We Pass Unseen
*

This song is not in a battle


This song was inspired by a paragraph in the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.   Basically I felt amazed at how we all pass through each others lives both actively and passively and how even seemingly insignificant events can influence our lives.  So the components are simple, much like the scene that the lyrics illustrate.  Also, I love calling attention to scenarios that we usually conduct on "auto pilot" because if you look you can find inspiration anywhere.  Let me know what you think :-)

Welcome here on bandamp!
This is an impressing debut.. Very atmospheric & relaxing . Chord changes are really interresting and well chosen.. Ya git play is error-free , too.
There two small points to criticize:
1. For my personal taste I would add some higher freqs on the git and vox to give more transparency and clarity to the mix . Maybe I can understand the lyrics better. (can you write the lyrics here ?)
Autotune is a nice effect (SOMETIMES) but it makes it difficult to understand lyrics.
2. The background noises (train , "feeping".....) are distracting a bit cuz it happens through the whole song .
Fazit: this makes a relaxed feeling to me .  Good composition

My goal with this one was to call attention to the guitar because I thought it had a  nice circular piece.  The noises in the background are  some sort of effect on a tamborine.  What you called the autotune is actually a reverb effect though I do see what you mean.  Perhaps some high female harmony might also add some higher freq?  I think it would be cool to add a second guitar to put some higher freq. to balance the low, thanks for the comment! Here are the lyrics:

Standing in a line of ten
Waiting to buy some bread

The cashier seems upset
The customer seems upset
But I remain the same

Don't lose yourself
In the life you live

We pass unseen
We pass unseen
We pass

And I am merely passing by
And I am merely passing by

Tnx for the text . Itīs short , crisp and...............................true.
Must have to do that we are too many people living on too small places . Weīre not able to pay attention on everyone we meet. We would going nuts.
What I said about higher freqs I didnīt mean to add another instrument or a fem vox . ( but might be nice , too) I`ve meant it due to EQing . The git sounds a bit īdamped` to me . But itīs just my personal impression.
Apart from that I like the atmosphere much
