Lyrically: In the final track of the album, I share my perspective on the importance of being attentive to external signs that indicate the need for a change in order to achieve inner well-being. I encourage people to step out of their comfort zones, face challenges, and make changes in their behaviour and outlook on life in order to regain inner peace.
Musically: "Brave the Tempest," the album's final track! Our very first ballad, well, almost! Haha! No, not really, but there is still a slower-paced refrain, tinged with melancholy, where hope and determination linger. This song encourages us to rise up and confront life with a determined attitude. I quickly got to the refrain to explain why, in my opinion, it's our ballad, but in reality, the song is very energetic and mainly composed of catchy riffs.
This song was the shortest one we had, and it was among the three songs that had been sleeping in our repertoire for a few years. That's precisely why we hadn't used it yet. It was short, and it seemed like something was missing. By reworking it, we finally crafted an epic finale, where Johnny and Willy exchange guitar melodies that evoke in the listener, at least in me, an inner strength that encourages self-improvement and fulfilment in life.
It's with this feeling that we hope the listener returns from this spiritual journey named "All To Dominate"!
lyrics
If the wind whistles loud enough
For you to hear it
Listen to what it has to say
It's been too long you’ve been there
Constantly beat the air
It is now time to act in another way
It whistles for a reason
Give it your attention
You can't always flee
If the gusts knock on your door, open it
Messy it's gonna be
But a wind of change is needed
A storms’ rising eye
The worm you are must die
Brave the tempest
Behave like a man
Bold and fearless
Stop complaining in your comfort zone
It’s time for you to leave your throne
Throw caution to the winds
Enter the turmoil, defy the hurricane
Don't let fear spoil your life into pain
A storms’ rising eye
The worm you are must die
Brave the tempest
Behave like a man
Bold and fearless
As long as it’s in you, there will be a riot
It will never be calm and quiet
Shed light on this part of your life
And change the way you act
It will be a start for ending this strife
And one day the sun will be back
(solo Willy)
(solo Johnny)
