Quick drum demo using my new Blue Yeti USB microphone. Bit of EQ/reverb second time round, completely raw the first time. 

Blue Yeti Demo

Original tune written as part of my BA Pop course at Leeds College of Music. All parts, lyrics etc written by me. I drummed, big, big thanks to:

Calum Juniper: Vocals
Tim Malkin: Guitars
Harry Vernon: Bass
Jacob Flight: Recording/Production

Lyrics: 

Last light
Last sound
Quiet surrounds

No drive
Don’t try
I lost this time

Stone cold looks tore my soul apart
Judging, digging for something
mind over matter? my mind’s in shards

Johnny OD’d, not even 23
Washed away in a wave of cocaine
Life ebbs and flows between skin and bone
And the smallest dam can bring change

He’d looked for work since he was 17
Fuelled by promises of prosperity
But Johnny, not even 23
Lost his life to austerity 

Take none for granted

Stone cold looks tear our minds apart
Judging, digging for something
mind over matter; it can’t be hard

Stone cold hearts tore johnny apart
Scarring, digging for something
mind over matter; it’s far too hard

Life ebbs and flows between our skin and bones
And the smallest dam can bring change
Life ebbs and flows between our skin and bones
We trust too much, misplace faith

Last light 
and last sound
Last light
Quiet now
