The end result is a track that draws inspiration from Monster Magnet&#8217;s space rock\u00a0and The Brian Jonestown Massacre&#8217;s hazy spirituality while also cutting out its own hypnotic zone. The song begins with blocks of reverbed and distorted guitar, placing\u00a0the listener in a futuristic, almost sci-fi atmosphere. It&#8217;s grungy and dreamy, with a deep\u00a0atmosphere. As vocals enter the mix, a surprise change occurs: the melody develops, acting as an emotional antithesis\u00a0to the strong\u00a0guitars. There&#8217;s a slight energy here, a push and pull that reminds me of power ballads, but darker, angrier, and mixed with 1990s-style psych-rock habits. At 2:09, the song reaches its highest point with a short nevertheless catchy\u00a0guitar solo. It&#8217;s not flashy, but it doesn&#8217;t need to be\u2014its psychedelic sounds and dreamy sound enhance the track&#8217;s state of mind, leading the listener through a melodic path\u00a0that stretches the sound spectrum before the vocals return. That final section hits with a honest\u00a0message, as the lyrical refrain, &#8220;I want you by my side,&#8221; emerges like a\u00a0confession through the cloud of fuzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tombstones In Their Eyes - By My Side\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tzrxIAwXy00?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Asylum Harbour&#8217; album order:  <a href=\"https:\/\/kittenrobot.com\/playlist\/tite-asylum-harbour\">https:\/\/kittenrobot.com\/playlist\/tite-asylum-harbour<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: photo by Karin Johansson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tombstonesintheireyes.com\">https:\/\/www.tombstonesintheireyes.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tombstonesintheireyes.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/tombstonesintheireyes.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TombstonesInTheirEyes\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TombstonesInTheirEyes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With &#8220;By My Side,&#8221; Tombstones In Their Eyes create a moving, fuzzy trip into the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27000,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[760,1608,829],"class_list":["post-26999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-space-rock","tag-stoner-rock","tag-tombstones-in-their-eyes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26999"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27001,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26999\/revisions\/27001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
