I re-structured the song. I was bored. No hate. God bless us every one We're a broken people living under loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun No And when I close my eyes tonight To symphonies of blinding light (God bless us every one / we're a broken people living under loaded gun) Oh / like memories in cold decay Transmissions echoing away Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky And when I close my eyes tonight To symphonies of blinding light (God bless us every one / we're a broken people living under loaded gun) Oh / like memories in cold decay Transmissions echoing away Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky God save us every one Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hand The sins of our tongue The sins of our father The sins of our young No God save us every one Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hand The sins of our tongue The sins of our father The sins of our young No And when I close my eyes tonight To symphonies of blinding light (God bless us every one / we're a broken people living under loaded gun) Oh / like memories in cold decay Transmissions echoing away Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky Lift me up Let me go God bless us every one We're a broken people living under loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun No God save us every one Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hand The sins of our tongue The sins of our father The sins of our young No God save us every one Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hand The sins of our tongue The sins of our father The sins of our young No
If I would reconstruct this it would go like: - Mike singing "lift me up, let me go" softly over the grand piano - Keyboard fades in with the electro beat; "god bless us" part x2 - Mini synth breakdown - "god save us" part x2 -Longer synth breakdown - "like memories in cold decay" part x2 (second time would have distortion and skipping like blackout remix) - fades into synth and grand piano - "lift me up, let me go" harmonized x4 - climatic chester "lift me up let me go" - ends with the band singing "lift me up let me go" with chester singing the "god save us" part rather than the other - fade out.
This does seem like a song that could be re-structured, if not de-constructed / re-constructed and potentially made to sound better.
I know it isn't one of those songs songs but I was just thinking about it being more for the radio and I think came up with the structure. God bless us - basically special lyrics. And when I - the verse. God save us - the chorus. Lift me up - the bridge lyrics.
