Part 4 of the "story behind the song" series is of course about track 4 from the debut E.P.  The reason for the name and the theme of the lyrics was taken from the general feeling I got when listening to the music which had been composed during an early experiment.  As the music came together and all the acoustic elements were added I began to sense a feeling of something very intense yet secretive, something lurking but still out of sight and ready to pounce at any moment.

This led  me to start working on some lyric ideas based on this theme and it quickly became clear in my mind that only one word could describe what I was envisioning when I heard this and that word was "stealth". 

The lyrics don't refer to any particular thing or situation but instead are abstract generalizations about things that you aren't aware of that sneak up on you and turn your life upside down and also about my own situation - which is probably not that different than that of a lot of people - where I sometimes feel that I am a bit "invisible" and existing "under the radar" whether I want to or not. 

I get a bit of a sentimental feeling for 80's synth scores in TV and film when I hear it but I think the vocal part takes it to a different level and kind of "mondernizes" it.  The retro feel wasn't really intentional but I guess it just shows how my influences from that period are sneaking through into this music.
