about
A shoe-gazey type song with blistering guitar solos. I layered on all sorts of echo effects on my vocals; a technique inspired by Bradford Cox of Deerhunter fame. To achieve the sound, I recorded both the vocals and guitar solo twice, each with different echo effects, and blended them together in the final mix.
lyrics
It is one, it is here for you
It is all in the things you do
It is heat, it is freezing cold
It is life, it is 10 years old
It is dirt in our bleeding hands
In the sky, in the earth and sand
It's the sun in your eyes of blue
It is truth, I am here for you
It is lost, it can still be found
Over there in the winter ground
If you're frightened of what you know
You are here in the ebb and flow
It is burned in the blackened coal
It is deep in your sheltered soul
It is torn in the pouring rain
It is love, it is here again
