The Lighthouse

By Chrisfoo on August 21, 2022 11:25 pm

Pretty happy with how this one is turning out, still needs quite a bit of work.  Still have a lot of vocal layers/harmonies to track so, the lyrics should be a little easier to make our with the higher parts (hopefully).  Also, my fucking god is this mix dense.  Haven't done too much actual mixing on it yet, but I'm going to need to figure out how to thin it out a bit without removing parts hopefully.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Let it go, let it go, I’ll leave it all behind me
To the skies horizon, I feel gravity
A monument to last time I felt part of something
A tribute to all the memories departing me

So let it rain, let it rain, let all the clouds around me
Fall to pieces like the facade which harbors me
There’s a million reasons why we’d disagree and
There’s a million places I would rather be

Chorus:

So where is the light that guides so you dont wash on the shore?
How can you find the path that will lead to where you’re looking for?


Verse 2:

So let me be, let me be, what I’m evolving into
And please dont try to act like its a tragedy
It takes a lifetime, to build a paradigm
And as it startes to take shape well I can finally see

Let it go, let it go, I’ll leave it all behind me
To the skies horizon, I feel gravity
A million lifetimes wouldnt be enough time to
Put the words to all the feelings kept inside of me

Chorus:

So where is the light that guides so you dont wash on the shore?
How can you find the path that will lead to where you’re looking for?

I actually like the density. Either way, beautiful song!

very nice dreamy vibe wink

very good. It has the verve quality.

Good sound on this.  I like the dense mix, too.  Lots of cool textures in here.

I'd say keep it like this, it's real dreamy~

The mix is dense but not muddy, the result is a good wall of sound! The pad like layer that ebbs and flows is really nice. The guitar lines are suuuper tasty! I had a “wow” moment when listening to them. Great vocals as well! Epic one!

Solid drums and excellent guitar lines.  It all comes together nicely when your vocals come in too.  Nice work!
