Title: "Divided" w/Lurker
Post by: Blooby on March 26, 2017, 03:44:08 PM

I can picture John's wife, rolling her eyes at the middle section of this song. I have to tweak the mix due to some gremlins, but I have to walk away for a bit. Very nice to grab some recording time these last few days.

Another "I don't know what we've got here" posts.

Peace.

Divided

When we began we were so in tune
The next moment couldn't come too soon
Sometimes talking through the night
Or silently holding tight

I don't know how it turned so wrong
The end didn't take very long
We said and did things that were not kind
We stopped staring into each other's eyes

Since we have been divided
My heart has been benighted
I need you to let the light in

Both too stubborn to talk it out
Doesn't matter what it's about
Neither admitting we shared the blame
Every discussion would end the same

The last time I saw your face
I believe I saw a trace
Of regret as you watched me go
Trying not to let it show

Since we have been divided
My heart has been benighted
I need you to let the light in

Passed by your place last night
Thinking I might see a light
Didn't know what I was hoping for
Or what to say if you opened the door

But as I follow my separate path
Thinking of promises we'd let lapse
I find I'm wandering back this way
Seeking the courage it takes to stay

Since we have been divided
My heart has been benighted
I need you to let the light in

This is just fabulous.  Love the "sample and hold"y sounds in the middle section and the distance you have got into the echo-vocal bits in the same parts.

No rolling of eyes from me.  The end is a bit abrupt but I'm guessing this will be sorted in the final mix.

Blue eyed soul - With a twist! Very cool guys, love the uniqueness and the slightly dark vibe. The benighted vibe...
