Pain of Salvation comes in your life at the worst moments, and gives you infinite strength to continue on...
Thank you as always <3

[xXxArgMaggotxXx]

I must have listen to this song at least 15 times, I woke up with it in my head, and had to listen to it again. It only gets better.

[HunterRouth]

Daniel screaming like Chris Cornell & Richie Kotzen. That was awesome. I'm really digging this song, very rhythmically moving.

[EdNieves]

Once again I get myself thinking: They're doing it again, they're doing these crazy things and I don't like it. 30 minutes later and I'm jumping inside the room screaming with the songs. You're amazing, fellas, never stop. PLEASE.

[soldfuture_]

Guys, I love pain of salvation, but... let's be honest. Daniel is in great fucking shape

[JuanEngel]

This Song is amazing. Daniel's voice is powerful as never.

[maarikaa]

Geez, he just feels good in his own body. I swear he’s not to blame here.

[sleepwalkerdee]

They are always there writing the words and music to fit exactly what im going through at this point in my life. like a doctor prescribing medicine. This is why they will always be my favorite band

[galateavasileadou]

To paraphrase a famous quote by Kafka: Art "must be the axe for the frozen sea within us". POS and genius Daniel always create real art and sometimes is disturbing as all things that (should) make us feel inconvenient are. Love from Greece!

[antaed]

midway i'm like "hmm, interesting..." then the second half happened and i'm goosebumps all over

[necroschoo]

I don't know why, but i have the believe that in someway this band have made half of my life in so many ways, that everytime that comes a new song comes out life starts a state of catharsis and the energies flow as if you were traveling through a wormhole of feelings and emotions. That's what I love cause it let me et me take the bad out and renew myself even stronger. 🤘❤

[adarshraghuram]

They have saved us all. Cherish the brilliant, the crazy, the fools, the gifted and the troubled!

[maurizioviccaro]

Another masterpiece from one of the greatest band of the world!

[robwescombeyahoo]

I just discovered this band within the last week, I simply cannot get enough of this song. WONDERFUL!

[devongraves]

Modernized mix of One Hour and in the passing. Just Brilliant 👏

[Pit_Lord]

My God this song grows on you. I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, “well...maybe Daniel’s finally found a genre he couldn’t quite make work”. By day 2 it was stuck in my head. Now, a year later, , I see it as one of their best songs and can’t understand how I ever thought differently.

One of the most interesting things about this song is that 80% of it is Bm. Literally it’s the entire verse and the post chorus section. Somehow Daniel makes almost an entire song within those confines. Even with the chorus it’s 4 chords outside of a couple of modulations. Bm D F#m Em (modulations E C#m Gm). It’s something he’s been able to do from the very beginning, but it never loses ceases to impress in its ability to write progressive music from a simple progression. The biggest issue in this genre is its tendency to over complicate for its own sake. While that certainly applies to them on their earlier albums and appears from time to time on their newer ones, by and large they have moved beyond that.

In large part because of that choice, Pain of Salvation is best understood as the other end of the spectrum from bands like Dream Theater and far better for it. I remember a time when I loved DT, but the moment I heard Pain of Salvation they’ve become a chore to listen to. DT’s music sounds like it was written by a computer that mistakes complexity and speed for the makings of a great band. Pain of Salvation, , by contrast, sounds like their music comes straight from the depths of one’s soul. DT often seems forced and inorganic, pain of salvation radiates sincerity with each note serving the purpose of advancing their songs. This is why they are able to take the most bizarre, borderline non-sensical elements, and seamlessly bind them together into songs that feel as though they couldn’t be written without them.and that they were always meant to be exactly what they are.

I know what you're thinking⠀
I must be the problem here⠀
I think too fast⠀
Talk too loud⠀
I barely touch the ground⠀
Yes, I must be the problem here⠀
⠀
I know what you're thinking⠀
I must be the problem here⠀
Charred ground all around⠀
Sooty feet⠀
A wild look of despair⠀
Surely, I must be the problem here⠀
⠀
'Cause outside there's a world on fire ⠀
And as I'm standing right here ⠀
Reeking of smoke, gasoline and pyre⠀
I smell just like you worst fear⠀
Though every step in my wake is charred ground⠀
I swear I'm not to blame here⠀
I'm doing my best to fight fire with fire⠀
ACCELERATOR ⠀
⠀
Like fire knows flame⠀
You know my name⠀
Spokesman of the ⠀
Restless and untamed ⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
⠀
Like fire knows flame⠀
You know my name⠀
Spokesman of the ⠀
Broken and insane⠀
I'm ACCELERATOR⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
⠀
You know what I'm thinking?⠀
What if I am not the problem here?⠀
You think so slow ⠀
Plan too much⠀
Had the matches all along⠀
What if I am not the problem here?⠀
⠀
Yes, lately I've been thinking ⠀
That you might be the problem here⠀
Sane ⠀
Seemingly sound⠀
Pointing ink stained stubby fingers⠀
All around⠀
While our houses burn down to the ground⠀
⠀
And outside there's a world on fire⠀
And you're still debating⠀
While the flames run higher and higher⠀
Incinerating⠀
⠀
W E G I V E Y O U ⠀
T H E B R I L L I A N T ⠀
T H E C R A Z Y ⠀
T H E F O O L S⠀
T H E G I F T E D ⠀
A N D T H E T R O U B L E D⠀
⠀
You Normals will follow the ones you choose⠀
Now, maybe that's the problem?⠀
⠀
We're the ones who can save you all ⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
We're the ones who can solve it all⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
⠀
We're the ones who can save you all⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
We're the ones who can solve it all ⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
⠀
Don't kill every flame cause you're scared to get burned⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
Sometimes it's the fire that saves the world⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀
ACCELERATOR⠀

Pain Of Salvation know how to add feeling and personality into their music. I’m definitely excited for this new album

[MrProgressor]

at first listen song did not click, second time sounded better, third time I became addicted :) I love they finally returned to old style along with previous record that I absolutely adore and worship

[florianclaude]

Each time I don't hear about POS for a moment it's just because they're working on their next best album.

Incredible how incredible they are
