Skin

Vocals by: Hansika Jayawardana
Original track by: BOY

In the end of 2013 I went to Malaysia to visit a friend of mine. He had met this girl, who turned out to have an amazing voice!
I (of course) never travel anywhere without a good microphone and a laptop. So we recorded a song right then and there! 
When I got back to Sweden I replaced the initial backing track (some strumming on a crappy untuned acoustic guitar) with what I could find in my home studio, to give her voice a fair accompaniment.

This is the result: Vocals recorded in Kuching, Malaysia by Hansika Jayawardana and backing recorded in Sweden, Stockholm.

Skin (BOY cover)

A song about growing up and experiencing the eruption of a war. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look up into the sky 
Take a breath of air
Birds flying away
Ghosts that slip away

Wake up to find a fear
Always trying to say
It's gonna be okay
Why don't we runaway

Wake up in tears
I just wanna stay

Grans said it's coming soon
Sleep with your clothes on
The birds are flying away
We gotta runaway

Far away
We'll go
In my heart
You'll remain

Close to us
You belong
Just stay
Always

Here's a quick preset I made for the stock S2.0 Avatar kit, it'll need tweaking to fit into your mix, and perhaps you'll want to swap the kick drum out for more metal contexts, but hopefully you'll like the sounds.
