*I am having a lot of trouble with Reaper, getting levels, pans, rendering - no idea what is going on but I can't fuss with it any more. Hoping the next song doesn't have these issues.
Lyrics
They called for snow; the sky is clear The air is still; it’s quiet, calm, severe Behind your eyes: a dark frontier Expressionless, your countenance austere I will brace for the volley
We deal the deck; we set the place The two of hearts, the knives, the cups, the plates No discussion, no debate You and I: a constant steeplechase They shoot horses, don’t they?
In my dreams I’m waiting for the deluge A blizzard that will blanket all the world Put us all to bed Sleepy people-heads Are lost and dispossessed
A winter’s breath; a cool cocoon I’ll hibernate within this white waiting room A draft composed, un nom de plume I’ll be the storm, the water, the sonic, the boom I will come down like a comet And set it all on fire
In your dreams you’re waiting for the deluge A blizzard that will blanket all the world And tuck us all in bed Oh sleepy people-heads It’s time to wake instead

Great lyrical ideas. I love the constant steeplechase they shoot horses don't they. I wondered if you could let me know the chords and I could put a (subtle) bass part to it for my own listening if you don't mind. Gorgeous.
Sure! Let me know if you want me to send you the track. I think it needs a lot of work. Just a 3 chord tune. The verses are just GCGCDCG and the choruses CGCGDCG.
Love the tempo Cyndy, great words Well done
Thanks Lee!
I dig this track a lot. The snaps and claps with the simple bass kick are laired behind enough to hold and not distract from the lovely lyrics and vocals. You might've been fighting reaper but imo you won 😀
thanks. there's something. I need to learn more about recording.
Nice and simple, spacious and poppy. Hits a specific nostalgia for those 90-2000s “girl with guitar” type bands that I love.
my home base lol
i love the tambourine acting as sleigh bells! it makes the song sound like winter. also those background notes echoing before the "A winter's breath" gives a nice winter tone
thanks! I might go back to the drawing board on this one and will pick up more of that theme - great suggestion
I like the way it leaps from weather to deep so quickly and effortlessly and then keeps using it to bring it home. All delivered in your unique style.
Thanks @coolparadiso . I think it is much too long but I think there are some salvageable bits - might return to it again. Appreciate your thoughts.
love the vox great style and the lyrics
Thanks for listening!
Currently cross country skiing to this. Girl you are so crazy bright!
