The Gentle Path

Liner Notes

I realized that I didn't record the last bit of the song until after it was uploaded. Perhaps, I'll add in later, but you get the idea. 😀

Lyrics

Chorus:
It’s okay to take the gentle path.
It’s not always rocket science and math.
Maybe life is trying to tell you something
Don’t just sit and laugh.
It’s okay to take the gentle path

The burnout is so so real
No sense of self can barely feel
Anything I’m supposed to
The real world I’m a ghost to

Try to find a way
To restart another day
Find a place to lay my head
And rest before I feel brain dead

Chorus

I’ll go walking for a while
No hill to take just flat
Stepping soft moving slow
Getting lighter as I go

Chorus

Oh the beat drop is sweet! These lyrics are great. Nice vocal performance as well. This slow constant build is great. I think the chorus the HP filter could come off the vocal and it would add to the continued build. It would make this already awesome tune bloosom at the apex!

OK, this is lush! So cool and laconic and full of texture. (Thanks for alerting me on the new demo.)

Well put, and painfully relateable! I really like the chorus-first structure for this theme, and also the kind of mirrored shape of the chorus itself. Very curious to hear this once you have the music down.
