| Hey all! After much toil, I've finally put together another demo track. You can get it here. It's a song called "Plastic Sea," and it's tentatively track 3 on the up and coming "Dark Forest" album. It's my favorite of the songs I've written/recorded so far, and it's quite catchy! Any feedback is greatly appreciated (as this is not its final form). The lyrics are below:
Sitting on the road to nowhere Floating in a plastic sea Waiting for a train that's half-built Waiting indefinitely The lamp for sight is not too bright But it shows me the way The light ahead stops 10 feet in And it hasn't even moved for days But you say You are not alone You are not your own You are mine alone You are not alone Half a mind for rushing forward Half the heart for running back Half an ear is strained to listen Half an eye to keep on track The road is long, and I've struggled on But I've stopped along the way I'm stranded here, and you're nowhere near I can't stay here another day But you say You are not alone You are not your own You are mine alone You are not alone x 2 Floating down a placid sea, floating down a plastic sea x 6 Floating down a placid sea, maybe the exit I seek is right ahead Waiting for the end to come I continue on Stumbling through the darkness, looking for the break of dawn Maybe I will find the answer I've been waiting on right ahead And I can't see far But I keep moving As I hear your voice Say the exit is not far ahead Copyright 2009 by Jaron Davis. |
Comment by David Hechler on July 20, 2009, 12:41 PM Plastic Sea Hey Jaron, I love this song. It's got so many elements that come together at the end so well. The chorus works really well and I love the lyrics for the chorus. As far as mixing goes, I love the mix and the way everthing sits well with each other and is panned just right. You are doing a great job with this. Keep up the great work. |
