about

Can't Pretend to Know: anchored by a flamenco-inspired, lightening speed 6-string bass strumming and slapping part that would make Stanley Clarke's head spin, this pop-oriented track with moody vocals also manages to achieve wide audience appeal and employs a super catchy hook.

lyrics

I can't pretend to know
Where you and me will go
I can't pretend to know
Where we are gonna go

She, sitting and waiting; he, anticipating
Hesitant conversation, neither sure what they're saying
He imagines forever, she can't decide whether
All the risk of the gamble, benefit of the playing

He said
I can't pretend to know
Where you and me will go
I can't pretend to know
Where we are gonna go

La, laya da da daya
La, laya da da daya

We design our own future, the lives that we manufacture
Elements, when assembled, make for joy or disaster
Can you be anybody, practice well enough to be?
Are we able to be our own servant and master?

She said
I can't pretend to know
(I can't say where we will end up)
Where you and me will go
(not a thing that's clear to me)
I can't pretend to know
(I can't say how we will fare this time)
Where we are gonna go

I can't pretend to know
(I can't say where we will end up)
Where you and me will go
(not a thing that's clear to me)
I can't pretend to know
(I can't say how we will fare this time)
Where we are gonna go

Combinator Seattle, Washington

Combinator melds melodic progressive metal, synth-funk, soulful vocals, and glitchy breakbeat electronica into a dizzying, post-futurist dreamscape. Schizophrenic, yet born of an overall cohesive vision, the outfit is at once funky and ornate; the auditory distillation of one man - Sean Fairchild's - wildest melodic hallucinations. ... more
