"Asylum Pit" a Geir original

[Geir]

This is not a result of recording some 20+ tracks on "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep"  

Started this just after my previous Garageband tune, but finished it today recording the vocals on the BR800 with the Behringer mic.

This is also the début of my melodica, purchased in London last November.

Asylum Pit

w/m: Geir
Strings, organ, bass and drums played and recorded with Garageband.
Melodica recoded with iPad mic
Vocals and mastering on BR800

As I lump it all together
in a big pile of dirt
my back is aching
and my head hurts

nothing really matters
behind these padded walls
I can bang my head against the floor
or ram my fist in the door

nothing really matters
outside these walls
you can run to the tower
but you'll never see the shore

It looks like it hasn't uploaded properly Geir.

Fantastic brother. Back with a ipad,a melodoca and a vengence! I love it man.
Rock on!

[Greeny]

Total excellence! You've captured that epic kind of Scott Walker feel. The lyrics are superb and I love that elongated, rising vocal part. Sheer quality and talent.

Oh yes this is special. Holding that note and the musical buildup behind is outrageously amazing. You are in fire Geir!!

[Rata-tat-tat]

Getting a Nick Cave vibe on this one too, love the whole feel of this song it has such a deep warmth and quality to it.

Great use of GarageBand, did you record the drums by tapping your fingers on the kits in there? I have used these for small additions to songs, and must say they sound great here, and far more real sounding than the BR kits.

Absolutely top song!
