"Take The Sky" - KOZEN [MUSIC VIDEO]
We've got a 7 minute long song that switches up styles a lot. But we weren't trying to be obvious or jarring in those changes; the influences are fairly subtle. How would you classify each part? How many styles can you identify in our playing, in each section of the song and in each instrument? I'm not even quite sure myself. Let us know in the comments what genre this song is!
We are a rock band from Toronto, Canada, and we love the idea of bringing musicians from widely different backgrounds together to create something fresh. Our members have worked on music ranging as widely as Gospel, R&B, Pop-Rock, and Metal. We think this is a perfect representation of what it means to be from Toronto, and we hope it's enough reason for you to check out the rest of our music and get a taste of what we're about.

LYRICS:
Taken hostage from skies where I once flew
My heart is chained and my wings removed
Tethered to the earth, taking undesired root
The heavy fettered birth from seed to bitter fruit
For my wings I wait in the silence
Keeping my eyes trained on the horizon
When they bloom from me, I’ll fly away
I’ll take the sky, I’ll take the sky today
Sever the ties, the stitches that they used
To bind me down, to serve the ground
I’m ready now
For my wings to bloom
For my wings I wait in the silence
Keeping my eyes trained on the horizon
When they bloom from me, I’ll fly away
I’ll take the sky, I’ll take the sky today
Fly away
Run, and fall, and rise again
For no fall is ever the end
Lift me up to where I belong
Let the weak say “I am strong”
For my wings I wait in the silence
Keeping my eyes trained on the horizon
When they bloom from me, I’ll fly away
I’ll take the sky, I’ll take the sky today
No imprisonment to circumstance
Hope is endless
No destiny but liberty
Convalesce
Sever the ties, the stitches that they used
To bind me down, I’m ready now
To fly away
