I need some oxygen because this rockah knocked it all out of me!

enjoying time spent with your music this morning!!  your quality of sound and writing is so consistent!  I'd love to read a blog about your insights on mixing & mastering because you've definitely mastered it, so to speak!!!

Liking this attic sound... and a cool rocker too.

Excellent dynamics, fantastic guitars! Great track!

Because the Spotlight itself only has 5 positions, this playlist is used as "honorable mentions" - Tracks are not exactly ranked, but higher up this list means I recommend you listen to first.

I do update this list regularly - this includes track orders.

Got a new toy, had to play with it,
but also wanted to build something of a song, because repertoire;
and I was inspired by many things I have listened to over the past weeks.

I have to come to the point of happy uplifting music yet, so you will have to do with this:


It's a song about some dark places a mind can be in... The protagonist may not be of this world, in fact. Or he never fit in...


lyrics

look for me in the shadows
look for me in the rain
cannot find in the mirror
cannot run down the drain

hold it up for a cover
give me something to taste
I need to see you tomorrow
everything else is a waste

looking out of the window
shattered worlds made out of glass
here I am set out to wander
if we only had something to last

I get it
I loved it
and wanted too much


mix v3.0

❤️ @Bandcamp

Unrequited

I am currently remixing all the tracks of the 'The Dwelling' album I made in 2017/2018, because of new insights in mastering and mixing and new equipment and tools to aid in that. 

This is 'Atticboy'. The original version dates from 2008 I believe, and I recorded this version in 2017, and remixed it today.

Other entries in this remix spree are Long Shot and Until the Light - the latter only being available on BandCamp (why though? https://alicedeeper.bandcamp.com/track/until-the-light-2021-remix ?)

In the time of my former band UMF, this was a live favorite - usually played at the start of the second set to jumpstart the audience after the break.


lyrics:

yeah I thought that I got away from all the rules of a sorry game
now I'm locked to another chain - spinning down seems the only way
I won't do what the bugger say - feeding life on a hungry plate
shorting out for a better way - I got a taste for the bitter rain!

I got pain, in my brain;
a screw loose, this is not my day!
I got it hanging bad again.
and everytime, is all the same,
I wanna get out but I don't know where to stay,
if everytime I refuse to play,
slumping down into the grey,
seeking comfort is not the way.

Find you a lovin' or find you a hell,
the best way of discovering is s*** I can't tell!

A truce, that's for you.
Too loose, that's for you.
Can't choose, that's for you.
To lose, that's for you.
No way back to you,
run away far from you.
Too late - answer you!
no regret,
all of you.

Atticboy (2021 remix)

An all fresh and new experimental bit, even though it's technically a new take on a pre-millenial song of mine. Here's the video that we are pretty stoked about: https://youtu.be/NODyGroE2D4

it's kind of an atmospheric piece.

lyrics:

give me love to kill the hate
give me hate to kill the lie
won't you dare to change your sides
turn the darkness into light

when it's fierce and then it comes
change will twist and turn it on
find a mind - declining heart
push and pull until it's gone

this I know is mine
the song of six to nine
we could but spill the wine
run further down the line

here, now, mine, so fine

can you hear the death bell ring?
can you feel the scorpion sting?

here, now, mine, so fine

Love Hate Lie

A very early track, in complete remake. There is an earlier remake on my profile too and a remix of that remake, but I never uploaded the original.

"redux" as in, rethunk and cut out some redundant verses.

closing track of the "Fall" EP
https://open.spotify.com/album/4UTItNTWHhAL0ASu6cm8rB

lyrics:

Manyman the missionary
his holy cross in hand
holding up his sacred book
he is fighting for his land

He passes the threshold of his thoughts
darkness conquering his mind
this confusion has only brought
a glance upon the other side

Manyman and his smiling mask
answering his divine task
could he conquer all that's ill?
Manyman's a man of will

and the missionary stumbles
and he's grabbing for a hold
all the words that once had built him
now make him choke upon his throat

Manyman projects away
cannot stand the light of day
reflects upon this failing grace
put Manyman back in his place

Manyman the world is open
Manyman it's there for you
do you know it's all you hoped for
there is nothing you can't do

Fall

over here ✨

Manyman (redux)

Fall sessions demanded to do remakes of a bunch of tracks that just ask for it.. again.

lyrics:

all the devils and the beasts now have gathered for the feast
behold the naked human meat - surely they won't eat the least
but the angel's left outside though this hell is opened wide
to her mercy long has died, escape the darkness she has tried
now she sees her dying moon - see her dancing in the gloom
through the mist and through this room
watch the angel's flower bloom

where the streets are shades, where the demon waits
the angel turns out to be strong, she embraces the angel song
and the calling from afar, see the rationale at war
feelings that were, feelings that are - bound together in a star

she is here for you to see, she is here for you to be
she holds the love that we all seek beneath the black, beneath the bleak

she is breaking through the glass - follow the footprints on the grass
float with the smoke through the sky - a-where the angel hides
and right here, up above, she's still crying out for love
she is sick of all the lies, she is sick not knowing why

and no, I can't believe - all the visions I receive
but the truth it must be real, I taught the angel to feel

here it is and here's it plain, now the angel's not the same
she knows now that she can see, I taught the angel to feel

the angel - feel

mix version 2, this might be adjusted

Sacrifice
All the time
Never lie
Head up high

Visions unfolding
Pathways reopen
Neural control
Break through the wall

Demonized
Inner child
Let it out
For a while

Passions rekindled
Never it dwindled
Spiraling flight
Transformative light

There are these mornings
I open my eyes 
just to cry

There are these moments
right before dawn
when I die

There are the days
all I can say is
let it rain

There are the nights
I pray to sleep
not to wake
not again

But then there's you
there's only you
who makes me feel

Yes there is you
there's only you
makes me wonder

An I'm not
going under...
