Hi guys & gals,
First of all: THANK YOU!
The feedback to our last uploads The Dice and Way of Life has been massive, so we decided to record a new song and trying to avoid mistakes of the
previous recordings - in our opinion, the new material is way better to work with (amongst other things because it is not heavily pre-processed as The Dice and Way of Life).
What do you think? Please tell us how to improve.
Please watch on YouTube if you want to see it in full screen mode.
Q&A:
-What gear did you use and how did you place the microphones?
Well, we have a little surprise for you. Here's everything you need to know!
(If you don't speak german, please activate the subtitles.)
Please watch on YouTube if you want to see it in full screen mode.
-Can I publish my mix on soundcloud, bandcamp or elsewhere?
Sure! But please add these links and advices, keep it non-commercially and publish it under the same license.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Straight they keep on walking
it’s too loud, but no one’s talking
a breeze drifting by
my body seems to fade
Verse 2:
I’m not feeling like I am here
I’m not feeling like I should
Stranger in my own world
everything just flows around me
I’m drifting away
I’m drifting away
I’m drifting away…
Bridge:
Fading away…
I can feel it all around me
I can feel it all around me
…
fade,
fade,
…
fading away…
fading (Gang shout) x2
Verse 3:
Spinning head
what’s going on inside my head
can’t get it out of my head
like I was getting mad
so mad
so mad (Gang shout)
———
And yep, you probably noticed it. There’s no chorus in this song. Deal with it.
