Tune of the year material right here; will be playing this in every set I spin for a while. Awesome work John & Shelby! \o/

[@mysticnovelbro]

You'd be smart to do so anyways. Seems like a track to close out a set or three with at least lol

[@ricktona]

I'm with you, this is my TOTY!!!

[@Capella_Star]

I love Shelby Merry's voice !!!

[@alienpreacher1111]

Before seeing you tomorrow at Luminosity, I just need to say this John... I have listened to the most of your tracks, and for me personally this one is your very best. This is what I feel the real sound of John Askew is. Energetic, driving, banging, uplifting... But also emotional, deep, a bit melancholic and made with love and faith in the goodness. You are unbreakable and for that I solute you John Askew. This is in my humble opinion the best track of your career so far... Cheers, see you soon 🙂

[@H31y]

This is amazing; I cannot believe that Shelby Merry wrote this over eight years ago! THANK YOU for bringing her talent to the forefront, and I sincerely hope that we hear more of her in the trance scene very soon!

[@Lanzafameluis1985]

Lyrics: You can fall asleep on my knees and I'll hold you hand. Separate yourself from the darkness in this world and slip into a peaceful land. Hell will rise as the sun falls down, So close your eyes, I'll wake you when the day sounds. They're never gonna break me. They're never gonna change us. This war's not flesh and bone, This war wages in us- And it burns like a fire It burns like a fire. There's a voice inside my head, And it's telling me to be brave... When the darkness comes If you ain't scared, you ain't human. It burns like a fire, it burns like a fire. We're all running from our lives somehow, terrified of what we'll find when the walls come falling down. They're never gonna break me. They're never gonna change us. This war's not flesh and bone, This war wages in us- And it burns like a fire It burns like a fire.

9 minutes!!! This is what I want for trance!

[@p-jronkainen368]

nice vibes😳

[@AndreDiego77]

Two fantastic artists, this track makes you feel the real energy of Trance!

[@gsshin6653]

8:35 Amazing John!!😌

[@csgecko]

This man is criminally underrated. Why is the channel getting so few views?

[@HeerzYT]

john askew is rated as one of the best in the scene what you on about lmao

[@csgecko]

@@HeerzYT the fact his youtube channel lacks views man wym?

[@HeerzYT]

@@csgecko I think most people use other platforms for listening nowadays

[@mysticnovelbro]

@@csgecko his views would be more elsewhere if Black Hole Recordings etc. actually promoted the content their labels submit. Quite criminal really, but until then again, poor fellas like Askew, Patterson and Atkinson are going to suffer for it. Many more are tied to this system, and as bad as it is.... I can't help but wonder what rewards await them for going fully independent. Not an easy step to take tbh

[@Jimmy2001122]

You'd think that blackhole would not be so involved in these other record labels, am I missing something? They seem to be on everything, I'm with the majority that if they were independent they would rake it in

[@solidbase77]

What a fantastic tune..! Love Shelby Merry's vocals! )))

[@marceocean]

Im in love with this track, on repeat, and it keeps burning like a fire, masterpiece. Her voice, the lyrics, your music. Perfect. All the feels. Tune of the year 🙏🏻❤️

[@SuperDaveallan]

Glorious

[@monic_rom1520]

Incredible masterpiece!!! And Sublimeee Lyrics!! Gorgeousness!!! 💓💎💓

[@oepaga12]

Shelby's vocals are out of this world for sure, love this one John, props!!!

[@solidbase77]

She's very good especially in the "Someday" track by Sean Tyas! ))) This is just a great song! )))

[@oepaga12]

@@solidbase77 100%, yup 'Someday''s another killer track for sure!

[@ReconcileC]

Best vocal track of the year by far for me Askew is the impediment of being so well known but so well reserved one my favorites for a long time keep going mate 🤌

[@gautamarajkhaw6436]

Jesus bro , I’m feeling so many things with this track 😭

[@matthewt5357]

That was all class. Thank you john and shelby 👌

[@mysticnovelbro]

Well, shit! This one caught me off-guard anyways lol! Not bad, John. Not bad at all. An actual anthem for 2022, bro. Genuinely hope this track tears this year a new one.

[@rafaeljimenez4168]
