Brevity

This week I wanted to experiment with my own vocals. I recently bought a Shure SM57 and tried to put it to good use. I opted for a pretty generic beat and just two chords, kept it pretty simple so that I could fuss more with vocals without everything feeling too complicated.
Sketched out the idea on the M8, with synth sounds coming from the Hydrasynth. Then imported the stems into GarageBand and worked mostly in the DAW (trying to get more comfortable with a hybrid workflow). I'm really into vocals like Tame Impala and Sound of Ceres, a kind of airy but punchy psychedelic vibe--used that as a good starting point. I'm still figuring out how to mix everything properly, maybe there is too much compression on the vocals? I don't know. But this has been a good learning experience.
Lyrics:
One day at a time
Change is how the way it goes
Change is how the way it goes
Change is how the way it goes
Change is how the way it goes
As if it never happened as a sign
I really need your care and redesign
And you can tell I'm fakin' fine
I think I'll take it one day at a time
It's inevitable this
Is inevitable this
Is inevitable this
Is inevitable this
Change is how the way it goes
Change is how the way it goes
Change is how the way it goes
Change is how the way it goes
As if it never happened as a sign
I really need your care and redesign
And you can tell I'm fakin' fine
I think I'll take it one day at a time
One day at a time
It's inevitable this
Is inevitable this
Is inevitable this
Is inevitable
