Phish released Evolve, their first new album in four years, and performed the title track on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
The lyrics to "Evolve" appear to tell a story told from the point of view of God.
"I paused a moment once in time, before the sun began to shine, to weigh the choice I had to make, and therein lies my first mistake. Me second came just after that, to keep the solar discus flat and make the planets scurry around" the rock band sang. "The math required was quite profound. And now it's mountains, streams and plains, 10,000 creatures, none the same."
The song, like the others on the album, was inspired by the group's live shows.
Evolve, which is the group's 16th studio album, was released just days ahead of their Summer Tour, which begins July 19, and includes 26 dates."The song craft and production are confident and taught, with Phish's distinct musical language on vivid display," a post on the group's official Instagram reads. "Still pushing boundaries, still very much continuing to evolve."
The clip of their Tonight performance quickly attracted hundreds of comments with many loyal fans weighing in.
