Electronic Rock sound in Afrikaans, with a nice vibey footstomp rythm

Freak

Fly To Paradise

This is my audition for Sumerian Records' new project. Had lots of fun writing lyrics, and had a good basis of a song to work with!

My name is Hanno "FlatCoke" Smit. I'm 22 years of age, from Cape Town, South Africa. I am an assistant editor at a local film company. I studied audio engineering, with post production as my major.
I have been singing all my life, and have always worked towards singing in a world wide touring band.

Lyrics:
I held up high
what meant the most to me.
My walls, built high,
like the heart that's on my sleeve.
I heard it calling me.

But then, I heard a voice
entangled in my vivid memory.
The floor is cold, I've grown apart
from what it means to me.

As it's about to end, it gets louder,
harder, more intentional.
The meaning, that feeling,
the never ending reaping.

Old friend, adversary,
we meet again, embrace me.
Invite me in and part the sea.
Nothing less than everything.
Deadly friend, I'm ready.
Hold my hand, embrace me.
I surrender, faithfully,
to this cruel addiction.

A new beginning needs an end.
Broken things need to be mended.
Hold your heart in hand, carefully.

As it's about to end, it gets harder,
louder, more intentional.
The meaning, that never ending feeling.

Old friend, adversary,
we meet again, embrace me.
Invite me in and part the sea.
Nothing less than everything.
Deadly friend, I'm ready.
Hold my hand, embrace me.
I surrender, faithfully,
to this cruel addiction.

Continual corruption.
Gradual hallucination.
Embrace me. (x4)

Continual corruption.
Gradual hallucination.
Embrace me. (x4)

It's all been wasted!
The metal (not barrel XD) of the barrel has been tasted.
I'll be hated,
but this is self created.

Deadly friend, I'm ready.
Hold my hand, embrace me.
I surrender faithfully,
to this true addiction.

Nerdy stuff:
- Recorded on Logic Pro X
- Compression on vocals (OPTO compressor, Logic Stock)
- Tiny bit of reverb
- (Most importantly) NO AUTO-TUNE!
