    One of the greatest songs of the decade - don't worry if it is criminally ignored it still EXISTS. Good luck COG x

    I love Flynn’s emotional progressions , not to mention his great introspections
    about navigating through life’s ups & downs , I really relate to his yearning for a better life to come 😘

    Saw COG play last night and had to revisit this song. It's a crime that they never continued to make music. This was the perfect evolution of COG into a more modern sound and its mindblowing.

      Couldn't agree more! Having said that if COG had come back and released more songs like The Middle I'd be loving life but they revisited 2 old songs after and nothing more from either band. Just need something new 👏

    LYRICS of the last part of the song:
    I’ve been making my way to the finish line
    Like a hurricane racing to arrive
    I’ve been moving on
    Got a ticket home
    And what I leave behind
    I’ll just let it go
    I’ve been making my way
    To the finish line
    And it drips me on
    If I’m out of time
    I’ve been moving on, and I’m coming home
    Cause I realised what I didn’t know
    I’ve been making my way
    TOGETHER WE CAN TRANSCRIBE THE WHOLE SONG!!

    LYRICS: (Suggestions appreciated!)
    Oh well, I always looked ahead rather than behind me
    I didn't understand nothing ever lasts me
    But I'm changing the tune and that's given me a new plan
    I'm back at the start again once upon a time and...
    I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far
    Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far
    Yes I was walking with an off beat point of view
    And even Ravi Shankar knows it's true
    That I have found new life
    You see it's feeling that a change has come for free
    Rather like an old friend calling me
    Yes I have found new life
    Up and away, up and home
    Feeling I've arrived
    Up and away, up and home
    Wave my past goodbye
    How
    (did you get to tomorrow)
    (did you get there tomorrow)
    How
    (did you get to tomorrow)
    Up and away, up and home
    Feeling I've arrived
    Up and away, up and home
    Wave my past goodbye
    I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far
    Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far
    I never stopped to look at what it took
    (just to get this far
    )
    I never stopped to look at what it took
    (just to get this far
    )
    Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far
    Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took
    (did you get to tomorrow)
    Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took
    (did you get there)
    Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far
    (did you get to tomorrow)
    -
    Ooh, I've arrived, move on.
    Wave my past goodbye, so long
    Ooh, I've arrived
    Wave my past goodbye...
    ** background line, can't make it out **
    I've been making my way to the finish line
    Like a hurricane racing to arrive
    I've been moving on, got a ticket home
    And what I leave behind, I'll just let it go
    I've been making my way to the finish line
    And it trips me up if I'm outta time
    I've been moving on and I'll do it whole
    'Cause I've realised what I didn't know
    I've been making my way...

      First of all... Many thanx for your version / attempt of lyrics. so far it sounds great
      Im not a native english speaker, so it is probably "bowsheet", but I believe that missing parts could go somehow like this:
      Yes I was walking without a big (or "peak") point of view
      (or maybe "a weak point of youth")
      And even had to change God knows its true
      These are just suggestions, so It could help.

    HOW can anyone not like this?

    •  5 років тому +1

      apparently, such beings do exist (nature has proven many times it has a rather skewed sense of humor) and i’m really curious about their reasons for investing the time and effort to express their dislike, even if all it’s taken was a single down-vote click. if one engages enough to let the world know they don’t like, i’d expect the dislike to be quite prominent. but still, in the end ‘de gustibus non disputandum est’…

    •  4 роки тому +5

      in my humble opinion, ‘incredible’ is a massive verbal understatement (unless followed by multiple exclamation marks :) ). what Flynn and Luke, together with Troy here, have been producing across the years-also as C.O.G.-in terms of music, lyrics, sincerity, is-in my world-the top-most league of TOOL. not too many bands or musicians there.
