For the benefit of the new listeners; Sikth were a huge part of many peoples lives down in Hertfordshire in the early 00s. Mikee used to organise gigs in Watford and was a part of a huge scene there. N.A.M. became the default weekend activity for many kids in those days. Mikee would pull up in a little car wearing an army jacket smelling like he might be smoking something and would send out little membership cards and make newsletters. Bands like Violent Delight and Enter Shikari owe a lot to the scene that Mikee helped stimulate. These guys are for real and are true artists, just one listen to the last track on the debut will tell you something about the vision and concepts that were going on. I remember seeing Sikth at the Watford Rugby Club in 2001 when they had to leave early to go to a party. I remember them playing the Pioneer club and being blown away. Something special was happening in the air at that time. The album wasn't out yet and I'd got hold of some masters of Hold My Finger from a studio. Dan gave me If You Weren't So Perfect and said 'if you leak this I'll break your legs'. Rocksound put Such the Fool on a cover disc in 2002 and I played it to DEATH. I always remember being a little disappointed that the 'CHUG...CHUG....CHUG' at the end had the second guitar removed from it in the album version and I still hear it there now. Recording in the same studio as them in 2003 and even though I was a young kid and they must have thought it fucking ludicrous that a band such as the one I was in was getting any sort of notoriety I look back now very fondly at those times. Sikth deserved so much so more than opening for Spineshank at the Astoria. I remember watching them playing Download from behind the stage the same year we did and being staggered that people weren't more into it. This was such progressive music in so many ways. I couldn't claim I knew any of them personally but can vouch from any conversations I had with any of them, probably only 9-10 in total, they were always humble and bloody nice guys. My favourite part in 2003, when the debut had just come out, was the middle bit of track 7, Wait for Something Wild. I remember telling Dan and he said 'wow, me too'. It's rare that a metal band give you goosebumps in the same way Floyd or Radiohead do. Listening to that album now is still amazing. I felt well happy to stand in the same kitchen talking rubbish in the studio to them, especially Dan who is a borderline genius in production now. If he could produce the prog stuff I do now I'd be in Heaven! Pin even turned up to my bands last ever gig. He even put a smile on, and although it was incidental he was there it was nice to see the guy. It's great to hear them again. Excellent memories and fucking fantastic times. I really hope they continue to get the recognition they deserve because to me Sikth are peerless. I know this sounds like hyperbole but they burned so fucking brightly, almost too brightly for a brief period, and because of that intensity and magic I'm not sure any British band has ever made a debut as great as theirs. It's not like the second album was shabby either (I mean, it was excellent really!) but it wasn't as coherent and it was from a band being fucked up by the industry. It's better late than never and I hope a new generation of music fans, not just metal fans, open their minds by going back to the old stuff too and appreciate it like so many of us do. Basically, thanks Sikth.
+vdtom Thank you so much for sharing this. I was late to the party, started listening to Sikth around 2008 i think it was. So glad they're back and that there's a chance I can see them live again.
+kumquatmagoo Mmm, lots of times spent like that in my youth! Listening to the outro riff in Such the Fool with a buddy after smoking all night and playing it over and over again laughing like maniacs at how good it was. The moment I smoked a spliff in the dark and listened to the spoken word track at the end of the debut and just fucking 'got it'. Rediscovering the second album and hearing When the Moment's Gone's outro riff in a new light... And you know what? I'm 30 now and sober and still love it just as much as I did then. Magical band. While Fony were getting endless plays on Kerrang! TV, the Kennedy Soundtrack 'Killing Music' (in so many ways), even Vacant Stare got a massive buzz and Sikth just... didn't.
+Stavros MG Thanks man, those were awesome days! I wonder if youngsters nowadays still get that incredible excitement we got through those gigs! I will look back at watching the Bombjacks, Defenestration and Raging Speedhorn with great fondness. Sitting outside while King Prawn played drinking disgusting cider and making jokes about Ghymp and other local luminaries... Ah, good times.
I know one of the vocalists is a VA in the game, from YT commentators - is this song present in the game? My favorite songs of theirs are Vivid and The Moon's Been Gone For Hours - their best video is for How May I Help You.
Meshugga is the real dads, tho nit coining the term other than explaining dj_ dj_dj_... Fredrik Thordendal, lead guitarist of Swedish band Meshuggah, is considered the originator of the djent technique.[3] However, the band did not coin the term itself; the djent scene developed from an online community of bedroom musicians, including Misha Mansoor, whose success with Periphery brought djent "from the virtual world into the real one."[3] In a 2018 interview by Rauta, Meshuggah guitarist Mårten Hagström jokingly apologized for the band's role in creating the djent genre. On how the name "djent" originated he explained, "It was our lead guitar player, Fredrik, being drunk back in the day, talking to one of our old-school fans, trying to explain what type of guitar tone we were always trying to get, and he was desperately trying to say: 'We want that 'dj-' 'dj-,' 'dj-,' 'dj-.' And that guy was, like, 'What's he saying? Is that a Swedish word? Must be. Sounds like dj_, maybe 'djent'? Maybe something like that."
Kinda amazing, in my mind at least, sikth were a big influence on the current "djent" stuff. And this just blows all of that out of the water. I'm now on my 4th listen of the song in a row and it's only getting better!
This was a band made to spite-but-inspire the world, and is a lot better than what The World feeds its inhabitants... youre not wrong, but for the wrong reasons! SikTh was the shīT and im sick over Man's loss of them
feeling so sikth all over again..i know im kinda late bt.thank you so much for the reunion,the world needs to know who started it all...and id swear by that.
Man, Mikee's scream at 1:55... that instantly recalls so much nostalgia from years of listening to SikTh!! This band was a huge chunk of my adolescence.
I haven't listened to Sikth in maybe a year or more. Today I was just like "man I haven't listened to them in a while" and they fucking have new music. I love it.
+Bakutakamine Was sitting here in a sikth shirt and saw it posted on reddit - fucking pissed my knickers man haha, hadn't thought to check them out on youtube cos they're already in my itunes most played.
they've no plans by the look of it. best gig I ever went to was the limelight gig. I've messaged them a few time to ask about belfast dates but never got a response
My god. Considering their old stuff and the standard they set for themselves I couldn't believe they'd release something near as good considering this is 10 years later. But I was amazed. The shit is groovy and the chorus is beautiful!
there aren't enough words to explain how excited I've been this last 6-8 months since they announced they're EP - that turned into a mini album... then this arrived. Goosebumps... couldn't have hoped for anything better. blows everything out of the water.
YES! Sikth are back! I saw them when i was a little teenage metalhead in southampton. Blew my mind and I've listened to the albums consistently ever since and showed people all around the world! Dan Foord even came to my music school when i went to uni for a masterclass! (I was a student of music performance on drums) nothing has ever compared.
I worked at a performing arts summer camp in upstate New York sharing your guys music with young prospective metalheads, and now I live in Colorado Springs, USA, teaching recording arts and drums and just showed one of my metal students, who is an amazing guitarist and beginning to write music in this direction, SIKTH and his face just exploded. He couldnt believe how long you guys have been around and the quality of your songwriting and riffs. I felt he needed a history lesson on where the music he currently listens to came from. he wasnt even alive when my face first exploded to SiKth.
Yes, Sikh is the godfather of Djent, but don’t you wish that the new gen atleast retained the tone? I loved the technicality with modern Dent but the mixes and tone always left something to be desired. This is what it should’ve been. Imagine how amazing those bands would sound with this style of mixing.
Just saw these guys live for the first time. Blown away. Such a great live performance. I advise anyone here in the US to catch them on tour with periphery if you can.
So many different parts from melodic to heavy, technical metal to just straight rocking. Absolutely loving this track guys and we can not wait to hear the rest of the album!
Im beginning to notice I'm finding lots of new bands I like while looking up support acts for gigs im going to... can't wait to see these guys with trivium
This EP was my introduction to Sikth and goddamn am I glad it was, this is awesome! It might be weird but I love how the vocals at 2:33 sounds like Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari.
I can't stress enough how important this band has been/is to modern metal. They make their many imitators and spin-offs look cheap and amateurish by comparison. Sikth is the real deal. I'm glad they're gifting us with their music.
I wasn't talking about this song in particular. I was talking about the band in general. The rest of their new EP opacities is fantastic. I recommend you listen to it, if you haven't already. SikTh is considered one of the forefathers of 'djent' and progressive modern metal and has inspired and influenced many modern bands.
NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR NEW SIKTH! CANT WAIT TO GET MY PREORDER FROM PLEDGE. GOT INTO YOU GUYS AFTER YOU BROKE UP. THANKS FOR MAKING NEW MUSIC. YOU ARE THE BEST
I've waited my whole life for music with purpose and skill to make it violently telling us to shape the fuck up. Progressive music like this has truly made my life a less dark road of relentless shit. It's like my own shadow is trying to tell me to dance with the chaos. Thank you.
I don’t usually like djent outside of periphery but the intro riff, to the soaring vocals, to the intense smack of the snares and clash of cymbals REALLY gets me! The verse vocals are so intense too
So genius and they never overdo it. the guitars around 3:52 always make me think they're gonna shift into some crazy sweeps at the end of that ascending riff (like "djent" bands would), but they don't, and go right back to the quintuplets. Again, so genius and never overdone.
had the great pleasure of supporting SikTh in liverpool last year with my band Oceanis. They were mind blowing then and this tune is just epic next level stuff. Nothing out there in the tech genre comes close!
Man, you guys fucking rule. Discovered sikth back in 2008, still haven't heard anything like you guys, thought id never hear music like this ever again, but then I saw opacities at my local zia records, and lost my shit. So glad you're back, hope you can have a show in the states again.
First time hearing SikTh... I dropped everything and just sat here like "You've got to be kidding me.." Absolutely awesome. This is music for musicians, harmonies/time signatures/construction itself,.. singer himself sings like 4 obvious different styles in just this song. I'm super impressed and gonna look up more.
Yes new sikTh!! Been a fan since How May I Help You? days soooo good to follow you guys even when you weren't doing music and now the new video, new mini album coming, yes just yes dudes. Such a tune too, reminds me of Part Of The Friction release and people were like oh this is different whats happened and then boooommmm the rest of the album showed even more greatness! I feel this is the same (tactic, cheeky?!) as then. Amazing either way!
I agree, 'How May I Help You?' is probably my favourite metal song, still have never heard as exceedingly creative and crazy, nothing sounds like that song!
This is only the second song from Sikth that I’ve heard (new fan). My first was Another Sinking Ship that I came upon by accident which is a fast and brutal song pretty much. I was not ready for the vocal switch up at 0:48 in this song. Quite beautiful if you ask me!
For the benefit of the new listeners;

+vdtom damn what a testimony!
+vdtom Thank you so much for sharing this. I was late to the party, started listening to Sikth around 2008 i think it was. So glad they're back and that there's a chance I can see them live again.
+vdtom Also, they were what I was listening to as I smoked my first joint. Good fucking times.
+kumquatmagoo Mmm, lots of times spent like that in my youth! Listening to the outro riff in Such the Fool with a buddy after smoking all night and playing it over and over again laughing like maniacs at how good it was. The moment I smoked a spliff in the dark and listened to the spoken word track at the end of the debut and just fucking 'got it'. Rediscovering the second album and hearing When the Moment's Gone's outro riff in a new light... And you know what? I'm 30 now and sober and still love it just as much as I did then. Magical band. While Fony were getting endless plays on Kerrang! TV, the Kennedy Soundtrack 'Killing Music' (in so many ways), even Vacant Stare got a massive buzz and Sikth just... didn't.
+Stavros MG Thanks man, those were awesome days! I wonder if youngsters nowadays still get that incredible excitement we got through those gigs! I will look back at watching the Bombjacks, Defenestration and Raging Speedhorn with great fondness. Sitting outside while King Prawn played drinking disgusting cider and making jokes about Ghymp and other local luminaries... Ah, good times.
Everyone throws Meshugga as the main influence for Periphery but god-damn, they're basically a Sikth tribute band!
Misha himself said something like that they owe so much to Sikth.
I still cannot believe I am listening to a new song from Sikth...
+Unneurotic What A Time To Be Alive
+Isaac Wastman (cvlts) the future is NOW!
same
Fucking yes.
It's not new anymore dude.
Disco Elysium brought my Ancient Reptilian Brain here
I know one of the vocalists is a VA in the game, from YT commentators - is this song present in the game?
My favorite songs of theirs are Vivid and The Moon's Been Gone For Hours - their best video is for How May I Help You.
Excellent choice, copperino.
'The dad's of djent' - Ola Englund, Jan- 2020
Came from the Ola-video as well :D
Accurate as burp
Meshuggah is the mom
Lol Dan doesn't like to claim it, but it is true.
Meshugga is the real dads, tho nit coining the term other than explaining dj_ dj_dj_...
Fredrik Thordendal, lead guitarist of Swedish band Meshuggah, is considered the originator of the djent technique.[3] However, the band did not coin the term itself; the djent scene developed from an online community of bedroom musicians, including Misha Mansoor, whose success with Periphery brought djent "from the virtual world into the real one."[3] In a 2018 interview by Rauta, Meshuggah guitarist Mårten Hagström jokingly apologized for the band's role in creating the djent genre.

And that guy was, like, 'What's he saying? Is that a Swedish word? Must be. Sounds like dj_, maybe 'djent'? Maybe something like that."
I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!!! This is fierce as fuck.... awesome, reminds me of Sanguine Seas a lot! AWESOME
HELL YEAH, BEA! Now this is the good shit!
+Rabea Massaad only the intro resembles, the rest is nioccee and fresh
+Rabea Massaad yasss. That slides down reminds me to sanguis seas
+Rabea Massaad
".... awesome, reminds me of Sanguine Seas a lot!"
+Rabea Massaad first thought - Sanguine Seas (Remastered)
I am so glad I didn't die before hearing new Sikth.
+Andrew Cowan Yeah, it didn't disappoint. Can't wait to hear more.
+AlphaBetaFoxface Totally agree! Killer stuff!
+Andrew Cowan but still, Necrophagist and Tool fans are in a worse situation.
I just discovered these guys at the Dallas Periphery concert. Holy shit, this is good! Welcome to the US, you brilliant British!
same here, but it was in seattle
same in atlanta lol
death of a dead day is their best album imo, i suggest giving that a listen too
Kinda amazing, in my mind at least, sikth were a big influence on the current "djent" stuff. And this just blows all of that out of the water. I'm now on my 4th listen of the song in a row and it's only getting better!
Cheers dude much appreciated
+Sikth Official You're more than welcome :) When I spotted the song I jumped around the room like a giddy child. Feel free to come play in Ireland :)
+flu55ball same here. Great to have you guys back in the game!
+flu55ball heard the other stuff? I have been listening to it non stop - i think I need a support group!
+Jason Jones other stuff?
SikThは今でも大好きです！
The world deserves this band
This was a band made to spite-but-inspire the world, and is a lot better than what The World feeds its inhabitants... youre not wrong, but for the wrong reasons! SikTh was the shīT and im sick over Man's loss of them
Fucking bravo guys, now this is how you make a come-back, please stick around this time folks the world needs more Sikth.
+Jason Thompson We gotta get the word out!
After seeing their first ever show in USA last night I must recommend everyone try to go see these guys immediately
I was there too dude. it was fucking too good
They are coming to my home town tonight!Never seen any of the bands on the lineup but they sound great!I am bringing the pit =D
What a bass sound! I nearly fell off my seat
feeling so sikth all over again..i know im kinda late bt.thank you so much for the reunion,the world needs to know who started it all...and id swear by that.
Some of us remember Sikth as the BEST..and they are..
Man, Mikee's scream at 1:55... that instantly recalls so much nostalgia from years of listening to SikTh!! This band was a huge chunk of my adolescence.
You guys must come to Portugal(Oporto)!!! Glad you're back, and as good as ever!
IM DRUNK AND THE CUBS JUST WON THE WORLD SERIES
SIKTH IS MY VICTORY DANCE
i thought this day would never come! Welcome back boys!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't listened to Sikth in maybe a year or more. Today I was just like "man I haven't listened to them in a while" and they fucking have new music. I love it.
+Bakutakamine Was sitting here in a sikth shirt and saw it posted on reddit - fucking pissed my knickers man haha, hadn't thought to check them out on youtube cos they're already in my itunes most played.
I'm in love all over again. I missed you guys in belfast all those years ago, youse better play Ireland again!
they've no plans by the look of it. best gig I ever went to was the limelight gig.
I've messaged them a few time to ask about belfast dates but never got a response
well i really hope they see this and make it happen!
Sikth+meshuggah gave us alot of what we have today. Glad to see them back!
all day will be playing this. long live sikth!!! always have surprised me.
1:33 following: Sounds like Jonathan Davis :D
Good to see the guys back
Round and round and round!!!
First song I heard from Sikth and yah this is how you gotta do it. An interview with Misha Mansoor brought me here.
FRICKIN HUGE. Well done boys and welcome back.
Wowowow this band so good. The first time i listen to Sikth and i love this band.
My god. Considering their old stuff and the standard they set for themselves I couldn't believe they'd release something near as good considering this is 10 years later.
But I was amazed. The shit is groovy and the chorus is beautiful!
there aren't enough words to explain how excited I've been this last 6-8 months since they announced they're EP - that turned into a mini album... then this arrived. Goosebumps... couldn't have hoped for anything better. blows everything out of the water.
Amazing! see you folks in Manchester!
You are gods guys . . Never thought I will hear anything new from you . . THANK YOU !!
YES! Sikth are back! I saw them when i was a little teenage metalhead in southampton. Blew my mind and I've listened to the albums consistently ever since and showed people all around the world!

Yes! saw you live in Mumbai back in Jan, this is fantastic
Yes, Sikh is the godfather of Djent, but don’t you wish that the new gen atleast retained the tone?
I loved the technicality with modern Dent but the mixes and tone always left something to be desired. This is what it should’ve been. Imagine how amazing those bands would sound with this style of mixing.
Oh man saw these guys live in Seattle and they were great!
I am still unable to get over how good this song is. Pure excellence!
This just made my year... So glad SikTh is back.
Just saw these guys live for the first time. Blown away. Such a great live performance. I advise anyone here in the US to catch them on tour with periphery if you can.
Sikth return and they didn't let us down. feels like a proper return from your 2006 album. You've been sorely missed chaps.
I remember seeing them years ago I think it was Camden underworld £2 gig. Unknown at the time but instantly became a favourite
9 and a half years since the last album....... what a wait and glad you guys still got it
Yes so much yes. SikThs back and killing it.
Still got it! Looking forward to the show in brum on the 11th! It'll be about the 11th time I've seen you guys too!
@ 2:24 I got a lump in my throat and teared up...the crow covering its eyes at the disgrace..I'm stoned out my gourd.
So many different parts from melodic to heavy, technical metal to just straight rocking.
Absolutely loving this track guys and we can not wait to hear the rest of the album!
An absolute masterclass in modern songwriting. Even after so long you're still so far ahead of your time!
Here we are, SikTh coming out of the woodwork again after another 10 years!
I can't wait to see these in Newcastle next week!
Now i remember why it was amazing when i was 15! Welcome back guys
OMFG! THEY BACK! I CANT BELIEVE! now i can die in peace
Im beginning to notice I'm finding lots of new bands I like while looking up support acts for gigs im going to... can't wait to see these guys with trivium
saw them last night at the PULP summer slam.. NOW IM A HUGE FAN!
New to this band...now a fan 🤘
Got my Opacities CD yesterday! Thanks guys, love it!
新曲だ！待ってたよ！最高！
This EP was my introduction to Sikth and goddamn am I glad it was, this is awesome! It might be weird but I love how the vocals at 2:33 sounds like Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari.
+Augtivism Man, just don't please.
Gaming 10s What?
+Augtivism enter shit-kay ri?
Just saw these guys live, energy was wild!!
Can't get bored of this song. It's getting better and better. Roll on December!
How have I never gotten into sikth before? It's like bits of periphery, the number 12 looks like you, and btbam all in one band
Keep them coming lads. Looking forward to an album. Music's a better place with you guys around.
I've waited for this moment for years...
+MrMickey3817 I take it its still on repeat, like my copy is?
+kumquatmagoo Yep!
I can't stress enough how important this band has been/is to modern metal. They make their many imitators and spin-offs look cheap and amateurish by comparison. Sikth is the real deal. I'm glad they're gifting us with their music.
This isn't even that great I could find shit 10x better than this.. This is a really basic song it's really nothing special at all
I wasn't talking about this song in particular. I was talking about the band in general. The rest of their new EP opacities is fantastic. I recommend you listen to it, if you haven't already. SikTh is considered one of the forefathers of 'djent' and progressive modern metal and has inspired and influenced many modern bands.
+Brendon stacey Better than the Contortionist
+Porcupethtonia Their music without these terrible vocals ;)
+Brandon, I think you never took a guitar in your hands to make such a comment. Because, believe me, any SERIOUS musician would facepalm reading it.
NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR NEW SIKTH! CANT WAIT TO GET MY PREORDER FROM PLEDGE. GOT INTO YOU GUYS AFTER YOU BROKE UP. THANKS FOR MAKING NEW MUSIC. YOU ARE THE BEST
I've waited my whole life for music with purpose and skill to make it violently telling us to shape the fuck up. Progressive music like this has truly made my life a less dark road of relentless shit. It's like my own shadow is trying to tell me to dance with the chaos. Thank you.
I don’t usually like djent outside of periphery but the intro riff, to the soaring vocals, to the intense smack of the snares and clash of cymbals REALLY gets me! The verse vocals are so intense too
still blasting this masterpiece today. You guys are geniuses. Guitar play is EPIC.
Hey guys hopefully you can visit phillippines. We love you guys. :)
This song is very reminiscent of Sanguine Seas... especially the intro. New Sikth, what a treat : )
So genius and they never overdo it. the guitars around 3:52 always make me think they're gonna shift into some crazy sweeps at the end of that ascending riff (like "djent" bands would), but they don't, and go right back to the quintuplets. Again, so genius and never overdone.
Cant get enough of that atmosphere. What a climax. You guys are like diamonds. Such quality craft is hard to find these days
God what a comeback !! Impressive to be so fresh and relevant 10 years later ! Bravo SikTh !
3:30-4:04 (or simply to the end) is the SikTh I missed. So glad they are back
The world, we left in disarray.
The world we love became estranged.
had the great pleasure of supporting SikTh in liverpool last year with my band Oceanis. They were mind blowing then and this tune is just epic next level stuff. Nothing out there in the tech genre comes close!
This is fucking awesome, so happy Sikth are back. Cheers from British Columbia
Nothing is/was /never will be above sikht
Sikth an Awesome band that has been around since myspace music was a thing
ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES
HOLY SHIT. Waited so long for you to get back together. Absolutely smashed it!!!!!!!
So so so so so good!
это лучшее сочетание двух вокалистов!!!!!!!
From Man City to Norwich, Rip flogging the Horses !! 😎
Man, you guys fucking rule. Discovered sikth back in 2008, still haven't heard anything like you guys, thought id never hear music like this ever again, but then I saw opacities at my local zia records, and lost my shit. So glad you're back, hope you can have a show in the states again.
or ever, Don't know if you ever played here.
First time hearing SikTh... I dropped everything and just sat here like "You've got to be kidding me.." Absolutely awesome. This is music for musicians, harmonies/time signatures/construction itself,.. singer himself sings like 4 obvious different styles in just this song. I'm super impressed and gonna look up more.
Amazing!!
Awesome!!
This has got to be my fave track by Sikth so far. It's great to see the band getting better with age, incredible work :D
awesome welcome back you legends
Periiippherryyyy
Man, this is super EPIC. Cannot stop listening. Vocals are SICK!
10 seconds into the song and I already dig it OMFG THIS IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!! Cant't wait to hear more new shite!
Yes new sikTh!! Been a fan since How May I Help You? days soooo good to follow you guys even when you weren't doing music and now the new video, new mini album coming, yes just yes dudes. Such a tune too, reminds me of Part Of The Friction release and people were like oh this is different whats happened and then boooommmm the rest of the album showed even more greatness! I feel this is the same (tactic, cheeky?!) as then. Amazing either way!
I agree, 'How May I Help You?' is probably my favourite metal song, still have never heard as exceedingly creative and crazy, nothing sounds like that song!
That was impressive. Totally what I was looking for the past months. Good job guys !
This is only the second song from Sikth that I’ve heard (new fan). My first was Another Sinking Ship that I came upon by accident which is a fast and brutal song pretty much. I was not ready for the vocal switch up at 0:48 in this song. Quite beautiful if you ask me!
glad to hear yous back together, brothers. looking forward to a full length with all new songs.
Such an amazing and different band! You guys do not disappoint! Great song :D
