about

Artist: Widetrack
Song: Seeksorrow
Release Date: September 7, 2020

BIO:
Widetrack is the musical partnership of Ron Tippin and his 16 year-old son, Zach.

The duo's "Alterna-Prog" sound strikes a balance between the moody-deep undertones of such progressive groups as Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, The Mars Volta, etc., with the heaviness of alternative and hard rock bands like Soundgarden, Queens Of The Stone Age, Tool, STP, etc.

Between 2007 and 2016, Ron self-released the band's first three albums, 'Widetrack', 'Widetrack II', and 'Widetrack III', Zach's recording debut, as bassist.

Beginning in January 2019, the father-son team wrote, recorded and released one new song each month, marking Zach's debut as a songwriter and recording engineer, as well as the first time Ron had written Widetrack music with another person.

The twelve songs comprise Widetrack's fourth album, The Unwakening, released on April 23rd, 2020 (Zach's 16th birthday).

The band was in the process of booking live dates throughout 2020, but those plans have been put on hold, due to the pandemic crisis. In the meantime, they are writing and recording new music, and playing live streaming performances.

lyrics

Seeksorrow

Light fades from a colorless sky
A fair day’s hope barely survived

To such broken lives
Always the worst end

Scenes come to mind

You ought to laugh so loud
You’d be surprised

You’re not the only one
Who’s ever felt denied
A promised end

When going all in
Is one’s only out to find

To such broken lives

Dramas form ever more tales of
How you’ve suffered
Like no one else can

Scenes come to mind

Like cancer
Lusting for our tears

Longing to cut with
Those on a fine knife edge

Cognitive biases
Howling for justice
From the exempt

And I feel
Crushed by the load
Drawn in and lessened by
These truly vile norms

Consciousness undermined
Strung right along

Nothing left to be learned
Consumed by the madness

And I see no sign of a result
Locked in your blind views of the goal

As your sort
Awaits a new crisis
To profit by its bombast

No interest in ever solving
These problems of our
Devolving morale
