Spinning Wheels (WB12)

I had to try out the sitar on a new track even though I'm still fumbling through learning how to use it. Tuning it was hard enough!
Went with the same workflow this week jotting down some lyrics midweek, sketching some chords and setting it aside for a couple days. Came back on Saturday and layered some computer drums, DI guitar, DI bass, testing out some sleigh bells for percussion and did a rough mix. Came back and laid in the vocals and played around on the sitar for a few takes. Eventually found a lick I liked and focused on that for most of the song. After mixing it together, I decided I wanted some thicker vocals so I recorded a lower octave and a higher monotone harmony part. I quite enjoyed working on this one and I like how this weeks track turned out for the most part.
Lyrics:
Fruitlessly searching
Hopelessly yearning
For a prize we can't define
To what end are we to left to roam the horizon?
Sally forth! The vanguard leaves
Knowing only what's behind them
Finding a way
To press on the next day
Thinking all that we're loosing is time
To what end
Are we to be left
To roam the horizon?
Sally forth!
The vanguard leaves
Knowingly only
What's behind them
