This song is not in a battle


***HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED***

This is a guitar melody that I came up with and then gently played over the top of.
The words are to a poem that I wrote years ago, and I decided to add it to the music, but I didn't really want them to be the focus, or detract too much from the music itself, so I tucked them into the song to basically provide an emotion and feeling that wouldn't otherwise be there.
Some people might say "turn up the vocals" because you may have a hard time telling what I'm saying. Well, just think of them as another instrument providing subtle feel to the track. It's not about the vocals themselves, so just sit back and take in the whole thing as a whole...
But if you're nitpicky about it, here's the words anyway for you. Enjoy.

I sat for the seeking
And thought for the thinking
I twice went there and back before you registered
The surface tension feeling
The life beneath that's breathing
Ignore or briefly entertain
The depth within this flow
I laughed for all the soaring tones
That feedback into what I'd grown
I haven't felt a better way
Sift the sand day after day
Reassuring warmth from the strength that's built
Of disciplined, conscious reality
Should I slow down
Or are we out of time
I breathed for the memory
Asleep, I felt eternity
It curled up deep inside of me
I then knew what i was to be
Don't drown in intangible inexistence
Life is washing over the mind
In front of my eyes
In front of our eyes
Avert to flee their sacred lies
In seeking I found to lose the disguise

Damn dude once again I love they way you mix and layer your music!! I like how you take a simple guitar riff and turn it into something beautiful. I would say slightly lower the effect on the vocals and bring them up. just enough to make out the words without headphones but even if you don't change a thing it's great!

Not pinickerty..........
love the soundscape...........
but as the (you) composer..........think the lyric not important to hear then why tell everyone what it is????
why not just leave us all listening harder??

might have a greater effect???

 

good idea...................dulled by providing lyric.......thereby removing ????? of listener.......

washed over
I love how suttle everything is. It so precious like chi and the flow of water. I picture rain drops and watching them in bullet time with the splashing drowning out all my worries.

cheers!
