    We started writing Monument after playing around with a software that can stretch short bits of music into billions of years of sound. It made total sense to me that Max wanted to explore this floating feeling and mediation in the video...

      Hey, I just want to say good job, and that the black and white structure reminded me of a book written by Dean Koontz, Brother Odd, where there is a monster that constantly changes shape, beautiful and scary at the same time, the monster turns out to be an expression of vanity, arrogance and insanity.
      good music, good voice and good video, thx for your excelent work over the years.

      **If I may provide a deeper state of comprehension for your losses so it aids your negative state of being for your overall better understanding. These things as painful as they all were, were for a reason, For a deeper reason for you to see things in a clearer light. Pain has a way of weeding out other distractions and if all these things have happened back to back then this is for a extreme better outcome. The Devine or super conscious, higher self whatever you view as a god force knows you at your greatest extents and your lowest lows. * it sends challenges into our lives disguised as problem for us to ultimately learn some fundamental lesson from so we can with this lesson grow beyond what we see currently see ourselves as for the benefit of all who can understand that the extreme of these challenges, your being VERY extreme are sent that way because it knows your full potential of what your strengths can under go on a personal level. In other words, if your personal strength was poor you would receive a small amount of discomfort. But if the opposite then you receive a great deal of pain. **You are stronger then you can EVER consciously comprehend. You need to see this.

I cried uncontrollably when I heard this song.This is a death song. An end of life song. I hope that it's playing in my head in my final moment. I want my two sons to know that they are my monument. Make a space
    For my body.
    Dig a hole.
    Push the sides apart.
    This is what
    I'm controlling.
    It's a moat
    The inside that I carve.
    This will be my monument
    This will be a beacon when I'm gone
    Gone, gone
    When I'm gone
    Gone, gone
    When I'm gone
    So that when the moment comes,
    I can say I did it all with love
    Love, love
    All with love
    Love, love
    All with love
    Make a cast
    Of my body.
    Pull back out,
    So that I can see.
    Let go of
    How you knew me.
    Let go of
    What I used to be.
    I will let this monument
    Represent a moment of my life
    Life, life
    Of my life
    Life, life
    Of my life
    I will let this monument
    Represent a moment of my life
    Life, life
    Of my life
    Life, life
    Of my life
    Make a cast
    Of my body.
    Pull back out,
    So that I can see.
    Let go of
    How you knew me.
    Let go of
    What I used to be.

      OMG I felt that. The truth, I believe, is you could not have truly empathized with him on his trip to the unknown, because you'll only know it when you make it yourself. But if he felt your love before passing, you gave him all you could, and to him that would have been enough.Love was the only and best thing you could give, and you gave it. You did enough, honey.😗😗💓💓❤

      We know that the brain makes us feel happy when we are dieing, the "Heaven" feeling many that return have. While it seems very mean to say this, you shouldn't focus on the last days of his life, but the many years shared. The love doesn't go anywhere.

    I know when you first listen this song you don't feel that it's right (coz you haven't listened to something like this ever before) but then after one or two repeats, this is kinda crazy that this song goes deep into your soul subconsciously. You are stuck with this song forever and then you start to realize that what meaning it has. Beautiful depiction of life. No matter what are you doing whether sleeping or staying awake doing your job this monument 🏛 keeps playing in your head and soul. I know this is something I can't explain but this is happening to me ever since I discovered it. I want this song to be, "when I'm gone" song for me.

    It's amazing what one can do with PLC synthesisers, Korgi Organs and Beat Box Electro Drum banks. All this gear was mothballed back in the late 80's. What goes around eventually comes around, age has excluded me from acceptance but I always love to hear artist's keeping the dream alive. Poetry, the rhythm of the body and sweet sounds are what it's all about. It's timeless. Cheers.

    Lyrics
    Make a space
    For my body
    Dead or whole
    Push this side apart
    This is what I'm controlling
    It's a mold, the inside that I cart
    This will be my monument
    This will be a beacon when I'm gone gone gone
    When I'm gone gone gone
    When I'm gone
    Soon when that moment comes,
    I can say I did it all with love love love
    All with love love love
    All with love
    Make a cast of my body
    Pull back out,
    So that I can see
    Make a world
    Are you ruling?
    Make a world
    That I used to be
    I will let this monument
    Represent a moment of my life life life
    Of my life life life
    Of my life
    I will let this monument
    Represent a moment of my life life life
    Of my life life life
    Of my life
    Make a cast of my body
    Pull back out,
    So that I can see
    Make a world
    Are you ruling?
    Make a world
    That I used to be
