[02:43:38] Thank you.
[02:44:08] Hello. I’m Raza, but I’m here with my friend Kevin.
[02:44:13] Hi, Kevin.
[02:44:14] Hey, Kevin.
[02:44:16] So thank you all for being here. Thanks to Tyler for letting me do this.
[02:44:22] So I put out music under the band project named Solamente.
[02:44:28] The song we’re doing for you today is about grief.
[02:44:33] And it turns out that there’s five stages of grief.
[02:44:38] There’s denial, there’s anger, there’s bargaining, there’s depression, and there’s acceptance.
[02:44:44] As I’m told by all the professionals, it’s not necessarily the same in that order.
[02:44:50] Anyway, so I wrote an album about it.
[02:44:52] And the track we’ll do for you today is about the denial phase.
[02:44:58] And it goes something like this.
[02:45:07] In the storm.
[02:45:08] Of my creation.
[02:45:13] Flossed into the seas of the unknown.
[02:45:21] And I know.
[02:45:24] The further I sail, the deeper I fall.
[02:45:31] Though if the winds change direction.
[02:45:36] Fate will make.
[02:45:38] It all.
[02:45:41] Over and over again.
[02:45:45] The erosion is setting in.
[02:45:49] The scorch won’t sell the rent.
[02:45:52] And my world is fading in.
[02:45:59] Trust.
[02:46:00] The thorns scorched.
[02:46:04] Thus we would stand.
[02:46:08] A vessel under pressure.
[02:46:12] A signal in distress.
[02:46:16] So we’re just.
[02:46:18] In such matters.
[02:46:22] Nature.
[02:46:23] The wind.
[02:46:26] Grace.
[02:46:28] Under pressure.
[02:46:31] And do.
[02:46:32] Powerless.
[02:46:35] Over and over again.
[02:46:38] The ocean is setting in.
[02:46:43] The scorch won’t sell the rent.
[02:46:48] And my world is caving in.
[02:46:52] In denial I cannot see the end.
[02:47:00] With my head in the sand.
[02:47:04] It’s better to pretend.
[02:47:06] I can’t see the end.
[02:47:07] I can’t see the end.
[02:47:08] OohHhhhhhhhhh!
[02:47:09] Ooh.
[02:47:10] Ooohhh.
[02:47:10] Ooohhh.
[02:47:11] Ooohhhhhhh.
[02:47:11] Woooooooooooo!
[02:47:12] Ooohhhhhh.
[02:47:13] suivre
[02:47:37] Who will cool us
[02:47:49] To the fire that burns within
[02:47:55] To dust
[02:47:58] You know we’ll return in the end
[02:48:05] To dust
[02:48:08] The ruin’s a ship in the deep
[02:48:15] Sinking to shield your bottom line
[02:48:20] Explosion is almighty
[02:48:23] Over and over again
[02:48:28] Corrosion is setting in
[02:48:33] This of course
[02:48:35] will be the end
[02:48:35] This of course will be the end
[02:48:35] I’m fully self-correct
[02:48:37] And my world is caving in
[02:48:44] In denial
[02:48:46] I cannot see the end
[02:48:50] With my head in the sand
[02:48:53] It’s better to pretend
[02:48:58] Ooh, in denial
[02:49:05] I cannot see the end
[02:49:05] I cannot see the end
[02:49:09] With my head in the sand
[02:49:13] It’s better to pretend
[02:49:16] Ooh, in denial
[02:49:18] I cannot see the end
[02:49:20] With my head in the sand
[02:49:22] It’s better to pretend
[02:49:24] Ooh, in denial
[02:49:26] I cannot see the end
[02:49:28] With my head in the sand
[02:49:30] It’s better to pretend
[02:49:32] Ooh, in denial

[02:50:57] Give it up for them.
[02:51:04] Hey, y’all like that?
