I find it very cool to divide the three personalities of Open the Box into production. It's not because I think it's dexterous, but because I think it's wonderful that the range of music that I want to create is so wide. This song also skillfully manipulates the sound itself. wonderful.

that's the first context I've heard so far where yoodling makes sense :-)

interesting, a track that speaks different languages, different souls

Not much I can do about the tragic events in Ukraine. I've decided that the aggressors can't appropriate the Z, so I'm taking it back in this metaphorical musical battle.

This is a tweaked master (for some of you this may be basics). I moved both the organ and vocal noisegate from last to first in the effects chain. This allows the effects such as delay to work and sound as intended. Also tried a saturator on the lead "high" vocal to make it stand out more in the mix. You will all let me know if this worked (it is most noticeable at the end where you can hear the organ fade out with the planned delay). On a side-note if anybody is interested in how the "sucking" effect is achieved on the drums it is using a combination of regular and reverse reverb. 

TAKING BACK THE Z

I’m taking back the Z
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
You can’t have it
It’s not white 
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
U

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll move from place to place
I’ll zig and I’ll zag
I’ll duck and I’ll hide
I’ll stay alive
I can’t let go, no

I’ll weave and I’ll bob
Be a thorn in your side
I’ll run and I’ll jump
No river’s too wide
I can’t let go, no

I’m taking back the Z
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s all mine
It’s not white
Z belongs to U
Yellow and blue
U
Yellow and blue
Yellow and blue

I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, it’s all I got
I can’t let go, no 

I’ll beg and I’ll pray, 
Turn every stone
I’ll rant and I’ll rave
I’ll never rest
I can’t let go, no

I’ll be your worst nightmare
No matter your might
Be your worst nightmare 
Both day & night
I can’t let go, no

It’s all mine…

I keep a box 
and you can bet I keep it locked 
nightmares stuffed inside 
and 
I refuse to pay it any mind 
cause I know it’s all tangled and untame 
       So I refrain 
           yea       I refrain 

Ripples running cross the surface 
being chased
at any moment 
I’m capsized and rolling over 
and you know I want to blame the wave 
       the anger and the flame 
A fire in my belly
Lightening in my veins

Then I feel the shame 
       yea I feel the shame
so I put it all away 

In a box
I keep 
Buried at my feet 
all tangled and untame 

Yea
I feel the anger and the flame 
Fire in my belly 
Lightening in my veins

you know 
gotta put it back again

I Refrain (amped)

Elusive World #1

Life. It's full of experiences, ups and downs, aromas, flavors, textures, etc. Some want to be able to dictate the aroma of our life, BElieving they know us... when all we ever truly know is what we've largely been trained and/or conditioned to BElieve as truth; and how to "think." We often need a centering and grounding, balancing aid like a grounding essential oil blend to "prepare our soul," before going out into "the public arena" or talking with anyone anymore... or most definitely upon returning to our humble abode/home. This track exemplifies the ups and downs, the ebb and flow, of the bombardment of stimuli we can encounter on a daily basis. It's up to each of us to set and maintain healthy boundaries and to envelope ourselves with the people, places, and things we energetically feel honor them. 

This Instrumental was produced in a frequency meant to NOT be listened to while driving or operating machinery; and at a lower volume through wireless headphones for maximum effectiveness.

The Moon and a River

Dear friends,
I promised to make a sweet and kind song for once!!
Have a look at Youtube if You would like to see a few more pictures: https://youtu.be/mMV7SNMU4lk
Winter Aconites 

This morning I saw them
they lit up the surroundings
consisting of withered leaves that were left from the cold autumn last year
and their bright yellow colors make people stop
a while for resting their souls 
and gather strength for the duties ahead
The nature gives power to all of us now
 
The bright yellow lanterns
can be treacherous for Your dog
since these flowers are toxic and You should never try to eat them at all
even though they look delicious for Your eyes
but let them grow in peace
They will come back the next year if You let them be
The nature gives power to all of us now

A while later in the spring
You may see that the fields
are covered with small flowers that are called Siberian squill and they are blue
and sometimes a splash of violet as well
they are so heavenly beautiful
you have to take the time to stop and enjoy
That the nature gives power to all of us now

Approximate translation into Swedish

Vintergäck
I morse såg jag dem
de lyste upp omgivningen
bestående av vissna löv som var kvar från den kalla hösten förra året
och deras klargula färger får folk att stanna
en stund för att vila sina själar
och samla kraft för de kommande uppgifterna
Naturen ger kraft till oss alla nu
 
De knallgula lyktorna
kan vara förrädiska för din hund
eftersom dessa blommor är giftiga och du bör aldrig försöka äta dem alls
även om de ser läckra ut för dina ögon
men låt dem växa i frid
De kommer tillbaka nästa år om du låter dem vara
Naturen ger kraft till oss alla nu

En stund senare på våren
kanske Du ser att fälten
är täckta med små blommor som kallas Scilla och de är blå
och ibland med en skvätt viol också
de är så himla vackra
du måste ta dig tid att stanna upp och njuta
av att naturen ger kraft till oss alla nu
