So I downloaded a free digital voice singing synth (AlterEgo), because I've certainly felt lately that all music is amplified by lyrics. I'm not really sure if I plan on going this route, but I wanted to experiment with it. So, it's pretty rough honestly, being the very first time I've messed with anything like this. I actually created the entire track first and then added the voice synth afterwards.. which you can probably tell. I'm not really sure how to structure music with words in mind. But also, being that it's just a voice synth, it's not really the same thing as a full lyrically driven song. But in any case it's good to get my feet wet with it. Even if I some day decided to add my own voice to my music, this is good experience to have.
Not sure anyone will really care, but the lyrics may be hard to make out- they are:

Drowning
Slowly
Lost in
Shadow

(these lines repeat in order throughout the track)

Your first bout is so much better than ours
AlterEgo is fun to try for a bit, but we found it pretty lacking (though looking back, it wasn't that horrible)
