awesome flow and variance in those vox!!!

hmhhmm. i think back than you were a bit too harsh with yourself. it is fking solid exactly the way it is

so beautiful, soothing and peaceful at times, love the vocals progression

Well.. I started this track almost a year ago? Thank goodness for Sander's (https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer) patience. This track means a lot to me in a lot of ways.. The longer I didn't move forward the harder it was to return to it.  However, I got really inspired when the fall and winter came back because this song definitely has a late fall / wintery feel. 

I go from feeling really good about it to OMG I need to delete all my vocals and start over. However, it must be released regardless. It may not be perfect but that is fine. It is a song from two people who don't live remotely near each other. That in itself is a beautiful feat that must be appreciated. On top of that Sander's music meeting my strange cadence and expression creates a vibe never before experienced. Of course there is the story.  

The story is of course lovers caught in a 1984-esque scenario. However, I also wrote with the inspiration of current events.  I think that is also why I wanted to release it as soon as I could.. I think it has an element of needed catharsis.  However, I am very joyful to finally release this!! so much thanks for listening if you do <3

lyrics:


 Underneath it all 
 Behind the brick and mortar tall 
Slowly becoming barren like the  fall
Trees that wish to stalll 
The distance from the sun the Earth revolves
Spring time rebirth is far 
And they're putting on the final straw

People watching revert to simple awe
As so many lines start becoming crossed
Power through crimes whats the cost
Of an entire world bound and lost
Warming up but still crowned in frost
Made hostage by the hostile law 
The coverage is constant like a coke withdrawal 
Never budging like a water soaked log
We need a fire but all we got is smoke like fog 
That obscures our view of hope till its gone

Try
Try to smile for me
Lets pretend we are free
Right Here 
While we’re Wrapped in each others arms
We know we are safe from harm


 Please turn off the radio 
When its on your eyes lose their glow 
Those voices speak poison don't you know 
They’ve chosen to keep us dull and low
Stay poised and don’t let you mind go
To where it naturally wants to the most 
Keep your cards close 

To your chest 
And never tell the rest 
Keep your secrets buried deep within your breath 
People can be trusted less and less
This is all for your best interest 
I can already tell when your thoughts want to burst from your head

I know it hurts but think of our past blessings instead
Remember when I met you back in summer of 07?
As soon as I saw you I knew within just a couple of seconds
That you were someone who was homesick for heaven 

It was a bit of a miracle you even talked to me
I was never social my thoughts never Let me be free
But you fought through my walls so playfully 
Your kiss must have worked like an open sesame 
You showed me a whole world anew a little like Disney 
It’s a little cheesy and thinking of it has me dizzy 
Your love has always made me sick like a disease 
Butterflies from you make a hurricane erupt in me


I was hoping this day would never come
But I think it was time to grab our things and run
I’d rather die than see you under a gun
Being forced to give in and succumb 
To these wicked men or whatever they have become

I no longer see any trace of love in their eyes
They despise anything that looks like life
Reflecting off of the sheen of their knives
If we leave now there is cover under disguise of night
It’s fight or flight and we both know what is right
