“The Pace” by 5th PROJEKT – A Song Feature

 

      It’s appropriate for a song with the title “The Pace” to establish a momentum within the first seconds. The bass and drums drive the intro of the single from 5th PROJEKT, while the guitars provide texture. The voice of Tara Rice enters after 37 seconds, and the song is fully launched. The pace does vary. There is a temporary deceleration around the two-minute mark. And there is a powerful guitars-built crescendo during the final minute.
 
     5th PROJEKT is based in Toronto, Canada. Its core members are Tara Rice (vocals) and multi-instrumentalist Sködt McNalty. For “The Pace,” McNalty plays electric guitar, e-bow, fuzz bass, and synth. The drums are by David Pake, but in concert Rice and McNalty are joined by Peter Broadley (bass) and Jeremy Oram (drums).
 
     The latest EP of 5th PROJEKT is “The Wolf,” which features an almost nine-minute version of “The Pace” as one of four songs. The band identifies” The Wolf” as the first of three EPs:
   “This trilogy of EPs was inspired by 40 days of walking together under the Milky Way along ley lines of the Camino Santiago de Compostela, (also known as The Way of The Goddess, or simply, The Way) and the Camino Finisterre (which literally means, the end of the world). One of the many lessons learned along The Way was ‘know thyself’ which includes limitations. This lesson is why the musical dynamic duo asked their friend and previous live drummer, David Pake, to join them in the studio to record 'The Pace.'”

Lyrics of “The Pace” by 5th PROJEKT
All the dreams lead here to being
All thoughts bear weight
And here we go now on our way to somewhere
Lost inside old words
 
When the foot once moved
We moved by
And the mind was here
And the path was now
 
One look before you, now off you go
Into the sunset and its wake
Walk on forever, walk on forever
Walk on forever
 
Wrap yourself in darkness, begin at dawn
Leave all your worries
This is the beginning, what worlds will you fare
This is your story
 
Look beyond the glass
Feel the time pass
Pass the trees by
Wonder how time flies so fast
 
We are on our way
Night becomes the day
Light becomes our way
And orchestrates the pace
 
The pace [Repeating]
