Let me know what you think. Any feedback helps. Even one word.

Bad and/or good helps.

Good energy in the music, really liked it. I'm always paying attention to lyrics and I think I get the message here, seems like it needs a solution. I really dig it though, very nice.

It sounds like someone freely expressing themselves, I like it. Nice work. Did you sample the guitar from Interpol?

guitar is mine. I'm using logic amp simulation with my les Paul. One thing I am upset about is that I used apple loops for all the drums. Everything else is hand made. No arpeggiators.

What do you think the lyrics are talking about?

I'm Probly just going to add a strange guitar solo to wrap it up. The song is kinda short for my liking.

Thanks guys!

Again, let me know what the lyrics are saying to you. Greatly appreciated!

The guitar in there sounds really clear, I would have thought it was sampled from something, nice work.
It seemed to me that the lyrics were elaborating on a certain area of societal behavior, one that came across to me as having a negative effect or at least an inherent sense of ignorance. To me, bringing something to light and enlightening something are two separate things, like a problem and a solution. That's all I was trying to say, not tryin' to bag on it. Maybe I misunderstood, what IS the song about? I'm curios of the writers point of view. I'm one that values lyrical content, with the purpose of positive headspaces.
I think this song is worthy of extending. I'm all about crazy guitar solos, or whatever, but it sounds good so far.
Come on man, tell me what it's all about

love the mix and arrangement. very impressive.

not so sure about the melody. but that is a matter of taste or its the free expression feel of the lyrics. so dont take my word for it.

i honestly cannot make out all of the lyrics. but from what I can discern, seems like you are talking about man vs. God? that is, man trying to control the earth that he's not really in control of? OTOH, the lyrics seem kind of random. ;-)

i only thought the guitar was a sample because of how you played it, but actually you played it that way because it goes with the song/fit your vision. :-) sounds good

Tell me if you like or hate this synth solo at 75% into the song. Thanks everybody! I havent been in the studio for like a month!!!! Busy with work, thank god.

Oh, yeah, and luccien is absolutely right! It is about how man tries to control the world but has empty hands before God.

I think I lost 90% of yall's interest now, huh.
