UNPLUGGED SUMMER

Loves

Songs I like

The Shins - New Slang

I'll Be Lightning

Gather To The Chapel

I wanted to fuse an electronic bass with acoustic.

The bass kicks in after the first verse (1:23); please listen to this point! - Best listened to on phones or good speakers. Also, I'm really happy with the harmony backing vocals and classical guitar near the end - I might add this earlier - let me know what you think!

Could someone give some advice on getting the electronic bass to be heard better on smaller speakers? I've tried adding an octave up, but it doesn't make a difference!

It is almost finished - Just a re-record of the vocals and some mixing to do...I hope you like and please comment!

The photo was taken by me, in Dalby Forest - England

Peace

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

This is in memory of my Dad

Kata Thalassa was taken from the Greek "kata" or "according to" (found in the Bible next to the Gospel writers' names, as a title, eg According to Mark. Thalassa is basically "sea" 

I had in mind Jesus on the shore cooking fish after His resurrection when I recorded it.
