After The Bomb - Redux 2025 (89 Seconds To Midnight)

In 2018, I did a collaboration with an artist (Clive Hawkins) after one of his tracks inspired me to write lyrics over his haunting instrumental 'After the Bomb'. Fast-forward to 2025, I am currently working with accomplished keyboard player and Prog Rock enthusiast https://audius.co/deezee42 (Dave Zeitlin), to create an Ethno-Prog album 'Beyond the Veiled Horizon'. So when I recently re-heard the old collaboration I wondered if Dave's keyboard wizardry could add a whole new dimension to the lyrics. The message in the lyrics has perhaps has even more urgency in 2025. Using Clive's original harmonic rhythm that inspired the melody, that inspired the lyrics, I basically gave Dave a blank slate to see what he could come up with as parts. As usual he delivered some amazing ideas and playing and this left me re-assembling this Redux version for 2025.
