A very dark song and lyrics Mizieya. I've been watching the TV series "Paradise" . This song would fit perfectly as part of the soundtrack for that series. Nice work!...

You write such lush music. Even when it's dark, the music is lush and rich and spread out over the stereo field. I love this. Your voice is amazing on this track!

Cinematic sounding piece, I like the orchestrations and think they would be very nice as music in a graphic presentation like a movie or video.

That Guitar Choir is amazing... melodic and heavy with the same notes! I love how you accelerate, then throw in a syncopated pause then unleash hell. Totally groovy!

Reminds me. a little of a Final Fantasy sort of tune.
Except for the no nonsense voice over and switch to electric guitar and upbeat. Are those demisemiquavers?

Thank you Toni! The lyrics from one of my favourite songs from 30 years ago - Deacon Blue's "Dignity" - have always made me feel a certain way, and I think it was in the back of my mind when I wrote this one. That and John Cougar Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane" from a few years before, I loved the interaction of the piano and guitar in that one, and that chorus line "life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone" I think I was maybe subconsciously trying to put the two together.
You have a masterful way of weaving a story through your songs that sets my mind on fire with empathy and compassion. I will have to include this in the Social Commentary show too.
Fabulous Chris!
Thanks so much Tricia. It's taken a little while to find the voice again after a few years away. Coming back now though, getting better, just need to keep at it...! First song for a long time where I've been confident enough in the first take not to resort to melodyne or whatever to fine-tune the vocals. Maybe I'll sing live again one day... who knows
Thanks Dace! I've always struggled with trying to get the sound I wanted when producing my songs - always tried layers and layers of effects to try and get things to sound right and ended up with a bit of a compromise every time. A couple of months ago I upgraded my Sonar DAW software to the Platinum version and suddenly all the things I found really hard to do became SO much easier. I also joined a user group on FB that's given me a load of tips and showed me how easy it can be. The biggest change is using a linear multiband compressor on the master, but also the level of Eq and compression on all the individual tracks makes a huge difference. This song has five instrumental tracks and one vocal, which is pretty minimal for me. No pads anywhere and only two FX busses. With what I was using before it would have sounded too empty to my ears, but with this new stuff it seems to make it wall-to-wall. I'm having a lot of fun at the moment!
