Background on this track's origin:

This was done as an exercise in composition, recording, mixing, and everything else that goes into creating a song.

This is the 2nd thing approximating a song I've made[1]. I feel it's likely I'll need to make 20-100 things like this before I ever make a "good" song. I'm trying to set up the processes to do so in my life but work drains everything I have most of the time so it's been a long slow sometimes bleak journey going from unable to do much of anything ~4 years ago to this point.

The title comes from a version with lyrics/vocals that I'm very hesitant to release because I have no idea how to produce vocals and I can barely sing even without the fact that I recorded them at 11:30 PM and live in an apartment so I was whisper singing which sounds like garbage. I tried pitch correcting them (took 6+ hours today) and while slightly better, it's still pretty cringe (and I don't use that word lightly). The lyrics are me responding to the first attempt I made to write lyrics before hand and record vocals earlier that day. I was not happy with the results. This time I improvised what I was going to say about 5-10 seconds before I said it and made up a vocal melody (if you can call it that - without having done ear training in combination with singing I don't know how to do this the same as I do on guitar, synth, etc). Somehow some parts have grown on me. It's still really bad and not lyrics I would ever listen to. But it's very meaningful to me, particularly since they inspired me to go back and try to make what I built here work and with a few critical changes in response to the lyrics (which are present in this instrumental version) it somehow works.

This version feels like it's missing something to me, but I think that's because I composed intentionally leaving room for vocals. I still think it worth sharing without. If people express interest I might post the version with lyrics, but it will still be a demo. I'd like to try another pass sometime, but this is also giving slightly diminishing returns and I should probably move onto my song 3/100 to work towards what I really want to do. I'll try to establish a vocal practice along the way.

Anyhow, now that I've rambled way too much... enjoy?

Note: I've only tested this w/ headphones, studio monitors, and on my phone.

If the mix sounds like garbage to you I'd love to know what you're listening on.

Very hard to find remix of 'Your Path To Divinity' from 2005 (the original from the Jesu Self Titled LP), this remix was entitled 'The Divine Path' and was found on the 'WTUL Songs From The Basement Volume Four' only. 
Somehow this title changed for the compilation to Your Path To Devinity [WTUL Remix], with divinity spelt wrong.

🎧 Lyrics:
Catch my breath and hold it for me
I'm wasting my time, trying to make up my mind
I'm sitting here as the chandelier is whispering in my ear
Saying, can I get a cigarette? No you'll never be mine

Can you come around tonight?
And sing me a lullaby
Just take my heart and break it
Can you come around tonight?
I might be the enemy
But nothing quite hits like you

We'll take this pen and write for me
Oh write me a song and I'll try to forget it 
Oh I'm standing there, as the man upstairs 
Comes crashing through the ceiling 
Saying where's my fucking cigarette? 
With fire in his eyes 

Can you come around tonight?
And sing me a lullaby
Just take my heart and break it
Can you come around tonight?
I might be the enemy
But nothing quite hits like you
