With shoegazer tones from former ModwheelMood member Pelle Hillstrom, and gritty guitar and 80’s synth work from the Hard rock influenced “viking” Neal Tiemann (David Cook), Sweden’s own Kris Perrson’s indie/hip-hop drum style was the last missing piece. “I feel like we come from different genres, but as a unit we are completely on the same page stylistically.” says Perrson. “It is a great time in the industry for music, and I’m confident that what we are about to is going to turn some heads.” The band is well on its way to record their debut album, and over the next year, perform and create a record at the bar line they feel the band deserves, while Lifehouse continues its break. “We have about 40 songs in the tank, and can’t wait to whittle them down to a great record” says Soderberg. " It’s all about having fun and enjoying the process. That’s what this is all about"
Tidal Wave
Komox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it goodbye? Should I hold my breath?
You're a tidal wave
You're a tidal wave
Slow the sound of silence gets louder each day
I stay some motion no matter the words you say
You're a tidal wave
No one else can see
No matter what they say
Your current carries me
To the ocean floor
A thousand meters deep
You're a tidal wave
Washing over me
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do I ever? Do I ever cross your mind?
You're a tidal wave
You're a tidal wave
(Washing over me)
You're a tidal wave
No one else can see
No matter what they say
Your current carries me
To the ocean floor
A thousand meters deep
You're a tidal wave
Washing over me
Carry me so far away to somewhere we can be together
I would spend the rest of my days in your tidal wave forever
Carry me so far away to somewhere we can be together
I would spend the rest of my days in your tidal wave forever
Carry me so far away to somewhere we can be together
I would spend the rest of my days in your tidal wave forever, forever, forever
