Godsticks’ second single ‘If I Don’t Take It All’ sees the band embracing electronic elements adding even more texture to their signature identity. Exploring dynamics, the song moves deftly throughout its short run time, remaining accessible yet exploratory and acting as the perfect amuse-bouche for the album.
The track came about as an indirect impact of the pandemic - Darran Charles found himself immersed in TV shows during this trying time to find a way to escape from the void of live performance. Accompanying the song is the band’s new video which brings that sense of struggle to life. Darran Charles outlines here “It's about the struggles we all face every day and overcoming them - whether it's something a bit more dramatic and harrowing like the shows and characters I was inspired by, or the more personal, inner battles that every one of us will have to face at some point in our lives. It's about not giving in to anything, and each of us tried to reflect that determination in our performances."
The band elaborate further on the video for the new track as well - "We were able to film the video for 'If I Don't Take It All' at a really cool location, hidden away in Cardiff Bay. It was very dark and quite claustrophobic at times, but our videographers were able to create this amazing prison-like atmosphere that perfectly captures the tone of the song.” explains Charles.
If I Don’t Take it All Lyrics
Will I get there without pain?
When I get there what’s the game?
Then when I want to crawl away
I forget the rules we made
I don’t mind, just not the face
Careful you don’t fall out the race
While I’m here you’ll need to face
You’ve been put back in your place
If I don’t claim it all
I’ll find a way
I’ll find a way to make it
If I don’t take it all
I’ll return
I’ll make it work
Even though you tell me my mistakes
It don’t matter, some things I can take
Chasing the close is not OK
I don’t need telling I’m awake
How could it go wrong?
I need it, just be strong
I said it all along
How could I be wrong?

This single is even better than "Mayhem"! 9 out of 10. I love the way music and lyrics for these 2 singles are explained in the description. Very dark lyrical theme & well transferred negative mood to this eerie song. I have a feeling...this album is going to be a killer! Oh well, another CD I need to buy for my collection.
GREAT BAND PROG ❤🎸
Great track with a really tight and compressed production...I mean that as a compliment. It's got a great vibe.
Fun song to play through with some awesome lyrics! Love this!!
Excellent Guys 👍🏻

A real good prog song
It’s not prog. Just Nu-metal
@@benmech what a good joke 🤣🤣🤣
Nice vibe. The riffs are so good, little djent swing hits so good too. Voice is slightly too loud though
As with your previous video/song, some interesting changes. Sadly, something of less substance is going to get more notice. This is what we've become or maybe, what we always have been depending your place in the time scale.
