===Song Credits===
Since the band's inception, they had tweeted cryptic images, varying from smashed glass to flowers. The pictures culminated in an image of fire followed by the band tweeting that something would be there in "a few minutes" on May 14th 2010.
About 2 hours later, the video for "The Space In Between " was released via Pichfork Media. The following day, the band updated their website, YouTube and Vimeo profiles with a hi-definition (480p, 780p and 1080p) version of the video.
A week later, the band released the [[multitracks]] for ''"The Space In Between''", along with the previous release ''"[[A Drowning]]''", on [[remix.nin.com]].
The guitar performance in this song was also featured prominently in an early teaser video which can be found [http://vimeo.com/11404399 here].

==Versions==
===The Space In Between (video version)===This is the only known album and video version. After opening with a looped drumbeat, ambient and delayed guitars enter, followed by a deep synth strings bassline and Mariqueen's softly-sung verse. The chorus features more guitars layered on top of the differing bassline and harmonized vocals, followed by a second verse characterized by echoing Swarmatron manipulations. Even more guitars enter for the final chorus, which builds its harmonies as it repeats twice, matching the building layers of guitars. The entirety of the song cuts off suddenly at the end of the second chorus repetition.===Between The Spaces===This is a remix version by [[Alessandro Cortini]] (as [[Related_bands_and_artists#SONOIO|SONOIO]]). It was released via HTDA's SoundCloud account and was performed live by HTDA on their debut tour.

==Lyrics==
All our blood lying on the floor
Sense the crowd expecting something more.
Opened up, proudly on display,
What we tried try so hard to hide away
Blinding light illuminates the scene
Try to fill the spaces in between
Arms entwined in a our final pose
Narrative drawing to a close
Still remain the things we couldn't kill
