JamesAndrewHarris Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I wrote this song, and the lyrics that go with it. I am curious to what people think and interpret the song to be about. For the past year or so I've been working on a music recording project with a solo artist, where I make the music and she writes the lyrics and sings. This topic is being made purely out of interest. First: The song - https://soundcloud.com/jamesandrewharrisgrant/lux-astri-instrumental-demo-01 (Tomorrow I am going to polish it off, and tweak some things I don't like, please by all means share any constructive points about the mixing and the song overall.)Secondly the lyrics. - https://www.evernote.com/shard/s496/sh/1426ecd6-b624-415e-beee-d2ac66f7b44f/f1df4255df3af122I would really like to encourage opinions on what you guys think the song is about.

Netsrac Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well, I'd say the song is about a peaceful death, since the lyrics seem to be indicating that, and so does the song (at least it would be quite fitting). About the mixing: It sounds good to me, only the parts where the instruments become louder could be just a bit louder, just to differentiate it from the softer parts. Juuuuust a bit though.

JamesAndrewHarris Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm going into the studio today to fix some of the things wrong with the composition and the mixing. *EDIT - 21:10 09/01/2015*Today I went back into the project folder and changed what I didn't like and added a new E_piano in the chorus to differentiate between the two. I also changed the volumes of certain sections and instruments, one big change was the ending and the second was the volume of the synth lead just before the organ section. I also changed the break after the first chorus to become a verse, by changing the arrangement of the pads and guitar. Tomorrow, I am going to revise the early lyrics to see if there is anything I can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
