Sunless

This week I would occasionally open up my project file for this song and then record some ideas. I just kept recording more and more ideas, not actually structuring it or layering it. So, of course, I put it off until like noon time today where I was like "I guess I should like, work on my song" and then spent the next five hours working on it with little to no breaks. I haven’t had much of a chance to really sit down and listen to this thing the whole way through so I'm sure its riddled with flaws. The mixing is probably bad, and I also decided that I was going to do some vocals and I really only gave myself 3 or 4 takes on each lyric before I was like "Ok, time to move on, not much time left". So I kind of cringe listening to what I recorded, but we'll see how this turns out with time I guess.

Also, I really cut it too close this time for submission time. I attempted upload 2 minutes before submission time and the upload got stuck so I had to get a link to submit it after the deadline >.< Thanks for the link aday. I don't know why but this thing was taking forever to upload and any small nudge like typing in the description was causing it to break.

btw here's the bullshit lyrics:

Sunday morning I rise and I face
Face a new dawn
Long way
Long time ago

But I want you to remember
All the love we used to know
Think of me sometime
My love

In the evening I sit and my thoughts
They turn to you
I think of my home

And I need you
And I need you
And I need you

But I want you to remember
All the love we used to know
Think of me sometime
My Love

*excessive wailing*

In the evening I sit and my thoughts
They turn to you
I think of my home

But I want you to remember
All the love we used to know
Think of me sometime
My Love

I love CringeCore

Congrats for spending so much time on this track though. Yeah, the mixing could use some touch-ups, but the actual song is REALLY REALLY good. I love your voice here and great chord changes. Your big echo-wail is perfection. Wow, your bass playing is actually secretly off the chain. Dang. Epic solo breaks, love when it comes back full force at 4:22. Congrats on making an 8min track that was not boring. Looks like a lot of work! Great job.

The upload button is a cruel mistress!

I downloaded and favorited this track!

I edited my tags so CringeCore was included, lol. And thank you so much for the kind words . I definitely feel good about the material that's written, I'm just kind of bummed that I procrasinated so long that I didn't have time to take like an hour break and come back to mix it with fresh ears. I mean, there's clipping in some parts and I even have the background vocals louded than the main vocals, oof. haha.

But yeah, I also enjoyed my echo-wail because my girlfriend wasn't home and I felt like I could just belt as loud as I could without bothering anyone haha. And then I slathered it in reverb and toned down the volume so its like background noise. I've heard that kind of thing done in songs I like so I'm chuffed I got a chance to do it in one of mine . Glad it came across as cool to you too!

Riddled with flaws is my MO so I can tell you this is not at all riddled with flaws! It's a great song, sounds well put-together to me. And I also admire your technical proficiency with all the instruments.

Great song and great singing. And I agree with @orangedrink - very nice bass playing. Super tasty, just the right amount, not too flashy but well executed to serve the song. Very nice piece!
