Lyrics:
Time
It’ll break you
I won’t
Let it take you
But I don’t want
A wait
No, I don’t want
A wait
Forever

Climb
Just to break through
Walls
You’ve been pinned to
And I don’t want
A pray
No, I don’t want
That weight
Forever

Dream
‘Til you come to
Gates that define you
And I can’t walk 
that way
Now, what you’ve left
Will stay
Forever

Eternal

Come Over

I'm in the process of mixing some DAODA tracks for release (one older & one newer). I found this idea from years ago on a hard drive and thought it'd be fun to finish it, especially with the weather getting warmer, I think it's got a good vibe 🤙 More updates on new music coming soon. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
I’m lost. Unknown.
Promised to let it go.
Why don’t you float?
Rest. Breathe in slow.
Promise, do what you’re told.
Unconscious woes.
Now, do what you’re told.

Phased out, for the first time I feel woken.
Can you hold me up?
I need you to show me.
 
About:
This track was written & recorded back in 2019 when I was still living in Manhattan. 

A lot of DAODA songs start by coming up with a picking guitar part, looping it, and building around it. This track was no different. When creating a song this way, the process is unique because it's built gradually. You never know exactly where the song is going to go & this can often take time, leaving you with an idea that's never fully finished.

In NYC, I would record the vocals in a small closet that was in our tiny bedroom. My vocal approach is typically rifling off 5-8 good takes with the intention of comping a vocal track and stacking as many vocal parts as I can on the final mix.

It goes without saying, but the track sat on my hard drive for a number of years. There's no real other explanation for this other than life gets in the way and creatively, you're always chasing something new. It's more fun to sit down and create a new song than it is to pull up an old project file & continue to work on something that's "old" to you.

My plan was to release a newer song called "Forevermore" before dropping "Hold Fast." However, it didn't make sense to put that out before this song - it would be like I'd be stepping backwards sonically.

Instead of doing some tweaks to the original session and putting out what was essentially a demo, I wanted to "complete" the song. This is the last full song I recorded while living in NYC and I felt I needed to close that loop to give the track the attention it deserved. I even found a photo from around the same era this was recorded and used it as the cover art for this track.

The guitar and bass were recorded straight to DI. Back then, I was taking a minimalist / in the box approach by using Ableton plugins for guitar/bass sounds. This could have been an aesthetic approach, laziness, or the lack of a direct inject box to use my VOX AC15 (no surprise, but neighbors don't like when you crank amps in apartment buildings). More recently, I bought AmpliTube 5 to create samples to send to hip hop producers. I tossed a couple different amp models (JC-120, Fender Twin Reverb, etc.) and the plugin instantly brought the DI tracks to life. 

I replaced the drums with the "1987" samples from a company called, Circles Drum Samples. These helped play into the different late 80's / early 90's vibe I was looking to capture while still keeping the song sounding modern.

Lyrics:
Maybe it's old, but it's over now 
Left in the fold, but I'll try somehow 
Caught in a daze, I can't figure out 
Left in the haze, that I missed somehow 

Don't wake me and go 
Vanished alone 
Still and slow 
I'm gonna lose my head (I'll try to stay)

Lyrics:
Questioning anymore what’s real
Visioning something more I can feel
Chasing the thoughts that spin around in your head
Is it happening again to you, permanent freefall?
Are you up for it?

Waves (2024 Mix)

Performed, Produced, Engineered, Mixed, and Mastered by Mike Sacchetti (AKA DAODA).

LYRICS:
We sway here in a room
Eyes closed
Is this real to you?

My patience tried a thousand times
Dark days,
You light up the room

The time I’ve spent
has left me reeling

Let it soak you to the core
Forevermore
Overhead for all to see
What you do to me

Longing to take shape
We’ve bent
But never break

And if the curtains remain closed
Bright days,
Illuminate the gloom

The life we’ve spent
Barely fleeting

Let it soak you to the core
Forevermore
Overhead for all to see
What you do to me

Forevermore

Burn alone,... 
Each day I thread through... 
Secluded sinking like a stone... 
Wrung out,...Too hard to undo... 
Bury it,... I'm not your cornerstone.... 

Do you believe in luck?... 
Taking it to personal leaving what's left in dust... 
Do you believe in luck?... 
Do YOU?

Lyrics:
Cast the stone, I don’t care at all
Burn the throne, I don’t even care
Burst & bloom, vanish like a ghost
Tell me you, feel it in the air...

On our own, I don’t care at all
Blood from a stone, I don’t even care
Fade & moan, lost but not alone
Tell me you, taste it in the air...

Does it make you wanna stay? Cause I’m lost out here. 
I’m the moth and you’re the flame. All through the veil.
If it’s what it takes, I’ll peel back my own skin
To find a place, a place where to begin.

Through the Veil

Through The Veil
