Paradise Lost Track By Track
Far Gone – Fast and punchy opener to the EP, gets straight to the point with a gnarly riff and lyrics depicting a relationship struggling through mental health issues. Expect a big chorus and plenty of gang vocals. Far Gone can be streamed here
In The Back Of My Room – Catchiest song on the EP, big opening riff reminiscent of 90s emo and a nice drop on the chorus. Lyrical themes again include a relationship but rather a feeling of positivity and moving forward compared to the bitter angst of Far Gone. The video for In The Back Of My Room is below
Mast – The EP slows to an experimental close with this song. Starting very quietly building to a powerful climax this song has a dark feel with lyrics relating to mental health and leaving behind someone the writer once cared about.
