A little history of the band and this song if you can stick with me. This song goes back a long time ago from when we first started the band around ‘07 or ‘08. It was one of the first original completed songs we did mostly brought forth by our brilliant Japanese brother of a guitarist Yosuke Park, who came up with the main sorta bluesy heavy guitar riff you hear at the beginning of the song. As a band, we mainly did original instrumentals and covers of Dream Theater and MUSE songs, but when we wrote “Losing You” and performed it live, it became a nice crowd pleaser. We never really recorded our music professionally as we tended to just play at various venues for the time we were together. However, we got a chance to record “Losing You” in a university studio in December of ‘09 that soon turned into a problem and into a rush amateur kinda job due to a number of factors. We had to schedule studio time around each member, which was harder than it should have been and we didn’t get a lot of studio time to begin with to lay down the tracks and get a mix in. We originally planned for our vocalist to come and record vocals on the song, but we could never get him up to the studio, so I had to step in and record them ultimately. On a side note, I’m a far better singer now than I was then and it shows on the track in my opinion, but your ears can decide the quality of my voice then and judge for themselves. Sadly, most of the song was recorded somewhat poorly and “mixed” the same. 
The given result is a…low-fi kinda version of 
“Losing You”. I definitely recommend headphones when listening to this track to really hear the bass and some other effects that were implemented in the tracks. We all had fun recording it in the studio and getting a feel for that process even with the final result of the song. We disbanded the following year due to our guitarist graduating and going back to Japan and just us going separate ways really. I think of this somewhat as a time capsule of a local band that loved performing and playing together and that tried to shove that energy into this song. I’m sure a lot of you after reading this far are asking, okay that’s all fine and dandy Adam, but why upload this track after all this time with the way it is? That’s a valid question to have and really I could’ve just left it sitting on a hard drive collecting digital dust for the rest of my life and listening to it myself every now and then for nostalgic purposes. I decided against that in the end though as I feel it would be a disservice to my band mates even with the quality presented here. Furthermore this song mainly showcases the phenomenal guitar work of Yosuke and it would be a shame if the world didn’t hear his playing and what energy and style he brought to the band if I decided to not release “Losing You” into the wild.
I hope you all at least get a feel for this song and what we tried to present to our listeners in the end. Thanks for sticking with me and reading this far for a brief little history on us and “Losing You”.

Sincerely,
Adam
