAS FALLEN?
CONCEALED IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE BY THE ARROGANT AND RIGHTCHESNESS WILL ANY MORE DAYS COME? AS THE RAIN WASHES AWAY THE SUN
THERE WAS A BRIGHT LIGHT
A FLASH SO BRIGHT THEN TOTAL DARKNESS AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUN?
FLESH STRIPPED FROM THE BODY BURNED BEYOND BELIEF NOT A SOUL WAS SAFE DEATH THE ONLY RELEASE
THE LIGHT OF SO MANY LIVES WE NEED IT TO SHINE SO BRIGHT TO KEEP THE CLOUDS AT BAY SO THE BLAC

Ah!!
So how are we all,well I trust?
Apology for taking SOOOO long to get here,have been under the weather for some time.Tsk!
Anyways,very pro sound you guys are getting.
Excellent production and musicianship.
Vocals,both Shyonen and Brian are top damn notch.
All round,this is a CLASS song.strong,powerful,emotional.
AND....
EPIC!!!
I do love epic pieces.
This feels grand,expansive,as though it shoul have a movie running with it....
Mmm,yes,this is cinematic,perhaps there is one to come?
Yes,guys,this is CLASS.
Powerful stuff.

Excellent track.......very well arranged and executed. Brian does an excellent job with the vox.....lots of emotion in his performance. The bass lines are very melodic and filling. I really like the perfect mix of acoustic guitar and synths.......the production is SUPER!! GREAT TRACK!!

guys i just wrote a book length review for this very dramatic and emotional song which touched me deeply.. but i lost it all to the mix glitch.. always copy what you wrote before pressing "submit".. sorry i can't write it again but i really was moved by the strong performances
and poignant yet dramatic music.. cheers..
09/14/08 12:11:01AM @loren:
this is the one i heard at soundclick. it's a very moving song filled with imagery. great job guys!!!
09/13/08 01:14:13PM @tom-hoelle:
Great tune here guys! Excellent performances all around, but I really found myself getting pulled in by the enthusiasm of the lead vocals! Nice job!
09/13/08 06:19:38AM @gregc:
Great works all. I'm really digging the background music and the opening acoustic guitar..
Have you ever thought of remaking this into a rock track?
Just had this thought as I was listening early this a.m.
I really like this track!
09/12/08 05:31:50PM @mike-kohlgraf:

Very Thankful to margot and Selftort. this song is about Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Do you know these cities? we EMW made this music for peace and we don't love violence.

Beautiful intro...The title attracted me to come for a listen...A very emotional performance, nice voice..:-)Great lyrics...A lovely collab congrats to all of you...:-)Like the "heartbeat" section...This is powerful to say the least and leaves shivers....
Peace n love Mags
09/11/08 09:36:52PM @self-tort:
Well there's a shock for me. I saw this new band EMW and decided to have a listen. The intro sounded familiar and then I realised it was Shyonen and Don in their East Meets West guise and it's a track I appear on. Senational work Shy. And Don's bass is sounding fantastic and gives that added depth to the track. Thanks for letting me be part of this. Love you guys
Cheers

This is a great listen fellows! Long time no see or hear.....I really like the dynamic buildup and pull back in this production. Shy your vocal sounds good as ever and Don the bass has great presence with that big bottom. Last but not least, Brian great vox and I'm thinking that's you on that fine acoustic guitar also. Well done guys!
