Song Review: “Days of Babel” by David G Smith | A Rock Discovery
Music Review:
““Days of Babel” by David G Smith unfolds as a slow-burning rock meditation, where passion simmers rather than explodes. The melody moves in an undercurrent, unsettling without raising its voice, creating a tension that feels constantly on the verge of breaking. The vocals, captivating and emotionally charged, act as a conduit for that energy — not in a showy way, but with a quiet, persistent force. The rhythm flows relentlessly, carrying a subtle sense of unease that never fully resolves, leaving the track suspended in a state of charged, ongoing anticipation.”

Lyrics of David G Smith – Days of Babel
Hear the sound, here it comes
Like the beating of a 1000 drums
Many voices many tongues
Can’t hear a thing above the rabble
Social media hate or love her
Say your piece and run for cover
Can’t even understand each other
Like in the Days of Babel
Livin’ like in the Days of Babel
The tower crumbling into gravel
Look at all the ways
We’re livin’ like in the Days of Babel
Watch a screen, watch what crawls
Twitter mobs and Facebook brawls
Spewing hate and vitriol
In a dangerous battle
Family and friends erased
Can’t even talk face to face
What a world, what a waste
Like in the Days of Babel
Is there a way we do better
Is there a thread we string together
That won’t unravel like it did in the Days of Babel
