I'll gather the strength that is left in my name
Let the heavens demand me to change
somewhere a cold bed awaits
Old lanterns burn dim with decay in the air
A stare that will leave your soul bare
creation is still everywhere
Stars rise to find you tonight
days they come and they're gone
Heavenly moonbeams should fail not to come
to the graves of a thousand dead sons
and leave warnings there for everyone
I still hear your voice calling me from the end
of windblown streets desolate
on the eve of winter's ascent
Stars rise to find you tonight
days they come and they're gone
Every day I'm wasting my time, losing my mind
I trust everything will be all right

Thanks for the comments guys. The time is actually 6/8 but the drums play 3/4. This gives it the continuity of a 6/8 beat but having the drums play a straight 3/4 gives it a push. saladin, I use all VSTi for all my sounds except the guitars and bass. The Mellotron is from a Reason refill as well as M-tron. The strings and piano are form Edirol Orchestral. The drums were from Groove Agent.

Lovely piece of writing and performance. Love the contrast between the "moving on" feel of the rhythm track to the almost nostalgic air to the vocals. Great vocal performance and really lovely chorus section.

This is just such a wonderful song. It transports the listener to the faith that is sometimes needed to go forward, and what solace we can take in that. Just a great chorus, reflecting the emotional state of the story teller with the surge of harmony and strings.

Where did you get those vintage tronics ? The thing is very coherent. I only review when I like, so : Just a little critic(suggestion?) : maybe a lack of density in the low frequency range.

I am essentially a one-man band. Though I had a band for a while to play the songs live with only the bass player has ever recorded with me. I write, record, engineer, produce, play, sing, mix, and master all these projects on my own. So that may account for some of their deficiencies but at least I get to execute my vision for the songs the way I want.
My goal is to somehow integrate doo-wopp (why did it cross that out?) and late 50s pop melody influences with an Americana roots-based songwriting approach (which I can't seem to get rid of no matter how hard I try) with the experimentation and instrumentation of mid-late 60s progressive pysch chamber pop. A friend of mine recently called it "modern freaked out Americana". I think I like that.
