Story Behind The Song
While some songs develop quickly (often spontaneously), this song took awhile to come together. There are unique changes that had to be worked through, and ultimately the transitions had to make sense. In fact, it really wasn?t until the band was in the studio that all the pieces came together, and that was during the waning minutes of a 14-hour day!
Song Description
London Said is a great illustration of the dynamic that Barakus brings to its sound. The verses are soft and spacey, accentuated with a subtle piano riff and lofty vocals. The choruses are powerful, with an intricately woven guitar riff that sings along with the vocals. And then there are the "explosions," where the band locks in tight and really kicks up the intensity.

Lyrics
London Said
can you see this maze
something that you crave
it?s over I am lost
feeling down on luck
feeling like I?m stuck
it?s over so you win
one more time
deep inside
it?s what London said
and the feelings have gone to my head
can something go my way
it?s the one thing you should say
today?.
TODAY??
your words are like a gun
affecting everyone
and you wear a bullet proof vest
so you think you?ve grown
cause you?re internationally known
but you cannot resist
one more time
deep inside
it?s what London said
and the feelings have gone to my head
can something go my way
it?s the one thing you should say
today?.
TODAY??
what?s this secret
you keep from me
are you saving
are you breaking
ME
one time
this ocean
divides
forgotten
that?s fine
the burden
was mine
the burden
was mine
