LYRICS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You and I should head down town.
Just driving around.
See all the faces the beautiful faces
The beautiful faces (x5)

It's midnight in LA my hi-lights look better than OK.
I see the Neon glow
Down, down below.
I'm in the city that doesn't sleep.
I want to stop but I'm in too deep.
The city lights shimmer by.
I must be high.

Beautiful faces
The beautiful faces
The beautiful faces
The burnt out faces.

Beautiful faces
The beautiful faces
The beautiful faces
The burnt out faces.

I'm in LA.
My hi-lights look OK.

[Cruddy]

So you've finally given the silent type of the trio a voice eh?

After listening to the soundtrack and seeing the art on the website, I think I've got a pretty good idea of how the story is gonna play out through the songs:
1. Broken: Roscoe and Evangeline's relationship has suffered as a result of the events of "Computer Guy" and somehow their relationship has degraded to the point where they are literally attacking each other. Kandi is tired of being caught in the crossfire, and steals Roscoe's car to escape the confrontation. They both realise too late that they have driven Kandi away and the video ends there.
2. Hi-Lights: This follows the immediate aftermath of "Broken", with Kandi reflecting on going to other places to escape the confrontation between her friends. She is then stalked by a mysterious green presence as she enters the city, where she is then abducted by a green UFO, and passes out before awaking to see her captors beginning to experiment on her.
3. Epoch: This (likely) follows the aftermath of the events in "Broken", and follows Roscoe trying to find and talk to Evangeline, explaining that despite what appears to be the future in "Computer Guy", their future is what they make of it and although mistakes have been made in the past, they can still work it out (I'm led to believe that with the inclusion of her voice at the end that he does find her). They are presumably unaware of Kandi's abduction.
4. Wires: This follows on from Kandi's abduction in "Hi-Lights". Judging by the art on the website and the lyrics in the song, this presumably details the "alien's" experimentation on her, implanting her with wires and devices across her body. This likely results in her breaking free and attempting to warn her friends about a trap the aliens set for them. Then the second verse kicks in and we see her trapped again with the aliens now completely assimilating her, presumably locking away her conscience.
5. All Smiles: This likely follows on from both "Epoch" and "Wires", with Roscoe and Evangeline discussing their relationship in the past and trying to come to agreement in how they should proceed. The video will presumably end in them receiving the message sent by Kandi in "Wires".
6. Release: We now see Kandi after the aliens have completed their experiments on her. She has been completely assimilated after the events of "Wires" and is begging to be released. It is possible that she could be broadcasting to her friends to free her, but it is likely that this song/video will be to emphasise the dire situation Kandi is in. The video will likely end in some sort of scene either showing Kandi suspended in a tank (art from the website), or of the alien's ship above the city.
7. Grinder: This will follow on from "All Smiles" and will once again show Roscoe and Evangeline fighting, although this time it is over Kandi and how they forced her to end up trapped and experimented on by the aliens. This will ultimately end in them resolving their differences and beginning their search for Kandi.
8. Searchers: This video will show Roscoe and Evangeline in a car (possibly Evangeline's from "The Driver"), searching for the aliens so they can find Kandi and rescue her. They finally reconcile their differences and focus on preparing to fight to free Kandi. This will likely end with them either driving into the city or arriving below the alien ship, as well as possibly showing Kandi trapped aboard the ship.
9. The Roll: This is the song partially played in the credits of some Savlonic Neon videos. If this one is indeed made into a video, this will show them proceeding into the ship to free Kandi (I honestly don't think this will be made as part if the animation series and will stay as a post-video song). If it is made into a video then it is likely this will show them sneaking aboard and releasing Kandi, before we see the head or "boss" alien, and the video ends there (I also suspect that they might be planning to have robot versions of the Savlonic band in this).
10. Angles: This is the final fight, the climax of a conflict years in the making. If this doesn't show them fighting the aliens, it will show them fighting robotic versions of themselves (This is where the "angles" and "sides" bit comes into it. They're taunting the real Savlonic and threatening to reveal secrets within them). The video ends with them leaving the destroyed remains of the robots aboard the ship, and driving away in the car. I think that if Kandi is not released in an earlier video, this will revolve around them fighting the robots, controlled by the brainwashed Kandi. If this is the case, this will be the video where they finally rescue Kandi and take her from the ship.

NB: I might have completely nerded out and read into the subtext of the songs a little too much. I just got bored of waiting for the next Savlonic video so I thought I might try and guess what's gonna happen. If you made it this far, why not drop an opinion? Cheers :D

YES!!!! GO KANDI! She's my favourite. :D Also awesome video and sound. Proud to be a backer.

I was a country boy who moved to a big city because my buddy at the time convinced me to do it. I met a girl in the big city and we'd drive around at night. This song reminds me of 2009 when she and I would drive around with all the high lights. Haven't lived in a city for 15 years at this point, but this song makes me think of her and the city night life. Living in the country is so much better but there is something about being young and living in a big city.

Holy mother of moley the video was more beautiful than I thought it would ever be

[vxcorwinxv]

The effort put behind all the Savlonic videos is unjustly unrepresented. Where is there better content under 5m views? What a travesty.

[Mahoxy]

Savlonic fan for life! This is awesome.

[Sparrow_Bloodhunter]

it's so beautiful, it reminds me of the years before I was born.

[HappyCynic]

If this video were any more eighties, it would be Don Johnson.

[turkoositerapsidi]

Would be nice if Savlonic would continue this someday.

[christianloper]

IMO this is the best song you have ever made. Delicious synths and bass, awesome energy, forceful emotion.

[ralloenshadowfyre]

The detail on the eye at 2:46 is awesome

[XOXOcel]

My favourite song from the album, nice music video to go with it!

[MonadoBoi]

"To be continued"

5 years later, still nothing.

[tyniercyin]

I love how you mixed the tune from Wires into the intro. I seriously love this album!

[nukezap]

A few months on and i am still loving this beautiful work mr Weebl.

[Thendnothing]

I'm really digging the *a s t h e t i c* of this video.

[Arro]

Yay, I'm glad this song got a music video! I've been obsessed with it recently.

[Luke-]

It's interesting to me how Kandi is animated with 4 fingers like normal at 2:25 but then animated with 5 fingers at 2:40 which is cool to me because I think that's the only time we see a Savlonic character with 5 fingers

[BrokenSword]

I demand more ! loving the aesthetics !!
