Nighttrain - Monument Of Ignorance

A song I produced for Lindsey Halstead. This is the first version; I'm unsure whether there's something I can do to thicken the entrance to the second verse.

Lindsey Halstead - You Are (January Draft)

Nashville mixing legend Billy Decker is here to provide insight into what it takes to mix #1 singles consistently and at a breakneck pace. 

Pouring over your mix for hours on end in order to get that snare hit at 2:47 into that song just right? You could do that. You’ll probably end up doing it with 100 other things before you finish that mix though. Billy Decker is here to talk about a better way to work. We’re not sure if all the producers in Nashville have it down to this much of a science, but Billy certainly has some amazing ideas that you need to pay attention to.

“You find a good balance, and all of a sudden you’re happier. You get better at engineering because you keep that passion for it, and all of a sudden the money starts rolling in.” - Billy Decker

N[ ]SHOW - Bis Der Hausfrieden Bricht

Gib mir mein Manko zurück
Gib mir mein Manko zurück
Ich und mein Manko, wir sind noch nicht quitt
Und jetzt gib mir mein Manko zurück

Mein Gott man, merkst du denn nicht?
Miss Messalina und ich 
haben im Garten verbotene Früchte gepflückt
Und jetzt gib mir mein Manko zurück

Goldene Zeiten in Sicht
Von heute an wartet auf mich 
Mango-Sorbet bis der Hausfrieden bricht
Und jetzt gib mir mein Manko zurück

Ich werde in die Wüste geschickt
Doch in deinen strafenden Blick
Mischt sich Neid auf einen unvergesslichen Trip
Du bleibst hier und mein Manko kommt mit

Auf dass man dem Schutzkleid entwischt
Haben wir uns nachts im Gebüsch
Vorm Nacktbaden Laub auf die Schultern gedrückt
Und jetzt gib mir mein Manko zurück

Entgegen jeder Kritik
Trage ich dich wie Schmuck ums Genick
Mein Manko, aus dir dreht man mir keinen Strick
Und jetzt gib mir mein Manko zurück

Ist auch im Manko-Distrikt
Der Boden mit Minen gespickt
Und reißt's meine Ferse beim Fehltritt in Stück
Will ich dennoch mein Manko zurück

Lend me your ear quickly
I have a thought
One of those lightbulbs flickering
On and off, wires crossed
Assemble the thugs
Treat them
Give them the world
Hate is a burden of the saddened man
They’re all in the room, now gas ‘em out

Chorus:
Envision the sign
Your fears are non-existent
Moments alive
It’s how forever pushes on
Envision the prize
We’re beggars impersonating soldiers and more
Affording things, we can’t afford

The genesis high feeds them
Appealing as all hell
Completing what we are, and what we’re for
We are the game, and we are the sport
Forget what they said, resent the point
Focus, blind
The blood on their hands will never dry
They’re all in the room now gas it
