FAWM: "10 000 years couldn't make this better"

10 000 years couldn't make this better

Liner Notes

As always the production and the song came very easy. The lyrics were inspired by one of my old songs that had a really personal take on me being unintentionally cruel towards my enviroment. So I changed the language to english and took a slight detour.

Lyrics

10 000 years couldn't make this better we're both so fragile, still under the weather we'll taste the magic, illusion of hope we're been here before, we know how to cope

We pay the price for the better or worse push the envelope, across the table negotiate when we're not able cross all the borders, lost the patience to change

Circle the wagons, get ready for more wolfs at the gates, you need to guard what is yours

// Come, It's only over when we say it is done heart on your sleeve and I'm holding a gun you wave your hand and moment is gone heart on my sleeve and I'm still feeling numb //

We left the air thin and quiet still something to fight for and fight over the door is open but we can't really stay or leave so much to do, but I'm not really here

There's still these days of clarity some moments of hope but I'm done looking through the windowpane you are really there but I'm not here to stay

// Stay, It's only over when we say it is done heart on your sleeve and I'm holding a gun you wave your hand and moment is gone heart on my sleeve and I'm still feeling dumb //

This is really intense. Great dreamy soundscape with lots of beautiful little details coming together perfectly. The main melodic motif is wonderful. Excellent writing with production chops to match.

Wow, i really love it! The Devil is definitely in the details. The mix is absolutely perfect. Love the gaze vibe! Awesome.

@mattwdunn 15h

Such a huge sound. Came here on a recommendation from @danxduran and this track did not disappoint. I love the Melodys, especially the chorus. The production is insanely great. Awesome stuff

I'm a sucker for some good shoegaze and this is some GOOD shoegaze! Love it, amazing work 👍

@jinx 21h

I'm digging the atmospheric vibe of this. Good lyrics too – that last chorus hits especially hard.

@betoMod 22h

So good! Amazing production for a song that feels like it belongs to a movie or my formative years -- hits like home.

@quru 23h

So much happening and it all just comes together. The composition, arrangement, theme, sounds, everything. Tehtaan takuulla.

@ltunes 23h

This is so BIG and beautiful. Love love. The melody is well done and goes well with your lyrics. NICE.

@nadine 1d

Im always happy and impressed to hear your production. What a great wall of dreamy guitars. The ahs are a sing along. Album, when?

@pumpkinhead 1d

You have no idea what it is like sitting here on the beach in Gokarna having my morning coffee and listening to this song. Mindblowing. Thanks 🙏 Massive production with such clever guitars all over the field. The lyrics are great going between inside and outside. Well done Kembole.

@coolparadisoMod 1d

woo hoo big production lifts off from note 1. everything is nicely in its right place. A real earful of music to listen to, my ears were buzzing in the phones. Great listen

@danxduran 1d

Epic sound - love to know what guitar setup you've got going on. I'm trying to place what band this reminds me of - it's just escaping me for the moment. A bit of Secret Machines in there, some Straitjacket Fits, and... nope. I'll have to get back to you. Love it though.

Thanks! I'm mostly looking at Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine. Playing a stratocaster, using a lot of whammy bar. I'm splitting the guitar signal into a mega Left overdrive (UAD Enigmatig (Dumble Overdrive Special) - Flanger, Overdrive, Reverb, Compressor) Left Clean: Neural DSP Tone King, Right overdrive Dream 65 (Fender Deluxe Reverb)(same stuff), Right Clean: UAD Showtime '64 (Fender Showman)

A few clean guitars, acoustic guitars and megafuzzy and raw leads.

@danxduran 19h

I have they UAD guitar stuff but never got it sounding like this! Nice work

@tykleton 1d

Love this, the chorus sounds absolutely massive, beautiful guitar tones and harmonies too

@namjunerobot 1d

Nice work, the song has great bones. Has a kind of effortless feel and flow that I like.

@greenfleamusic_55 1d

Big huge production! Interesting lyrical concept. Sometimes a great song comes from love gone bad.. well.. a lot of times actually 😊

@rshakesp 1d

That opening ahhh phrase is really lovely, and the way it kicks back in as a chorus type refrain is brilliant. I really like the way the guitar line wanders around through the verse. Fantastic harmonic diversion on ' you need to guard'. The dreamy feel you have achieved is really intense and captivating. Great song.
