The band itself started simply enough: Eddie and Bean, guitar and drums, two guys making instrumental music together. Six months later, bassist Oj joined, and the connection was immediate. The trio eventually christened themselves the āCosmic Triangleā, which is exactly the sort of wonderfully dramatic name I expect from a psychedelic instrumental band wandering around the New Mexico desert.
And for nearly nine years, the triangle held.
And āMarianneā feels like the beginning of yet another version.
Itās haunting, cinematic, strangely danceable, and emotionally heavy. Grianās baritone sits over it like a ghost, while the lyrics and instrumentation leave just enough unanswered that Iām still wandering around my little haunted house looking for clues. Add the music video, the emotion surrounding Trev, and the story of how this song found its place on the album, and āMarianneā feels like far more than just another single.
It feels like a doorway.

The necessary Brick in the Wall to hold our foundation into manifestation of these Visions. And so, if my memory serves me well? I would say that I am pretty sure Mooney was not a fan of Melinoe upon first impressions. I cannot say I am surprised by that. Iām an Aquarius. I am not always as I seem to be in this dream. However, as many Green Days as I have had? I cannot be certain I have all the details properly lined up. How accurate are these memberberries? Accurate enough to come from the heart. For all I do remember? We had this Western Drama Shoot Out Moment. Her shock when she discovered I was a fan of Green Day (The Band, not the Herb. Although that bond matured in ethical timing), it was a monumental moment that blew Mooneyās mind. We became Best Friends, ready to do Karate in the Garage. Because I too was dumbfounded by the fact that she too LOVED Green Day

“Fenian”, a term that has historically been used, often derogatory, to describe Irish nationalists and republicans. Over time, however, the word has come to symbolize a big āfuck youā to the British government.

Not only coming from an Irish family, but coming from a story of self-preservation.Ā
