From the EP ‘The Experiencing Process of Rediscovery’
THE NEW SINGLE ‘THE DISTANCE’ FROM ‘[man among men]’ WITH IT’S DREAMY, ETHEREAL, EPIC AND MAJESTIC ALTERNATIVE ROCK PRODUCTION IS ON THE PLAYLIST NOW.
LONDONFM OCTOBER 10, 2022 LONDON FM DIGITAL NEWS
The head of music for londonfm.digital said that he loved the new single ‘The Distance’ from ‘[man among men]’ with it’s dreamy, ethereal, epic and majestic alternative rock production, strong distinctive vocals and overall heartfelt vibe, that touches the soul and gets the hairs standing up on your arms. This is a strong, dark and atmospheric single that has a stadium rock sound that reminds us of seminal acts like Sisters of Mercy and Fields of the Nephilim
I wrote the lyrics for this song after my mother passed the same year after my daughter went missing...
The hardest song I ever wrote & probably be the most difficult to perform LIVE
A turn to the soft & mellow side of [man among men] at A432HZ on True Temperament guitars & JI 6 String Fretless Bass

Say that you won't leave an say that you'll stay like a mountain
Stay, stay like an ocean...
Say you won't leave be back tomorrow, leave me eyes wide shut, hair is now fallen

An stay, stay like a mountain...
Say you won't leave, be back mañana, hold our hands together don't let go gently-tightly
Take this undying love to the highest mountain, hold our love to touch, touch your cheek gently softly
Please, my love, por favor, stay now an forever
Stay, stay like an ocean...
Say you won't leave be back tomorrow, leave me eyes wide shut, hair is now fallen
Take this beating heart, to the deepest ocean, holding up your head, your face, gently softly
An stay, stay like a mountain...
Say you won't leave, be back mañana, hold our hands together don't let go gently-tightly
Take this undying love to the highest mountain, hold our love to touch, touch your cheek gently softly
Please, don't leave, don't ever go, don't leave now or ever
Awake, my love, this heart, my heart, to deepest oceans
Awake, my heart, this love, our love, to highest mountains
mmm, mmm, mmm...
