a gif of a wobbly skull looping with an infinite growth pattern.  concentric optical lines grow from around the skull in a counterchanging black, magenta, violet, and dark blue pattern.  above the skull's head is the word "Quantaphoria" the band's official name and this is their logo, glowing green and reflecting on the skull's head.

"Don't Hold Back"
6/8, 67 bpm, key bm & Fm with lots of modes, mostly blues.

Bm BbMaj7 Dmaj7 BbMaj7 G Bm Gb
There is a world where the lost are never found
Put your hands down, turn around
And hide your frown
Don't look around, Don't try to stand out
No matter what you hear,
Don't show your fear

Your time will come, you will feel it in your heart
When you break down, the walls
Your chains will fall
Become someone in a dream you think about,
*Don't hold back any more
Force open the door
Your path is yours

G. Listen to yourself
G. Listen to your heart screaming
Bm. We all need to get out
A. Put your hands down, turn around
G. No matter what you hear,
A. When you break down, the walls
G. Don't hold back any more

(Epic short guitar solo, just a taste of what is to come)

DMaj7. Look up at the stars in the sky
BbMaj7. They're on fire
DMaj7. Burning for billions of years
BbMaj7. We're inspired
BbMaj7. Getting higher
G. On desire
G. We are wired
Gb. To be fighters

Outro: EPIC fusion blues Guitar solo, carrying the song over 5 minutes, the idea of not holding back at all!
