The Occupants - I've Been Thinking

[@misspetaairini]

The degree of love I have for this song is completely unnatural and borderline psychotic.

[@levinkaukereit]

It aint psychotic to have good taste luv

[@kadunkachunk]

Here because Spotify doesn't have taste

[@kccoloursmusic8455]

It’s such a hypnotic and unique beautiful song. The way his vocals sore and resonate is just fantastic. I wish they pursued this direction/band further…

[@misspetaairini]

When they do, we'll be waiting. Maybe they've been thinkin..

[@jamesony]

How is this not more popular? It's so polished.

[@quenched56]

The kids are not ok..

[@TheMolestedgecko]

Love this song. Just wish it was on Spotify.

[@peptdi]

It is

[@michaelprobst5724]

It was & was taken off for some reason...not happy

[@Becksta80]

Came here to find it.. all these years later

[@yoaussiedm]

I think the only song of theirs on Spotify is Streets. An amazing song but I'm still disappointed that the other ones aren't there.

[@davidphilbey5861]

Me to ..cog in paris was awsome

[@andrewlockett4569]

Bloody hell, an obscenely fine song. A sleeper to be sure

[@DroverMadMusic]

So stoked that these boys are back! Never missed a Sydney COG show and the last couple of year's absence has left a massive void. It begins again, FUK YEAH!

[@requirezapen]

I miss cog seen then 10 plus times this is fresh his voice brings back good memories in cog we trust

[@ZachTes]

Wish this was on Spotify! Love this song

[@DOUBLETHEFIST]

It was for a while, it was removed at some point. Still seeing it in some of my playlists, greyed out makes me sad.

[@KarniTool]

His voice is somewhere between Phil Collins and Trent Reznor. Such Beautifull one !

[@daleo2536]

With a pinch of Peter Gabriel.

[@2010nijal]

Awesome song heavy, dark, industrial- with a hint of Genesis??

[@horatiofernandez9501]

Holy shit I need to clean myself up just at the thought of a 'reunited' Cog. 2013 music keeps getting better and better. That voice..my god that voice.

[@shizy1]

Can not get enough of this song

[@bradmarks5650]

It’s a beautiful thing, why can’t more ppl appreciate this

[@moolyland]

Just bought it! Great to finally hear this voice and music again!!!!! SO MISSED COG.

[@bud7945]

[@PeakResetProductions]

DAYAM, i love this voice so much!!! this voice is so friggin unique! I know people who do not like T.O. because of the voice, but i thing that is their USP!!! I love these guys!

[@KingdomOfApple]

So good to hear his voice singing some new material. Absolutely love the direction they've taken with this too.

[@Bitmaptiger]

Incredible, love it, can't wait to hear more! Big love to TripleJ for jumping on it.

[@tyleduden]

cant stop listening to this ,cog ruled , may this rule too

[@davidphilbey5861]

Paris

[@chrimic]

Totally! I just wrote a comment with a Peter Gabriel-eske ness about it...its totally true! love it even more because of it I think

[@kilala299]

Can someone provide lyrics? Can't find them anywhere. Also this is the best song I've heard in a long time.

[@matthewodonoghue4123]

Try floatingme kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmbUfH2mpZyFjtE&start_radio=1

[@Bitmaptiger]

I somehow keep finding myself back here..! CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE!!

[@grantpalmer85]

Loving it!.. missing cog but this is sick! Heard it on triple j this morning driving down the coast to work and it made the day!

[@dianasendt9509]

I think I was listening that morning too while walking to the station bout ,6.30ish

[@ricksterhd]

I love Cog and Tool. Definitely different bands, but Cog and now The Occupants captivate you just like Tool does. The music without a doubt is great, but it's the vocals that just bring it to the next level - in both bands. Very intense.

[@needlessdestruction]

Unreal song.. very catchy .

[@GentlyDownTheStreams]

I have my darling little sister to thank for bringing this project to my attention. Once again this team produce a quality product. I heard the police often in the syncopated percussive rythims of cog and played the new normal album till it died x2. I like this song and look forward to hearing more of this stuff. Cheers sis you must come visit some time. X

[@shaundevine007]

Sounds awsome, cog were awsome. Can't wait to hear more and see a live gig!

[@SinuousGrace]

I may have already commented on this, but I want more of this. Love the direction. The mix sounds really sweet in my headphones. I *WILL* purchase an EP or album (preferably a full album) from these guys. Big Cog fan here too.

[@rickybrookfield9895]

love this song!! that mellow part at 2.00 is so goooood!

[@chrimic]

Very glad to see the boys back (even though this song has a slight Peter Gabriel-esk melody in the vocals) its truly a sign of greatness!! Stoked to hear that industrial tinge on electric grunge, metal, prog, cog genre that we missed for so long!! buying now:)

[@willforward]

I have absolutely destroyed the replay button on this track. Amazing song. Album, please!!??

[@Damothelegendthebest]

This song is amazing. Welcome back boys

[@donkybongjr6448]

Thanks boys, ill make sure I remember you where ever I end up after here...

[@jaimedeleon3004]

I'm feeling it, real cool vibe they got here

[@hudsondale3181]

This is not on Spotify. Why?

[@evobeast]

I missed these guys...

[@Zildjian200]

Welcome back boys.

[@DroverMadMusic]

Please support the boys by buying this track on iTunes too. Let's make sure that they're back for good!

[@GetYaPinguOut]

Just picked up their tune off of itunes. Great song lads, keep it up.

[@andrewlockett4569]

The revisionist stance of the lyrics is refreshing in this genre of music. Optimistic rather than pessimistic. He has been thinking.

[@TheStimplefiend]

Thanks guys for continuing to make epic music.

[@YeOldeMistyLady]

Fantastic work can't wait to hear more from these dudes!

[@isarris]

Love this song! long way from the Hanging Tree at Nth Bondi RSL

[@jackiedavie6857]

Wow! I've been waiting for what seems like forever for new tunes to come out of these guys. Liking it very muchly. Dare I say that it's very Phil Collins/Genesis-y. Not at all what I expected, but pleasantly surprised.

[@jimmysando99]

Just because a band considers themselves a Prog rock band, does NOT, and I repeat, does NOT mean that they went out to copy Tool!!!!!

[@RyanEYE]

It also does NOT mean they have NOT been influenced by Tool’s sound. Much love to both bands!!!!!

[@theapplekingdom5493]

I love Tool, but unfortunately so many bands are compared to them, or, "sound like them," when they have LITERALLY nothing in common beaides being prog. That shit pisses me the fuck off....

[@brobbo9379]

Genius Boys. So good.

[@geta5554]

these guys are amazing

[@thelanguageofthebirds]

love this

[@fattox4189]

This is seriously fucking amazing.

[@MrMattyrogers]

Wicked song good work lads love the new sound Good to hear that voice again Rocking !

[@Riggor]

Bit of Peter Gabriel in that I reckon!!!! Awesome

[@fku2nthen]

It's fkn sik to hear to hear something new and different from Flynn and Luke. All systems go..check.....Time to RIP! Has a lost boys vibe.... :)

[@SinuousGrace]

Fantastic!

[@sullivanfilms2231]

That was wicked !!

[@sophielewis8689]

Omg I loooooove this!!!!!

[@yourebloodyjokin]

This is perfectly awesome! I totally love this

[@youknuckle]

Once a day.. I love you guys.. wish there was more. Your obligation as a creator is to output, and not judge. Just create.

[@ANDESFREECANAL]

muito bom como :::COG::: esse trabalho e de alta qualidade belas melodias rifs perfeitos parabéns

[@TheFoxandGrapes]

Oh wow this is some really good stuff!

[@Wodderick79]

Awesome!

[@JoaoNeto-ij1ih]

Am I the only one who gets depressed when their songs end?

[@AngelaJa]

I missed COG. This is awesome and i know it's gonna get even better! Loving it!! ♥

[@ChannelTUT]

Come on we need an album - NOW

[@Arnot73]

Outstanding Brother!!!!! :)

[@daenerysadams6580]

great stuff..as per

[@karnivoolrockman]

legends !

[@Crypzooboi]

2010nijal yes a hint of Genesis I was thinking the same! its brilliant, awesome track

[@neutralise]

Fuck i feel at home listening to this stuff... you guys r fucken amazing...

[@RetroGamerr1991]

It's like if Tool and Genesis had a baby

[@kalebdeckard4291]

I was just thinking that. he sounds like Phil Collins.

[@Blackeye808]

Ministry and Genesis

[@alifathali]

Hahah.. one strange looking child at that.. Phil Maynard Collins

[@KarniTool]

More NINE INCH NAILS and GENESIS Trent Reznor and Phill Collins

[@Cuzjudd]

And Depeche Mode

[@andrewlockett4569]

and the Cog's association with Tool came through having the same Producer on one of their albums, Sylvia Massy, who worked on 1993's Undertow. But, different sound here of course.

[@lizjohnson4904]

I know, but isn't it just awesome?!!

[@augflaw]

Troy Wright. He does lots of drum covers on youtube. They are pretty awesome.

[@IamtheWV17]

I actually got that vibe particularly early in the song.

[@TheRuVedicChannel]

Ive been thinking an album would be great soon ay guys...

[@bdoran5202]

siiiiiiiiiickkkkkkkk

[@inquisitivesaffa]

oh yes!

[@101Lileagle]

Holding on

[@mercurysaffliction]

If you cant hear the genesis/pete gabriel influence hear you need your arse cleaned out....this reminds me of the up tempo section on a genesis track distant light.....vocal wise it howls pete gabriel....but let me tell you these boys have a style of their own....I dont know of any vocalist in Australia that has this unique sound.....Cog howled far too many commercial tracks that just stained commercials and advertisement...never sell your song for any advertisement I say...leave the jingles department to fuckwits who cant cut it in the real musical world....Another point of note...the drums on this track are played by Troy Wright.....a teacher of drums etc in Brisbane Australia.....check his stuff on you tube.....extremely unique....I hope he remains a part of this process if the occupants continue.

[@samblah]

All music is advertisement though, its all about spreading your creation and showing your potential, why would an artist not want to be recognized for that? Fans off music need to understand this, 'selling out' is not a real concept.

[@bulletinthewind]

COG….Commercial….? Nice one dummy.

[@Bloodynine606]

I think cleaning your ears out may have a better result. But ok man.

[@Demonspeeding100]

I actually thought these guys were Genesis when I first heard them. But what is the problem with that anyway? They sound good and breath some like into a proven sound!

[@nathandublya]

I get what your saying rodney newell I really do but I think in this day and age anyone can claim to make 'music' so it's a competitive world out there for musicians that are truly passionate about their art and in order for that to be heard then I think it's necessary to do things like allowing your song be part of a commercial or advertisement. If it can capture an audience even a small audience then it's a success in terms of the flow on effects from that. Even The Occupants have caught on to the fact that the 70's/80's sound is a hit and extremely fucking pleasant mind you and are writing some absolutely a grade music. I love it and I love music but I personally believe that there is another part to being current in the competitive music industry and I think that smart musicians like Flynn and Luke are able to maintain that by being smart and still making music that you can feel they are passionate about. I'm gutted I wont get to hear another COG album as I thought they were destined to be fucking massive and fucking love their message but it's great to still hear these guys making rad music.

[@tltltl_17]

i missed the name and artist of this song on triple J so when i tried to find it in the playlist i searched for Phil Collins :D

[@dianasendt9509]

Lol

[@xanarax6250]

Phil Collins with a 2010's vibe.

[@rfalconator7896]

I need more COG now.

[@88mattytaylor]

Unreal. So fucking good

[@dannenphilip]

Wow,my life seems different now. around 5 minutes ago I had such a powerful respect for these artists,from the very beginning of COG to their captivation of a nation. Now how is THIS possible?? Still FULL respect to these amazing individuales,but i've got to say what the fuck?

[@TheDive99]

I can hear this fade out into "my enemy". Oh shit I might do that.

[@MindControlProtocol]

Never really liked Cog, and never really liked the 80's sound but for some reason I really like this song. Watsupwiththatshit?

[@flynngower3027]

Time for Wonderland stinkfistington...

[@Haydaus]

Done =)

[@ninjaS74R]

Quality

[@lllchaostheorylll]

New this was cog the moment I heard it

[@nickgotts7913]

thought the same thing, leaning towards the peter gabriel half of genesis though!

[@themayor086]

agreed

[@davidcmahone]

Holy shit I just found this, whoa

[@Boneo1977]

Sounds like Cog meets Phill Coillns in a battle of Prog Rock epicness...

[@AlexanderMininDR]

Vocal - like PHIL COLLINS!=)

[@adsensedd]

...and Peter Gabriel. Great sound.

[@thetoranaking78]

Love your new songs but you should have named the band Incognito.

[@KingdomOfApple]

thetoranaking78 Haha, smart thinking.

[@cardslip]

The 'stro at the University of New England 2006 Cog and Shihad.

[@TheRichard991]

But I recognise I'm not alone.

[@jamesbutler2987]

Great song. This sounds a bit like Phil Collins as well. Especially the drumming.
