I can hear the Numan influence for sure! It hits HARD right away and is delightfully relentless

Wonderful! Great!! Wow!
So glad you got to see them... every time they did one of those drops, I fell for it and woo hoo'd like a fool. But I'd like to think that's part of why the drops are there Great job adding those!!!

Take with a grain of salt but, if anything I might add a touch more reverb or something to all tracks. And maybe turn up the backing vocal on the chorus.

Thank you!! This was such a good exercise in space - I think the quiet makes the hard go even harder.

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.

Still hoping to see a headliner show from Numan someday, but SO GLAD to have seen him now. He got me EVERY DAMN TIME with those drops, I was right there with you. SO much fun...and that was why I wanted to try it for myself. I had never experienced that at a concert before, that extreme use of silence. Such a tight band.

Reverb: GREAT suggestion! I just put some gentle reverb on the master out, and my jaw dropped. Better sense of space, and really warms it up. Thank you thank you! I'll be trying that in the future for sure.

And thank you for the input on the BG vocals....they only came in on the last repeat, and were probably quiet because of my own opinions about my voice LOL. I'll try mixing them a little higher in future projects

Your voice is great! I totally thought there was a completely different 2nd person singing on the last repeat. Neat!

Big Numan vibes. Love the use of space. The verses are chugging!
Cool to read about and think about how to use it. Thanks!

whoever you are, you are really good!  this song is totally different than this week, in a great way!

if you haven't listened to NWSPR here on WB, you should!  he does some very cool synth rock stuff as well, that this track reminded me of in a positive way

awesome vocals by both you and the wife and YES crank the volume!

SOLID track! awesome lyrics! ambiguous, maybe ridiculous, but they have LAYERS of meaning and that's the best kinda lyrics! love the production and both of your singing, the main riff, great composition and structure, what can I say!!!! v happy to stumble on your music! thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I pull from a lot of genres - the good is that we get a lot of different songs written, the bad is that it can be hard to make the styles hang together for an album LOL

I'll check out NWSPR! You had me at synth rock, early 80s new wave is near and dear to me.

I'm glad you like the lyrics! Two of my favorite artists are The Cars and Yes, both of which tend to have nonsensical lyrics. I've tended to overthink my lyrics in the past, so I'm working on leaning into word flow and ambiguous meaning.

Thanks! I think I frequently overplay/overproduce, so forcing myself to add space was a great exercise
