Cult indie rock band Voom's new unifying single Everyone looks to the human condition and the deep attraction or yearning that is built into everything.

“I wrote this song after a
dream about the Big Bang. I saw the whole universe exploding from a singularity
in slow motion and all the particles were crying “Noooo!” with their hands out
towards each other as they got torn apart. I woke up and realised every atom in
the universe loves every other atom and wants to get back together. If you
leave two rocks floating in space they will start moving towards each other.
Humans are just complex versions of this and everyone has the same unquenched
longing built in from birth till death. You never get rid of it. You might
reduce it with love or spiritual connection so it doesn’t feel like you’re
apart from everything else but it’s there until the universe runs its course
and collapses together again. On the bright side that’s also the reason we
exist and the driving force of all life. Of course it was only a dream. “ — Buzz Moller
