“It’s probably apparent that BIC songs tend NOT to be 3-minute singles! I love to let songs ‘go’ and see what happens. Even as a teenager, I used to turn up the volume as songs faded out to hear what was happening. “Orion” had sort of a “Kashmir” vibe to me; mostly due to Whitney’s middle-eastern style vocals in the middle section. I wanted to expand and play-off that with the guitars on the outro. We also had her ‘talk’ the verse lyrics to intertwine. When it came time for the video, the director felt that it would be difficult to hold interest in a 7-minute plus song, and add a lot more editing time with the ‘green screen’ footage. I don’t usually bend, but I gave in here as it was the best call. When it came time to finalize the running order of the vinyl, I was happy we had an edited version due to time constraints of both physical albums and CDs. I still enjoy this extended version and wanted to ensure it was released!” … Michael Ciravolo (Curator - BEAUTY IN CHAOS)

lyrics

In the belt of Orion

is a particular giant

Taller than the Everest

clouding up my headspace

We’ve all been here before

Beggin for change

And I’m still unsure

of his phases

Charming if nothing

He’s ultraviolet

There’s a careful calm

in knowing nothing

It’s the only way

I’ll get to you

In this delicate hour that

you’ve crushed and devoured

Does it know my intention?

for final ascension

Now, keep a straight face

It never was a game

I’m just a dot

in his formation

And I understand now

why Taurus shunned him

There’s a silent charm

In these glitter highways

they’re the only way

to run from you

I could rise like a pharaoh

from the still of the gallows

But I cling to the poison

Just to let all the noise in

and hide behind the face

Maybe i’ll escape

But i’m pleasured by his gazes

Stopping at nothing

to kill the violence

Save your own demise

from the stars half your size

you have bruised

Orion …
