The first time I really took over complete production for one of my tracks. I'm a little bit obsessed with writing string sections. It's not a strong song commercially, so I don't really want to revisit it, but again, an okayish example of where I hope to head in terms of basic production.

The Sun

In a dark, dark dream there was a dark, dark Grecian myth that entered unawares and made for a dark, dark song when I awoke.
Think Bambi meets Little Red Riding Hood. Without the happy ending.

Dream Of Iphigenia



But we by a love so much refined,
That our selves know not what it is,
Inter-assured of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips, and hands to miss.

Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to airy thinness beat.

If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;
Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if the other do.

And though it in the center sit,
Yet when the other far doth roam,
It leans and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.

Such wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th' other foot, obliquely run;
Thy firmness makes my circle just,
And makes me end where I begun.

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning - John Donne

Sorry, John; I couldn't not. Please don't turn in your grave too much.


Gold

The tale of a Rapunzel prince & princess role reversal is woven by the Three Fates in the form of spiders. Make of that what you will.

Ghosts In The Wires

Definitely missing the string quartet and pounding drums in this one.

Halfway to the sea

One of my recents, and one I'd definitely like to make awesome. Probably needs to be super cut down on length before it can be given any true life..
