Fire Walk With Me

By ViridianLoom on February 11, 2024 11:48 pm

If you know, you know.

Was feeling super uninspired again this week but I gave it my best shot. Now that I'm done, I'm going to go watch Twin Peaks with the wife. Maybe make some Huevos Rancheros.

I really enjoyed this! I think you did a really nice job for what sounds like one day of work. I actually thought your vocal performance was quite strong. I didn't really notice the competition between vocals and piano, I thought they sounded quite nice together. I think the production sounds pretty good too. It's very punchy and I seem to like that. I also really like the ending where you end the percussion but keep the melody looping out for a while. There's some really nice melodic ideas in here. I like the part at around 1:20 a lot.

Love the obtuse meters you play with in your tracks - they're such fun puzzles to figure out. To me, it sounds like the aching vocal melody contrasts with the swing in the e-piano part to create this interesting sense of heartwrenching resignation. Really beautiful stuff.

Nice melancholy piece for what it is. Not bad even with the time crunch, far from a failure.

Ooo, thanks! "heartwrenching resignation" is such a nice descriptor smile

I appreciate the vote of confidence, boys heart.

Damn, twin peaks and huevos.  That sounds like an awesome evening.  This song is so fucking vibey though, really digging it.  Love the epiano tone.

Love Twin Peaks and Angelo Badlamenti.  The epiano and guitar took me to that space and made me want a good cup of coffee smile  Excellent sound to your vocals as always and provides some sweet harmony to the epiano on those "fire" moments.  Oooh Trent in Quake t-shirt with Lynch makes me wanna rewatch Lost Highway too. 

I love the xylophone sound at the beginning, reminds me of some older games that would use that in cave levels and whatnot. I get a lot of different sounds that remind me of that haha. Vocals are solid! I want to sing like this in a future track. I gotta work on it tho!

Vocals sound good and there's a cool vibe to the music.  Not exactly dark, but a little mysterious and smoky maybe.

This was my one chance to write a longer song longer than you, and I blew it.

Nice job on the vox. Your voice doubles really well. Really enjoyed the "fire" repeats at the end. Tied it all up nicely.

I can hear that Lynch connection, super nice, agree the double-tracking on your voice sounds great, really enjoyed this journey (fire outro...)

You did a wonder out of an uninspired mood. Such a complex and wonderful sounding song. The instrumentation has very well chosen nostalgics in it. The voice is very well placed in the mix. Respect.

This is a great track. this 7-4 time signature is not a natural one for me and it is nicely done. Love those main synths, and your vocals are on point.

As mentioned, the vibe is great.

In regards to the ending, hear me out: distorted guitar. Pure electric fire.

I knew _roughly_ what I was in for as soon as I saw the title, but the execution was so beyond what I expected. the lilting time signature adds to how weird it is, which is perfect.

it's a jam. genuinely loved every second of it. but I have no idea who that little guy in the weird suit is.

Great work for one day and feeling uninspired! A lot to enjoy here. Vocals sound really good.
Love that film, I'll have rewatch soon.

Beautiful track! There is that Badalamenti vibe (the tone of the piano and general atmosphere?)? Did you enjoy Twin peaks? I like the vocal performance a lot on this track.

Damn good. HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOO

love the vocal mix(i noticed a subtle doubling of voice, where one sang in harmony(just in a simple interval for one note) but very sparsely, haha... it's a very subtle/cool easter-egg, i like that alot)... seems like, by reading your description, it was a good growing excursion to have, this is also what it sounds like. this type of track(the kind of struggle it elicited from you, that is) can definitely evolve on a person with time heart

Damn this was good. We both decided to up the game with vocals this week.

I can’t wait to get at the level of you guys pooping out masterpieces and with the thought of “eh didn’t really have much time this week and was uninspired” 🤣

I can relate on the pressure releases. I felt a lot of pressure after my first decent song that I had to live up to it or something, even though probably in another 20 songs it will not be my best work by far.
