This one spend alot of time "coming together", from various themes, structures and emotions. I posted it once before a long time ago, in it's very bones.

Now we find it kind of finished, also with contributes (additional guitars and production) by a danish guitarist called Kristian Martinsen.

The song itself, is about a person trying to realize a fond person dying in front of her, and the arrangement is trying to follow that.

I hope you like what you hear, and feel free to comment.

USE: STM1632, minimax, Sonic Timeworks Eqs, compressorX & 4080L, Spl transient Designer. T-o-T, Flexor (mostly for the strange fx going on & some synth sounds). Also alot of Universal Audio Uad-1 pluginz were used in the mixing.
Yours truely

Hello my friend! Incredible texturing work as usual. I like the wideness of the chorus and the piano (which I'd definitely bring more upfront and widen). As a whole I feel it's a bit overcompressed and slightly distorted. Do you listen to a lot of Peter Gabriel these days?

The only true lack I see is the voice's unexpressiveness. With all the richness of textures which blend very well together, the voice is well, sorry to be blunt, but I find it "bland". Maybe you're after this effect, but in this song, the singer really doesn't cut it in my humble point of view. Very monotonous singing, no dynamics, total lack of emotional intensity. It's unfortunate because the voice could really lift the song to new heights but instead it drags it down. Don't get me wrong I like her tone and I clearly feel her talent. I think she needs to find a way to break her patterns and let the Living Fire find Its way through her soul! But I'm an outsider so I don't really know...

Congratulations again, keep up the good work and your talent is bound to find its way and reach the multitude!
