Wookiee Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Lyrics City lights of the night leave me blinded The Silence of these hills deafen me. Grey Gull skims the White horses Oystercatcher fails in its quest once more Gaia sighs Moon dreams fall upon the open sea insipid thoughts slip through the mind fog Tyrannical fools try to rule the world. Destroying what they cannot have Gaia cries Long forgotten ocean creatures Fall as polluted rain Once Sleeping trees roar once more A different canopy they do deploy Gaia weeps Mother earth gives to us and we do take Thank you never do we say Just abuse her and user her Then complain when she takes her price Gaia Weeps Gaia weeps, on Mothers shoulders Mother cries in Gaia’s arms Thanks for the ears and time.

Bajan Blue Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Hi Wookie this is really great - enjoyed this immensely - what reverb are you using? - I particularly liked the reverb in the opening gong type sound Cool Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Wookie , that was a Very creative and Highly interesting production. Very nice trippy lyrics. I believe I would try a vocal "whisper" track on top of the vocoder with your Raum Airy reverb. The printed lyrics were a big help but you "might" be able to whisper them. I Really enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I used Native Instruments Raum reverb FX with a long regenerative tail. I then send a hint to the global reverb buss which has Overloud's Breverb hall preset to set it in the soundstage. Thanks for the ears and kind words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Excellent. I really like this one Wookie. Chimes at the beginning reminded me of church bells for a funeral. Seemed appropriate for subject. "Then complain when she takes her price" stood out to me. Nice way to express the issue. I had trouble understanding the lyrics via vocoder. Maybe back it off or do what Mark suggested? But could just be me b/c of hearing loss at certain freqs. You've inspired me to experiment with vocoders. Never done that before. -Bjorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know you enjoyed the trippy lyrics, as always your time, ears and comments are appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xoo Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Some kind of shimmer reverb by any chance? That would work well with spoken words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked 'destroying what they cannot have.' Thanks, the lyrics have been lurking for a couple of months, just had the best way to "sing"(sic) them. As is so often the case the simplest progression worked the best. Good to hear you found them interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markno999 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Wookiee, Very cool song, have always been a fan of vocoder since first hearing it in Mr. Blue Sky back in the 70's. I like how you have given it a modern twist. Great listen. Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
