Cool mood; especially dig the backing vocals when they come in.

I've got ~3.5 parallel books worth of imagery in my head about what's possibly going on from the lyrics

I really dig how this isn't just a folk song in the sense that it's a solo performance of singing and an acoustic instrument, but that the lyrics sound very folk-lore as well (like a Grimm fairy-tale). They're well written and seem like they're telling a story that can be easily followed on first read but also be interpreted metaphorically, like the character is running away from some kind of unresolved issue (Phantoms and hexes) and seeking a place of comfort to contemplate (the fox river). Or at least, that's my interpretation.

p.s. we both included the mention of Fae in our lyrics this week, haha.

This is so damn good, the “phantoms chasing me” part is incredible—is that falsetto? Everything panned right with reverb is also really really beautiful. There’s something amazing about happy songs that have haunting and dark lyrics, the juxtaposition is striking here.

Do you have vocals isolated? I’ve been considering doing remixes and collabs for a while.

Thanks- I didin’t know I could do the backing vocals and was surprised by the effect! I will have to incorporate them better in another iteration of the song perhaps. Glad the lyrics create some imagery

nice! I will check out your song. Thanks for the appreciation! Your interpretation is pretty much what I had intended when writing it, but I also like to leave things open to interpretation.

Thanks!! I don’t know if it’s falsetto, just singing high in some manner.

I’m pretty sure I do! But, if I don’t and there’s something messy, I can always resing it— unlike my other tracks, this one’s been in the works for a while, and I need to practice it because I think I want to try performing it someday in some capacity.
