Come a long way, come a long way
Come a long way
Not to work it out
As cold comfort
wraps around you in the dark
Come a long way

Come a long way
not to ask the question that's been on your lips all the way
Spit it out
The words come out, yeah
it's already
not as heavy as before
Come a long way
Come a long way
Come a long way

Come a long way
Just to say
Doesn't matter when it mattered yesterday
And tomorrow ain't too far
Come a long way
From small beginnings
Come a long way

From small beginnings
Come big ending

Apparently you don't know your Fink from your Elbow.

This is where listening to RP on a top-end system makes a huge difference. In other instances I would have found such a song repetitive like everyone else, but there is something in the tension created by the bass and the beat acceleration that definitely takes off at very unexpected moments in the song and give it all its sense, I guess most earplugs can't render that effect. Great tune.

as long as there's a lot of songs that I can enjoy without a 'top end system', I'm not going to invest thousands of euros in one just to maybe enjoy this song.
 
Invest 30-45 Euros in a good pair of wireless headphones and listen to RP's higher quality music streams.  You'll hear the difference immediately.

Love this song and the way it builds. I used to travel internationally a lot for work and it became a habit to always play this song as a plane came in to land, so that it was building up to the fast instrumental section as we approached the runway. Became a bit of an obsession. Can't explain why other than superstition, but always believed things would end well as long as this song was playing as we touched down.

Such a nice sound, just wish it got louder and faster and louder and faster and louder and thrashed its way into to a crescendo of even more raw crashing noise ......

This is extremely powerful. Meditating to this you almost lose your mind which is a good albeit scary thing.

Thanks Fink

Lots of negative comments for this one but I gotta say I kinda like it.
He and Radical Face seem to be cut from the same cloth.

"Ceasingly repetitive"?  Good band name.

I don't find this repetitive as much as building and standing still at the same time.  love it.
