I was trying to write a simple 3 minute pop rock song. Ended up with a bluesy sounding acoustic intro, synthy lead guitar and an 80's style Billy Idol tune
Look at me, look at you
Look at everything we do
We are not so far apart
Broken truce, Broken rules
Broken everything like fools
We were born to lose
Why can't I believe in you?
What is the absolute truth?
I've got to get away
What is the point in faith?
Stolen kisses stole my heart
Stole my soul right from the start
At the crossroads I was lost
Made a promise, made a deal
Made a pact we never sealed
We were born to fail
Why can't I believe in you?
What is the absolute truth?
I've got to get away
What is the point in faith?
Why can't I believe in you?
What is the absolute truth?
I've got to get away
What is the point in faith?

Wow! When this kicks in, it really kicks in! Rock to the extreme!
I like the lyrics, love the vocals, and the restrained guitar was a nice choice in the main bits. When the guitar is unleashed, it's even more effective than it would've been. Great solo.
I really liked this. :)

There are too many simple 3 minute pop rock song so I love your approach on Billy Idol. What a cool intro. The chorus is catchy and I love the sounds. One of my favourite songs from you because its a bit different but still you.
How do you mix the rhythm guitars so punchy? Plenty compression? Super tight playing and badass amps?

I love it when we shoot for one thing and end up creating something awesome but far from the mark! This is deffo a Billy idol vibing track, chugging power chords, snappy snare and catchy mega chorus. Another great track Matt!!

Vox are amazing on this. Absolutely great sound and performance! Chorus is a monster, and super catchy 80’s rock vibes.

Interesting intro.... bam! Staight to the truth. Love it
Very clean vocals. Nice solo.
Faith is the key to peace; faith in that "whatever" in you that creates. The rest is bs lol
