Garcia wanted to mimic the feeling of “being isolated and disconnected from ourselves and each other”. The song’s feverish, disorienting energy builds and crashes throughout, matching the music with the ebb and flow of life. Clustered chords and time signatures find a way to unleash beauty amongst the chaos on “Pace”, before sinking into a groovy, yet frantic piano solo by pianist Joe Armon-Jones, backed by bassist Daniel Casimir and drummer Sam Jones.
