'Life In The Dome'

"More Like Life In A Bubble"

We had these premonitions of a terrible future where climate change would ruin everything and humanity would end up living in domes underground. It's largely crap and while the vision has been made into films and TV shows there's still no sign we're at such apocalyptic ends. That's not to say we won't end up there.

In any case, cheesy Sci-Fi fodder was our bread and butter so we had this little number we whipped out when we wanted to be 'down and heavy' during our sets. We had a drummer who used to milk the half-time and double-time changes like he was playing for Zeppelin, and that made for tremendous fun.

It's hard to say why we had such apocalyptic visions but I do remember seeing the distant horizon to the west at dusk when crossing the Gladesville Bridge one night on our way home from rehearsals. There had been bushfires and the smoke had created a layer of green light in-between the twilight inkblot black-blue and the ding twilight orange over the horizon. It was an eerie sight which stuck in my mind.

Now that Australia's up in flames it seems incredibly quaint now that such an ephemeral inkling of an image made its way into this song. It really was there for a brief moment and by the time we had crossed the bridge it was gone.
