Stash was looking for lyrics and a singer for a songe he had done so I figured what the hell.

This is still a work in progress but coming along.
Mixing vocals into the stereo track.

Stash98 has not heard it yet. Must be tired up.

listen here.


any comments on the vocal mix are appritiated. Have some Ideas I am going to try & I have another backup track to record.

Lyrics


White Noise


Stored up inside of me
The words of all mankind

Something is haunting me
That I can’t leave behind

As if it matters now
Words spoke when we were young

But time moves slowly in my head
Your aging words are still not dead

(chorus)
I tried to save myself
But found it over rated
Grant me a silent mind
Where lies are not debated

You spoke with reverence
As if it changes what you say

Promised deliverance
But you your self don’t know the way

Pointed your arm stretched out
As if you’d found a brand new day

Your crooked finger held no truth
It served to rob me of my youth

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
Swelled up inside my neck
These words that will not go away
White noise that’s held in check
But muffles everything I say
Tried hard to quiet them
But only died a bit each day
They set the price of sin
And count the debts I can’t repay

(repeat chorus to fade out)

I tried to save myself
But found it over rated
Grant me a silent mind
Where lies are not debated

I tried to save myself
But found it over rated
I’ll build a silent world
Where Time can heal the fated



Thanks for the listen.

F.S.
 
updated mix slightly, still the same link.
Think the lead vox ma be abit to hi, but it's hard to mix your self.

F.S.
 
Pretty cool man....vocals are sweet....nice job. Voice is powerful. Nice rock tune....seems to be well mixed.
 
FROOD DOOD,
An almost totally excellent lyric - I can't get my syntax/grammar/poo laden head around "...words spoke..." though.
A very good performance from you too. The story in the lyric is ACE
"Grant me a silent mind
Where lies are not debated" simply BRILLIANT.
You deal with the tempo change well too.
The music is quite good too - I sensed you enjoyed moving away from your own stuff a little bit.
Vox are crystal clear at present but would probably be buried a little more if in keeping with the genre. the lyrics do deserve to be heard but then again perhaps deserve to be discovered even more.

Words spoke.. ehhh:D Well spoken would throw off the phrasing:)
And "words said or uttered" just doesn't do it. This is a case when ignorace is bliss and I am a very blissfull chap at times:D

Thanks very much forthe input and comments!

I agree on the vox. on the last tweek I bumped up the hi shelf quite a bit on the lead vox. I should have pulled the level down on the track to compensate.
It is a fine line though.

Edit..... I do enjoy stepping into other music:) fun stuff. Sometimes challanging.

Thanks again.

Just outside of portland, but there's alot of that. I am 30 miles north of portland on the Columbia river in a town named Saint Helens.
Would be cool to meet you if you came around. I am very close to Scappoose & Columbia City.

Thanks again for the comments.

Never heard of Bent Rabbit;) but if you go threw portland and stay on the Oregon side you will pass threw St Helens on the way to Astoria.
I go quad riding about 15 minutes from Astoria in the coast range all the time.



Let me know if you come this way.

F.S.

Wow. Wish I could take even half the credit ;) Stash needs to take a bow if he ever comes around :o

Thanks man.

time to get the quads on the trailer. See you all later

F.S.
 
Great job FS. Sounds like the two parts (vocals/music) were made for each other. I love up front vocals, but I can dig where Ray's coming from, they should come down a tiny bit to suit the genre. Good choice of words, phrasing and harmonies. Stash did a great job writing the music - it's structured well. Cool playing Stash - and nice writing too....

:D :) :D :)
 
Wow thanks guys, I am really sorry that I have not been on, but I have been at a music conference and am running on 4 hours of sleep! It's nice to login and see a song cranked out! Very cool stuff man...and in Freuds defense, he was mixing into a 2 track i sent him of the song that was already averaging -10dm RMS, so I think he did a real good job.

Hey Stash. Ya I have a bit more work to do.
I did a bit of expansion on the stereo track to mix my self into it;) I was amazed when I opened the file that it sounded as good as it does with the signal that hot. It showed 0 in a few places. Nice dynamic tune though so you don't get a monotonously loud feeling from it. And it doesn't sound overly compressed in the loud sections either.

I have a few more tweeks I want to do on it and I will replace the file. I'm thinking of a flange or distortion effect on the bridge vocals where I sort of talk them out.

How do you feel about the vocal levels over all?

Anyway. It was a fun one to work on:) I like the feel it has. Did you use a oscilating pad of some sort on this? There is sort of a cool vibration going on in there in the chorus area.

Ido1957, THanks for the input. I am looking at bringing the lead vox a hair down. Just a tad.

JPW37, Thanks for the listen.

Got to go shower. Just back from kissing mother nature;)
