Memories are a funny thing. Can we ever really be sure things unfold as we perceive them? Did what I think happened really happen?

‘After All’ blends the rich, textured sounds of Indie and Folk Rock to create a rich auditory landscape. The arrangement mirrors the vivid sensory experiences described in the lyrics, from feeling moss beneath your toes to smelling fragrant floral blooms. The music is designed to envelop the listener in these detailed, immersive scenes.

At the heart of the song lies the poignant hook: “What you did / You think you did / But you never did at all,” capturing the central theme of the disconnect between perception and reality. Through introspective lyrics and a lush arrangement, ‘After All’ invites listeners to explore the complexities of actions, outcomes, and the passage of time.

Lyrics

Walk through glowing golden sun
Splintered by the rain
Spoke in subtle phrases
Feel the moss beneath your toes
Leaves of grass and stone
Never to know, stranger

Statues will crumble and fall
Mountain from a molehill after all
Water-well debit withdrawal
Faucet filling fishbowl after all

Didn’t want the time and place
One or the other gladly
Didn’t think those thoughts in space
Thought thinkers think that sadly

What you did
You think you did
But you never did at all
After all

Hear the gentle blowing breeze
Whistling through the trees
Manner of means: being
Smell the fragrant floral booms
Brilliant bouquet blooms
Cognitive perfume, drifting

Statues will crumble and fall
Mountain from a molehill after all
Water-well debit withdrawal
Faucet filling fishbowl after all

Didn’t want the time and place
One or the other gladly
Didn’t think those thoughts in space
Thought thinkers think that sadly
What you did
You think you did
But you never did at all
After all

Statues will crumble and fall
Mountain from a molehill after all
Water-well debit withdrawal
Faucet filling fishbowl after all

Didn’t want the time and place
One or the other gladly
Didn’t think those thoughts in space
Thought thinkers think that sadly
What you did
You think you did
But you never did at all
After all
