Walk With Me

By Dyrt Dyzyrt on Yesterday 3:30 am

Hello again, WB gang!

I'm continually impressed by all you folks who are still putting out really great music EVERY WEEK! (And if you've missed weeks like me: Well done anyway because damn, this is hard!)

I've had to rely on old lyrics for my last couple of submissions because I just haven't had time to get into the headspace for writing lately. These lyrics were written probably a couple of years ago (?!) about mourning the destruction of nature and feeling powerless to stop it.

Side note: If anyone has any suggestions about how to get my old Yamaha keyboard to sound more like a real piano, please help! I did the best I could but I'm not in love with how it sounds in this track. I don't know how to get a more resonant sound. Truly I have no idea what I'm doing in general but I always manage to fiddle with the mixing long enough that it sounds halfway decent, at least to my ears. It's a learning journey.

As always, thank you so much for listening!

mixing synths/keyboards is tough because they don't really live in a physical space.  and if you don't love the initial sound, not easy to make it better.  adding a touch of reverb can help it "fit in" the physical space.

love the track and the sentiment - love your pessimism!  i'm optimistic about it!

Absolutely stunning! Such a beautiful sadness yet a sense of reflection and realness. I'm continually amazed at the layers you add each month to your songs. Definitely want to add this to my hiking playlist.

This is gorgeous. I think the electric piano sounds more realistic in the upper register and struggles with the more midrange or bassy stuff. It’s just missing that depth and complexity that a real piano has.
