Like You've Just Been Born - Captain Ahab and the Truth Serum

Alter Ego Fest...

Captain Ahab and the Truth Serum present you with their first track... "Like You've Just Been Born"

As the old fable went, Captain Ahab spent many years on the high seas searching high and low for the beast that was said to lurk far below the waters surface, but what was he really trying to prove, or was he hiding from something dark and unknown within himself. Presented with a serum, said to possess the power to reveal inner secrets by an old hag, would he be brave enough to try some... or did he even give a shit!

Chip away at the surface
Strip away the facade
Forget everything that you know
Every thought that you have
You were looking for monsters
When there was nothing to see

Lie down for a moment
Let the process begin
Take away your safety net
Let the outside in
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born

Take off the mask your wearing
Take off the disguise
Start telling the truth for a change
Stop telling the lies
You've been having nightmares
Now they won't leave you be

Lie down for a moment
Let the process begin
Take away your safety net
Let the outside in
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born

Solo

Lie down for a moment
Let the process begin
Take away your safety net
Let the outside in
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born
Like you've just been born

Wow!! I'm hoping Capt A and the Truth Serum will dig up some more tracks. This is awesome guitar work with a fantastically powerful sound and rhythm going on there. Really grabbed me right from the off, gave me a good shaking and didn't let go. An absolute belter.

The Captain must have had a whale of a time making this track........

Very cool. Grooving along to this... the story kinda washed over me, but the vibe it generates is fabulous. Love those guitars. And the vocal is just perfect on top of it.

This is turning out to be a great fest. And this is a fantastic contribution. I love the distorted vocal and the beefy, phased guitar sound. It's a big and muscular soundscape. That slightly arabic-scale guitar solo part is brilliant too. What a great band. And it really does feel like you stepped outside of yourself on this. Love it!
