Of Mice & Men - Ben Threw quick bass + drum cover.
Bass absolutely unmixed, straight out of a Darkglass B7K + drums layered on the original.

Darkglass B7K Bass Test [song: Of Mice & Men - Ben Threw]

First of all, I am still an amateur in all these, so sorry for the sloppy and out of tune guitar and the poor vocals. My "recording gear" sucks and I don't know shit about recording or mixing vocals. I really hope to be able to re-record them later properly.
Also, the song was basically written and recorded in one sitting so yeah, it might be sketchy... :) 
Oh yeah, and feel free to laugh about my accent. :D

The lyrics were inspired by the thought floating away in space while looking down at Earth for one last good view and were written by /u/Poem_for_your_sprog from Reddit.

Lyrics:

'Oh Darling, the world's still a wonderful sight -
Just hanging there silent, surrounded by night.
If my story ends here, alone, floating free -
I don't think I'll mind it's the last that I'll see.

I've thought of your grace in the starlight, and then -
I'd hoped and I'd prayed that I'd see you again.
I can't help but wonder, if somewhere in town,
Are you looking up dear, while I'm looking down?

When dreams are forgotten, and all hope has gone,
When promises stolen, this life carries on -
I'll wait for a while, while the engines run low;
I'll think of your smile, and I'll want you to know:

I'm picturing you under warm summer skies -
I'm thinking of us, and I'm closing my eyes.
It's this that I wanted, but never forget -
I'd trade it for you, and a moment more yet.'

PS.: I also noticed that when playing the song on a mono device (eg. mobile phone speaker) some parts are completely inaudible because of phase cancellation. TIL
