Liner Notes

So the drums are the only VI. Feels good to be more hands on.

Lyrics

Fallen tower
Former high rise
Once a ladder
Where is heaven

High spire
Almost forever
Skies in motion
Reaching through the clouds

Suffer in silence
Heart full of arrows
Breathing is bitter
Yearning to contact home

Yeah! Loving these lush vocals! Great melodies as well. Love the harmonic shift before spoken radio thing is cool too. There is a lot to digest harmonically. I am actually glad you kept the rhythmic language more straight forward. The piano break feels like entropic disintegration but then we get a little coda… hmmm that was peculiar but it works.

Second listen now… feeling the pedal point better this time. That is such a nice release to the second verse. The progression on reaching through the clouds is breathtaking!

Ok back to the pedal. Now I’m feeling the larger form. Verse 3 you saved the harmonic expansion for the interlude.
Disintegrate the fills over the piano outro are great, then surprise bass on that ostinato. This was a lot for FAWM congrats on a piece of art!

Listening to your music is one of my FAWM highlights. I really dig the prog stuff you write. You know how to pace the lyrics and add more drama. I love the moment the electric guitar joins. Sooo big! And that chord around 1:16. No idea what you're doing musically, but it just strikes the right chords. Great!!!

Great mood with this! I got some Peter Gabriel vibes starting with, “High Spire”. Great atmosphere and flows in your arrangements… pulled me right in!!
