about

I like this one. I'd like to come back and find a little more creative inspiration with the lyrics, but the story, the feel, the dynamics, and the vibe are solid, I think.

I started this one with the idea of the emotions of betrayal, disgust, and anger that were hard to avoid in the news this week. This song is certainly not topical, but the emotions and sentiment began there, without a doubt.

The demo is very raw, but production-wise, I wanted to try something that really pushed the depth-of-field. The guitar track is nothing but Les Paul, straight into Princeton, with plenty of reverb. Bass, drums, and vocals are almost entirely dry (just a tiny bit of room verb on the vocal).

lyrics

Where did you go?
 did you already know
 that you’d one day be leaving me?
 was there a sting? 
did you feel anything 
when you called out the cavalry?
Was there a doubt? 
did I give you an out?
Some part of you must believe

Used to be someone I could count on
 used to be someone who cared
 used to be the peak of the mountain
 now you’re breathing thinner air 
where’d you go?

The depths of my lungs
 the song that I’ve sung 
nothing but dust to you
 the volume of words
 the violence unheard
 all still in your field of view
You stare at your feet 
so dim and discreet
You're not who I thought I knew 

Used to be someone I could count on
 used to be someone who cared 
used to be the peak of the mountain
 now you’re breathing thinner air 
where’d you go?
