Hi all!

This is the last MET  song by me. Originally this was recorded for the PsychFest. Video is still coming but it seems to take time.

Vocals by Ella
Bass by Launched
Percussion by Hook
Mixed and produced by Siru
Guitars and Keyboards by Redler
Written by Redler
Mystical May

It's May and I've come to this strange place,
The day turns into night, but the sun still shines,
The sweetest wind is softly blowing,
All the clouds are flowing so far away.

Chorus :
Mystical May,
Your little voice is here to stay,
Bringing to me a new song,
Mystical May.

I sleep in this strange place tonight,
I sleep in peaceful dreams tonight,
I'm faraway from this world.

Chorus - Repeat.

Great song,the guitar sound is so full.
Vocal delivery very mystical too.
I would like to hear an alternative mix with the vocal straight with just a bit of echoes or reverb to see how it would sound.
Lovely performance to all,that bass sounds cool too.

Times ago, I tried to play bass on this, but I couldn't... This needed your bass line :)

Now this is some fine stoner music... I could dive into a batch of brownies and listen to this all day. The instruments... the vocals everything fits perfect... well done METER's!!!

I'd like to hear a cleaner mix too on the vocals but then the closest I've ever got to drugs is Paracetamol.

I agree though, it needed the bass.

MET on!

The player does not work - I had to download the file.

I love these psychedelic experiments. :) A little too much sibilance and harshness on the vocal track, but otherwise really cool.

Great songwriting Kari and guitar sound! I dig the bass and it's presence in the mix...just right to my ears...well done Launched. Some fine words and psychedelic singing Ella. Good steady drums Hook. It puts me in a Magical Mystery Tour mood. Magic all !!!!!

Aaaaaah!
I'm going to have to say " stunning" too! Lol
All you guys did an awesome job. I'm going to have to say the vocals really knocked it out of the park. What effects are used? Sounds like flange/ phaser type, but I really like it. I can tell Ella's voice without effects are superb though. Great melody Kari! Bass is perfect, and Hook, your involvement in any song brings a pro touch.

Lovely composition and great haunting vocal. The overall presentation reminds me a little of Björk IMO.
