John had some lyrics, and this popped out last night. Guitar and bass tones are courtesy of the new IK Tonex pedal. Although I'm still figuring things out, it is a very cool piece of kit.

Lurker

Words, words, words, ....

Every now and then I catch a scent
That takes my mind on a trip
Through impressions
Sensations
Vague remembrances
That make me wonder

How much of my life do I really know
How much is hidden in the undertow
Am I who I think I am
Or am I steered by a hidden hand

I know these thoughts come from my mind
But I can't trace a place or time
No person
Just emotion
Surging up from
Deep below

How much of my life do I really know
How much is hidden in the undertow
Am I who I think I am
Or am I steered by a hidden hand

A glimpse of a passing shadow
A whisper on the edge of a dream
Conjuring images
Of unfamiliar memories

How much of my life do I really know
How much is hidden in the undertow
Am I who I think I am
Or am I steered by a hidden hand

Are these collective memories
Or Jungian fantasies
Echoes of
Primal instinct
Of ancestors
Trying to survive

How much of my life do I really know
How much is hidden in the undertow
Am I who I think I am
Or am I steered by a hidden hand

How much of my life do I really know
How much is hidden in the undertow
Am I who I think I am
Or am I steered by a hidden hand

for a song with some deep stuff lyrics this thing rocks a major amount... it's like a dump truck came into my yard and left about 18 cube of crushed rock (which made me very happy btw, because I love crushed rocks)...maybe it's that fuzzy distorted guitar crunch that reminds me of crushed rocks... either way this thing smokes...
the vocals are controlled greatness... I wonder though what you could do if you really tried... it sounds way too easy to me! 

Every time I hear Blooby or Blooby and Lurker songs... they all hit the spot where I want a repeat!  no exception here.

Nice 60's style rocker. Insightful lyrics, great tones and performance.
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.

Just a wonderful rock song, guys! The chorus is out of this world, I'm humming it the rest of the day!

Enjoyable listening!

I dig this classic sound and the cool robbo tom hits in the chorus caught my attention (haha, the little things we hear that stand out). Blooby's guitar playing is top notch and fits well with the changing from rhythm to riffing throughout the song. A very tasty lead solo! I like the introspective words and Lurker's vocals are right on the money. I enjoyed the listen!

One thing I would like to point out is you write very "singable" music. Great changes, tones, textures and various wizardry. And then someone steps in and adds badass vocals is just icing on the cake because it makes it listenable too.

Well done guys, it's a really tough thing to be musically cohesive.
