When the world presses against the glass and the pace of modern living turns relentless, the only true remedy is stillness. “We All Need Space” sets Marcus Hobbes’ expansive, cinematic arrangements alongside the intimate, velvety vocal presence of Riley Via. Warm Rhodes chords, hushed percussion, and gentle acoustic layers unfold like a quiet sigh at dusk, offering a moment of pure decompression. It is a song about stepping off the crowded road, softening the pressure, and honouring the distance required to heal and reflect.
Serving as the lyrical opening chapter to a three-part conceptual EP, the track introduces an evocative journey that flows directly into two companion instrumental works, “The Final Front” and “The Final Rear”. Together, they frame personal recovery as the ultimate horizon to explore. Settle in, leave the hurry behind, and let the gentle expanse wash over you.
Lyrics – We All Need Space
Space.
Space.
Space.
Space.
The world is pushing hard against my glass
Everything is moving way too fast
Sitting on a bench but floating high
Watching all the heavy clouds roll by
If I do not get a moment to unwind
The pressure starts to tangle in my mind
It is a crowded road, it is a heated place
We all need space, just a little room to breathe
A little distance from the things we leave
Before the red balloon begins to pop and tear
Give me a second in the open air
We all need space
It´s the final front.
It´s the final rear.
Space and infinity are nothing to fear!
Space.
Space.
Space.
Space.
Do not follow close behind my heels today
The heat is rising if you block the way
The safest distance is a quiet gap
We all need space, just a little room to breathe
A little distance from the things we leave
Before the red balloon begins to pop and tear
Give me a second in the open air
Back off the line.
Let us slow the rush.
We all need space before the final push!
