Breathless

By tarsiidea on January 11, 2026 4:50 pm

I went down a bunch of music making related rabbit holes this week (finished rebuilding my guitar and setup acoustic correction for my studio). While they were definitely fun, they didn't help with actually working on this week's track. So now the deadline is urgently looming and I've stayed up all night to finish it. This song is all about that.


Lyrics:

Adrift in the blue expanse
The cold laps against my hands
I cling with fingernails torn
Scraping back time, gasping for more

Screaming white foam
Pulls me under
A vortex spiralling home

Time escapes, I forget it's precious
The final hours, wide-eyed, breathless

wild-eyed, breathless
wide-eyed, breathless
wild -eyed, breathless

I've lost my roar
Now I'm Breathless
I can't hear your call
Now I'm  Breathless

So good! Like the dancy beat and bass and heavy vocals!

Great vocal delivery

Fantastic! The vocals and instrumentation work really well together!

A composition which left me breathless!

Good track! Good to hear more vocals in here. I hope to do more singing this year, thanks for some inspiration and you did well with the synth and guitar mixing, everything. I always have the toughest time mixing vocals. These seem up front but not so much that it drowns out other mix elements. I like how it is sort of sparse but not really minimalist?
