Artist : Old And Gray
Song : Beneath This Veiling
From The Album : Years Missing (work in progress)

Written by Old And Gray and Jeff Halley

What if every single night the ones we need completely changed?
What if every little spark is hiding grace? Cause this is boring.
What if every bit of every single piece - what if every bite we take is mean?
What if I don’t care to let them see me when I’m lying on on my back?
If every room that I walk in to, still reminds me the place I don’t want to know.
Spider webs wrap around my head but still they see the parts I don’t want to show.

Blankets yes it blankets well it blankets you too
Well it blankets yes it blankets yeah it blankets you too

What if every single fight we’ve lived and breathed would never sleep?
What if all we felt inside was tucked away - beneath this veiling?
What if I’m wrapped in myself again – what if this is true for everything?
What if I’ve show my soul and still it wont suffice cause you’re … FAKE

If every room that I walk in to, still reminds me the place I don’t want to know.
Spider webs wrap around my head but still they see the parts I don’t want to show

Blankets yes it blankets well it blankets you too
Well it blankets yes it blankets yeah it blankets you too

It totally rocks, and has great lyrics (and I'm usually anti-lyrics).

Wow, this is awesome. Kinda getting a Nine Inch Nails vibe from it. Great intro too. But I felt like the massive distortion blasts were a bit too much for me.

Decent track for sure.  Dirty yet catchy.  The bass seemed very left heavy in the mix?  The vocals work well too!

Thanks for the feedback. I totally suck at sound design, and mixing. I definitely want to re-record the best tracks from this project at the end of the year in a "real" studio though.

You mean panned too far to the left? Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, it kind of leaves the mix sounding unbalanced.  Bass is generally good in the centre unless you're going for a traditional 60/early 70s mix but the mix would be counterbalanced by another element smile
