  • Forging Nations LIVE! CD
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Compact Disc of "Forging Nations LIVE!" featuring sleeve artwork by Brian Kovacs.

    This is The Cyberiam's LIVE performance from ProgStock 2019 on October 13th, 2019. Includes "The Butterfly Effect" performed in its entirety plus selections from their debut album!

    By many considered the highlight and biggest surprise of ProgStock Festival 2019, this is the complete concert recorded live and showing the band playing many of their greatest songs, among those fan favorites like Nostalgia and Don’t Blink along with the 21 minute epic The Butterfly Effect. This concert is a must have for fans of the band and a everyone in attendance at ProgStock 2019, as well as a great entry point for new fans and fans of well written and well performed rock in general.

    “The biggest surprise of ProgStock 2019 (for me, at least) came on Sunday morning, when Chicago quartet The Cyberiam channeled influences such as Dream Theater, Tool, and Porcupine Tree into wildly tight, dynamic, and gripping compositions. Images of nature, B&W
    faces, candles, spiders, and more adorned their sophisticated, slightly futuristic pop/rock odes of social commentary, with the highlights being the epic “The Butterfly Effect” and the Doctor Who-inspired “Don’t Blink.” – Jordan Blum/The Prog Report

lyrics

Do you remember when we were kids?
When you smashed your face right above your eyelid?
It never even crossed your mind at the time
That you could have died or ended up fucking blind!

Remember when we all went to Magaluf?
We discovered Dream Theater and Ryan drank 100 proof
A “what would Jesus do” bracelet covered in sick and bile
He never lived that down, but I think about it once in a while

Seemed like endless teenage summers at the club
hitting tennis balls then sneak into the pubs
Remember we kept stealing all those cans of lilt?
We never got caught, and I still don’t feel any guilt

If I could go back to a year it’s 17
Life was close to perfect all be it a little green
Mesmerized as I learned human evolution
Or the 1940’s jewish persecution

We camped out that night in Magheramorne quarry?
Now that’s where they film the Game of thrones story
Bill and Ted was better than any mans religion
Be excellent to each other while we’re living

And so my childhood friends have mostly drifted away
Nelson, Craig, Andy, Ryan, Toad, Mark and Wiley
At least social media helps provide me with the means
To see what my friends have become since we were teens
Now I’m twice the age I was since my favourite year on earth
But nostalgia skews my hindsight.
Admittedly the years have been progressively better not worse
And so I hope my daughters have the youth they deserve
Fill their lives with memories and moments in reserve
I’ll jealously relive my youth vicariously through their eyes
And hope I live to hear their children’s cries, and then do it twice
