SEVEN SECONDS LATE - NightEoe

SEVEN SECONDS LATE — NightEoe Lightning arrives first. Then you count. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Sometimes the sound comes. Sometimes it doesn't. An Alternative Indie Rock × Post-Rock song built around distance, silence, delayed impact, and a storm outside an ordinary room. 🎧 Headphones recommended. #NightEoe #SevenSecondsLate #IndieRock #PostRock #AlternativeMusic #OriginalSong [Flash] One— two— three— [Verse I] White across the ceiling For half a second, noon The window shows the whole street Then gives it back to blue No warning No crescendo Just every shadow gone I wait beside the curtains For what I know will come [Seven Count] One Two Three Four Five Six Seven— [Impact] BOOM. The glass begins to shake The pipes remember rain Something that was over Finally reaches me again [Verse II] Another flash behind the roofs The trees turn paper-white A bicycle without a rider Throws a shadow through the night I start the count One Two Three— Nothing. Four Five— Still nothing. Six— I hold my breath Seven— [False Impact] ... No thunder. [Quiet Center] Maybe it went somewhere else Maybe distance changed Maybe not everything that flashes Has to come back as a sound The refrigerator clicks A car rolls through the rain For once the room is just a room again [Storm] [Instrumental] Three guitar notes. Silence. Low tom. Again. Closer. Again. Closer. Then the whole sky breaks. [Last Count] Flash. One— Thunder. I laugh. That one was close. [Afterlight] Rain against the window No counting anymore Morning hasn't happened But I can see the floor Three quiet notes from somewhere in the room Then nothing. Nothing needs to follow.
