Liner Notes

#harmonies
A disjointed first effort, room for expansion, but we're warming up!
No keys, hmmm...

Lyrics

Eyes wide looking forward
Life has begun, remember
Bright child with a searing mind
Captures the day, imagine

This moment lies open
Heed warning, seize the occasion

For your soul, take what you're given
Remember your past, imagine your future
Stand up when you fall, go through this wall

Full minute intro. Nice vocals, the harmonies are sweet. Those jarring breaks are certainly something else. Cool production. This is different, I’ll give you that. Slightly prog leaning.

I like the mixed meter/mixed feel that pops in here in places. Also the atmospheric and floaty feel of the whole arrangement

Excellent! Its been a while I listened to one of your songs without keys. And you absolutely smash it.
The break right after the first vocal part came unexpected and is so interesting. Are you implementing some odd rhythms?
The lyrics give me hope. Thank you for that!

I’m feeling some Steven Wilson vibes here big time! I really dig the 7/16 breakdowns. Nice thick vocals I always expect this harmonic language in your music. I think this is an excellent 1st effort for 2025.

Ah nice through composed. The guitar melody at the start and the spacing in the vocals in the first stanza stood out to me. The instrumentation throughout fit really well together as well!
