E-xport

E-xport is the first track on Covesthurs 2014 album Into The Mountain. Because of its placement as the first track on the first "real" Covesthur album is widely believed that this is the first song produced. This is not the case, as most tracks produced in the beginning years 2013-14 was produced at the same sessions and not released chronologically. More information about the more plausible chronological release order of Covesthurs songs check the article on the ''Legacy Albums. ''

Structure
This song has an A-B-C-A-B-C-A structure where each of these sections can further be divided into smaller sub-sections.

Section A
Section A can be divided into three parts. The first that happens in the song is the introduction of a bassline (look into tabs/transcription for more details) and a kick (sample list). The kick falls on the second and fourth beats on the bar. The bass falls on all four, only playing the root note of a scale and not depart from this druing the first 6 seconds. These first moments can be called A1. A2 then starts when there is an addition of a hi-hat and a change of the bassline.

Theme
In a place, in another time, in another space there is a person who wants to travel somewhere. Here he has the option of traveling in tubes under the ground. Imagine a hyperloop system that is global. This man goes down to the local station for tube traveling and sees the different possibilites, the different desinations. With an slightly higher price than what he plans to pay he may take a tube through the planets center. On this planet most places are easily available through this transport system. Getting from one side of the planet to the other is very easy and only takes between 40 to 50 minutes. The man thinks of the wonders of technology as he gets his ticket and walks to the place where he can enter his designated tube. He has choosen a more expensive tube which means he does not need to share with strangers, he can be alone in the small tube (which could hold up to four people). He is only going on a smaller local journey, it only takes around 2 minutes to get to the destination. He sits into the dim lit tube and soon enough he is going at a supersonic speed through the tubes, the lights through the tube window going by so fast that they became a psychedelic show.

(more details about the tube system is revealed in other works and songs, also other details about this world. These things are not important for this song in particular.)
