I had to switch shifts at work today for a dentist appointment. As such, I'm home from work this morning, which means I fired up Jeskola Buzz & pressed record, allowing my Muse to do what she loves to do the most: just create. This one is live-to-tape, no overdubs in post: what you hear is what was played/sung as the "tape rolled". This one's a little more optimistic than my usual bouts of world hating 😆

The FX on the vocal is c/o CyanPhase's wonderful Sea Cucumber Buzz Machine. I usually use it on my guitar tone, but this time I thought: why not add it to the vox? I kind of like the result…

See You In The Shadows…

Lyrics

The Shackles & The Free
================

Through the night
I offer myself
My soul
My heart
Everyone
Everyone I know
To everyone…
It’s all I can give
To this dark
Dark world

As I walk
Through this world
All alone
I know
There’s other people
Out there
Suffering like me
Who look around
And see they
Want to be free
They want to be free…

They want to be free
From all the mundane
Chaos we see

So how can we be free?
How can rise up
From the shackles
That are crushing me
The shackles
Crushing me
The shackles
Crushing me
All your shackles
Crushing me
All your shackles
Are crushing
They’re crushing on me
I just wanna be free
I want to be free
I got to be free
Everyone gotta be free
Everyone wants
Wants to be free

================
