the last of us.

This is pretty different from what we usually do, and from what I usually listen to.

I discovered Ben Howard a few years ago through a sound engineer friend and I instantly fell in love with his perfect mix of alternative rock, folk, ambient and singer-songwriter stuff. He also has killer guitar technique !

When this album came out, this song blew me away with its incredible work on sound design, textures, and arrangement: it's really dreamy and I love the vibe.

With this one, I felt we would have to work a lot on textures and arrangement to make the original justice, so I asked @dandelionmood if he would be okay with me taking more space than what I usually do in our collabs.

When he agreed, I listened to every live performance of the song on Youtube and I started looking for soft sounds which could complement each other nicely when spread out across the sonic space. I wanted to achieve that same dreamy/trippy sensation as the original.

While doing that, I had lots of fun and actually learned a lot about sound design and vocal editing/mixing.

I even took pleasure in mixing the piece and finding the right "sound pockets" for each instrument to fit in. It's still amateur work on my end (I'm a musician, not a sound engineer), but I'm really glad because lately I have been feeling a sense of progress in those domains, and it's really exhilarating !

Anyway, enough rambling on and on about the piece, I hope you like what we did, I personally had tons of fun working on it ;)

Safe & Sound

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh. [repeat 'til fade]
