the occupants :: hindsight

[@kingkonzschoolofmusic9127]

This song came on Google earlier tonight and i listened to it 3 times in a row but forgot to ask what the name was!!! I've been looking for an hour and finally found it!!! FUCK YEAH!!!! New favourite song for a while

[@ChannelTUT]

One of the greatest songs of the decade - don't worry if it is criminally ignored it still EXISTS. Good luck COG x

[@Kippling]

Still ignored in 2024. Still a banger.

[@theapologytourpodcast]

"I never stopped to look what it took to get this far" Gets me every time!

[@XaVideo]

How the hell am I only just finding out about this after having listened to Cog for 10+ years???

[@alexcoates6011]

It never really took off which is an absolute tragedy. When it came out I was so ready for them to explode

[@obsidiongamer7651]

I love Flynn’s emotional progressions , not to mention his great introspections about navigating through life’s ups & downs , I really relate to his yearning for a better life to come 😘

[@alexcoates6011]

Saw COG play last night and had to revisit this song. It's a crime that they never continued to make music. This was the perfect evolution of COG into a more modern sound and its mindblowing.

[@thealutnaratproject9699]

there still playing ?

[@triba4990]

Couldn't agree more! Having said that if COG had come back and released more songs like The Middle I'd be loving life but they revisited 2 old songs after and nothing more from either band. Just need something new 👏

[@onil9732]

That ending is one of the most extraordinary things on earth

[@phillipLampe]

These guys are so ahead of the time with the message in the music its actually insane

[@higherperspectivephotography]

This really is a beautiful piece of music. The feeling of coming home in the last section is ecstatic.

[@jameshartley6669]

Seriously that outra makes me cry everytime I hear it! I'll just let it goooooo! An absolute timeless masterpiece. You guys should take a bow, I would love to see this live! Am I greedy? YESSSSS!

[@helenhatz8084]

This song gives me chills. Amazing ❤️

[@SUNBORN]

LYRICS of the last part of the song: I’ve been making my way to the finish line Like a hurricane racing to arrive I’ve been moving on Got a ticket home And what I leave behind I’ll just let it go I’ve been making my way To the finish line And it drips me on If I’m out of time I’ve been moving on, and I’m coming home Cause I realised what I didn’t know I’ve been making my way TOGETHER WE CAN TRANSCRIBE THE WHOLE SONG!!

[@liliinbloom8326]

WAYRA YESSSSSSS PLEAAAASSSSEEEEE

[@thealutnaratproject9699]

and it trips me up if im out of time i think it says

[@PeakResetProductions]

this tune is incredible!!!

in my humble opinion, ‘incredible’ is a massive verbal understatement (unless followed by multiple exclamation marks :) ). what Flynn and Luke, together with Troy here, have been producing across the years-also as C.O.G.-in terms of music, lyrics, sincerity, is-in my world-the top-most league of TOOL. not too many bands or musicians there.

[@Vool2go]

awesome aussie rock music was way before it's time! they seem more relevant for 2020!!

[@bonebrothpete7928]

IN COG & THE OCCUPANTS WE TRUST !!!!!!!!

[@Vool2go]

HOW can anyone not like this?

apparently, such beings do exist (nature has proven many times it has a rather skewed sense of humor) and i’m really curious about their reasons for investing the time and effort to express their dislike, even if all it’s taken was a single down-vote click. if one engages enough to let the world know they don’t like, i’d expect the dislike to be quite prominent. but still, in the end ‘de gustibus non disputandum est’…

[@draydyn7063]

greatest aussie band. No argument. fight me. They are (well this and COG)

[@jeffharris8535]

Draydyn the oils mate. Cog occupants awesome 😎 oils different time cog occupants now. Wow 😮

[@varunmummigatti1018]

Have u tried Karnivool ?

[@shauntaylor6175]

Them and Grinspoon, COG remind me of the 90s when music was awesum in Australia. 🤙

[@СирНикифор]

its .. its Perfect! never hear this band before....

LYRICS: (Suggestions appreciated!) Oh well, I always looked ahead rather than behind me I didn't understand nothing ever lasts me But I'm changing the tune and that's given me a new plan I'm back at the start again once upon a time and... I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far Yes I was walking with an off beat point of view And even Ravi Shankar knows it's true That I have found new life You see it's feeling that a change has come for free Rather like an old friend calling me Yes I have found new life Up and away, up and home Feeling I've arrived Up and away, up and home Wave my past goodbye How (did you get to tomorrow) (did you get there tomorrow) How (did you get to tomorrow) Up and away, up and home Feeling I've arrived Up and away, up and home Wave my past goodbye I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far I never stopped to look at what it took (just to get this far ) I never stopped to look at what it took (just to get this far ) Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took (did you get to tomorrow) Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took (did you get there) Oh well, I never stopped to look at what it took just to get this far (did you get to tomorrow) - Ooh, I've arrived, move on. Wave my past goodbye, so long Ooh, I've arrived Wave my past goodbye... ** background line, can't make it out ** I've been making my way to the finish line Like a hurricane racing to arrive I've been moving on, got a ticket home And what I leave behind, I'll just let it go I've been making my way to the finish line And it trips me up if I'm outta time I've been moving on and I'll do it whole 'Cause I've realised what I didn't know I've been making my way...

[@janolukac8444]

First of all... Many thanx for your version / attempt of lyrics. so far it sounds great Im not a native english speaker, so it is probably "bowsheet", but I believe that missing parts could go somehow like this: Yes I was walking without a big (or "peak") point of view (or maybe "a weak point of youth") And even had to change God knows its true These are just suggestions, so It could help.

[@hypodeemicnurdle]

And even Ravi Shankar knows it's true...

[@Rufus2000]

@@janolukac8444 I've always heard it as "yes I, was walking with an off beat point of view".

[@T00L337]

@@Rufus2000 I like it. Totally fits!

[@MrClayton217]

Thanks

[@theapologytourpodcast]

Oh well I always looked ahead rather than behind me I didn't understand nothing ever lasts But I'm changing the turn And that's giving me a new plan I'm back at the start again Once upon a time yeah hey I never stopped to look what it took just to get this far Oh I never stopped to look what it took just to get this far .... I don't now but surely we can finish the lyrics together!

[@Rufus2000]

I think it might be changing the tune, instead of turn.

[@nadiabu4588]

wow, what a voice... and the song overall is gorgeous!

[@simonturner3515]

This needs more love and people hearing it, is beautiful

I'm chomping at the bit for Sat 16th.. My eighth COG gig.. "I'm drifting.. around.. knowing.. And I drifted around knowing..... ... that we are all going to die".. The rhythm in the riddle puts the pedal to the medal its the middle of the puzzle The middle of the puzzle put the pedal to the metal it's the rhythm in the riddle The rhythm in the riddle put the pedal to the medal it's the middle of the puzzle The middle of the puzzle put the pedal to the metal is the rhythm in the riddle...

Check out Cog, Lucius Borich is a drumming god!

[@TheTherunningman247]

Awesome as always from these guys

[@aaronnorgate9775]

The best thing to come from the break-up of COG! (Haha, I was obviously not happy about that as were all fans) What an incredible song though, reflection is definitely mostly taken for granted. Hindsight is definitely 20/20. Love these guys!

[@rfalconator7896]

Probably my favorite track from this side project.

[@linleyyoung9119]

Cant believe its taken me so long to find this. Love it!

[@nliiz4606]

Thank you Troy Wright

[@ronmorris1151]

Great voice

[@noodlesmetal]

I love finding music on youtube

[@PanasonicTooth]

That outro is somehow the heaviest part of the song

[@daenerysadams6580]

+PanasonicTooth its worth the wait I agree

[@lukegilchrist2846]

It's astonishingly and hauntingly beautiful to say the least. I personally feel a real connection to the lyrics at the end, it almost makes me feel some sense of worth

[@simonturner3515]

Last couple of minutes is gold

[@volpe_sol]

This song is too fucking amazing not to be rocked more often. Why isn't the band out there trying to promote themselves?

[@TheDive99]

Yeah. Bloody trademarks.

[@rfalconator7896]

Where do I send m y money.

[@Vool2go]

we need a COG to keep it running guys...

[@rickyjp9086]

Shit, how did I miss this!

Cannot even purchase this anymore, not available to stream anywhere apart from this low quality (but much appreciated) youtube video. The website to buy the physical copy is broken and wont checkout any hope on finding a high quality download?

You guys should check out a cover of this song played by an excellent drummer Troy Wright ;)
