Unquestionably the heaviest song I have ever written. A full 10 minutes in length, it deals with the aftermath of a nuclear war. The opus starts out with a long spacey synth intro with bomb explosions, punctuating a somber EWI lead. Acid Rain starts at 2:50. Sax solos and powerful Floydian guitar solos along with the heavy lyrics give this song epic proportions.

This song was inspired by Pink Floyd’s “Momentary Lapse of Reason” album in 1987. This song got left off of Spacetime because it was too long and wouldn’t fit on the cassette. No limitation these days with the advancing qualities of the Internet. The last guitar solo is incredible – it took 15 takes in the studio! This is truly my closest approximation of Pink Floyd – the “Premonition” intro itself is truly cosmic.
