Title: I Hear Music
Post by: Farrell Jackson on December 28, 2020, 01:31:36 PM

I Hear Music is collaboration with my musical friend Lorne.
Credits : Lorne - all the music and production. Farrell - All vocals, lyrics and vocal mix.
I Hear Music

(1) This primeval trail
Gets stranger at every turn
Tamping down the compost
With each and every step forward
(music interlude)
The redwoods tower
Like a New York skyscraper
With a thousand notes of music

(chr) I hear music in my head
It's whispering out a song
I hear music in my head
It's telling me to sing along

(2) As the water falls
The cool mist clears my mind
On it runs
Through a meadow to the sea
A million miles to be free

(chr) I hear music in my head
It's whispering out a song
I hear music in my head
It's telling me to sing along

(solo)

(chr) I hear music in my head
It's whispering out a song
I hear music in my head
It's telling me to sing along

Brilliant shifting dynamics that go from mellow to metal in such a clever, organic way. This is big, ambitious songwriting and perfectly delivered. That middle section is guitar heaven, lol. The panned guitars give such width and depth. Superb stuff.

Always classy stuff from you, Farrell. This is a magnificent effort with fantastic production skills. Love the light and shade of the dynamics. Those guitars - jeez! Mixed and mastered to perfection. Great job; well done.

EXCELLENT!!! Cool intro and even cooler outro...but what's in between is killer. First off, i'm drawn to the darkness of it all...those metal guitar tones at the bottom are awesome...as are the guitar solos..but overall what really iced the cake was the great dynamics and wonderful mix and production. The lyrics fit like a glove Farrell and you sang it perfectly. Combining the two and you have a terrific tune here. 5 stars guys...time well spent!
