“Searching…” is a dark, hypnotic track in the middle of the “Tetrachromacy” suite that looks at what the protagonist of Polygondwanaland wants: to ascend to the level of a god by seeing “the fourth colour.” At the end of the track, that’s exactly what they get. The song is the calm before the storm, a moment to breathe before heading right into the ascendant chaos of “The Fourth Colour.” The song was recorded by Stu at Flightless HQ and was released on November 17th, 2017.
Despite coming from one of the band’s most beloved albums, “Searching…” has never been played live. It may have been planned for their 2020 shows based on Joey’s “Sea of Trees” playlist, but Stu has stated his disappointment with the track. When asked if it would ever be played live before the premiere of the music video for “Dreams,” he responded with “Searching is kind of boring.” As of now, “Searching” is the only Polygondwanaland song that hasn’t been played live.
