Los Angeles based progressive rock duo Days Between Stations have released a music video for their song \u201cWitness The End of the World\u201d featuring special guest lead vocalist Durga McBroom, who is best known for her work with Pink Floyd. The song was originally released in 2020 on their album \u201cGiants\u201d but due to the pandemic, the music video production was delayed, which turned out to be an unfortunately apt circumstance given the lyrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Video production by Erik Nielsen of Supposable Productions. Filmed in the deserts of Southern California and BandProd Studios in San Fernando, CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was very precise; in fact, he actually reminded me of working with David Gilmour. A haunting, timely tune. I\u2019m very proud to be singing on it. As for the video, my Goth Angel is a pretty striking look. It also honors my Native American heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sepand: \u201cI remember hearing this song that Oscar had written. I\u2019m always turned on to songs that become your companion through life, its notes and meaning altering with you through your path in life. When you feel the song is one thing it morphs into another. We filmed this video during the end of COVID\u2026 boy did it feel like the end of the world. I feel the apocalyptic imagery was inspired by how society and friends and family were all rattled by this disease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oscar: \u201cIt\u2019s no secret to anyone who\u2019s followed the band for a while that we sometimes focus on dark topics. Sometimes even before any lyrics are written, the mood of the piece will sort of suggest an image or a mood. I tend to draw a lot of inspiration from – and crib titles from – books and films. So, I had written a waltz that I was calling \u2018End of the World Waltz,\u2019 inspired by Anthony Burgess\u2019 \u2018The End of the World News.\u2019 I had started writing some lyrics for it, with a vaguely apocalyptic theme indirectly dealing with the many ways we seem to make the world hell for ourselves and other species, and then when my cat Matisse was diagnosed with cancer I had rewritten the lyric with the line \u2018it\u2019s not the end of the world,\u2019 which was what a not very sympathetic non-cat person had told me at the time, and I was thinking about how subjective that is and how what seems trivial to somebody can literally feel like the end of the world to someone else. In any case, I had never finished the lyrics, so when we chose to work on the piece together with Billy Sherwood for Giants, we rewrote the lyrics together and added a lot of the Greco-mythical material that tied it in with the rest of the album. It\u2019s interesting to work on lyrics as a trio. You would think it would be overly analytical and dry, but at least part of the time we managed to all three of us enter a sort of flow state where the ideas just seemed to, well, flow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWitness the End of the World\u201d released 2020 on the album \u201cGiants\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Days Between Stations Witness Promo Photo 2 med res.jpg<\/p>\n\n\n\n Days Between Stations with Video Production by Erik Nielsen \/\/ Supposable Productions The entire back catalog for Days Between Stations is back in print on CD: Also \u201cIn Extremis\u201d and \u201cGiants\u201d are available on vinyl.
