The Fall Of Our Kind

Intro:

Verse 1:
In the shadows of the city
Concrete meets the sky
A super symphony of progress 
Where humanity starts to die

Verse 2:
Neon lights and flashing screens
We’re blinded by the globe
Lost in a digital dream
As our souls begin to erode

Chorus:
The fall of our kind
With our new elected we're left behind
All of our kind, we must fall
And we'll leave all that behind
Leave ourselves behind
 
Verse 3:
We were born to be wild
Now we're just caged animals
But the concrete city
Answer to the cold winds cattle call
Oh ooh ooooh

Repeat Chorus:
Guitar Solo:
Repeat Verse 2 as Bridge:

Repeat Chorus x 2:
Keys solo:
Outro:

Aaaah. That was fun. Appreciate the musicianship, swell guitar work. 

Nice vocal delivery!!! A bit sibilant in the esses, I was listening on decent earbuds. The bass came through nicely.

Your lyrics are wrong? Isn't it "caged animals"?

The chorus sticks.

Well done y'all. 

[Lynn Wilson]

From embryo to maturity, this song has gone through quite an evolution.  The fact that it got finished at all is due to Ed's patience and persistence.  I'm happy to have been a part of this project!  Congratulation, Ed!

[michaelhanson]

Nice tune, well done by all!  Typical excellent Bapu production. 

How do you guys get Sound Cloud to embed in the Cakewalk forum?  It’s very easy on other sites, but I’ve tried everything here and can just not figure it out.  I asked this on my tune as well, if it’s more appropriate to reply there.

Loads of work here, so well done! I listened to it a few times now and the production must have been a nightmare the construction of this song is IMV 2nd to none .. Well done Ed for being so tenacious think it payed off in spades.

Nice work on this Ed and all! 😎👏👏🎶🎶🎶🎶

Sounds great - the collab works nicely!

[Gswitz]

Enjoyed it. Ty

[Keith Wilby]

What an epic song that is. Very nice work indeed. If I may have one very minor comment, to me it seems like the vocals are sitting on top of the rest of the mix in the first verse. Everything evens out after that. Certainly one to be proud of. I struggle with lyrics, I think these will provide some inspiration 🙂

[Bajan Blue]

Hi All

I really like this - great song and great playing - and of course, Ed's great mix

Cool stuff

Thanks PB.

Fixed the lyric.

Huart's remarks were interesting!!! It sounds like he wanted it mixed the way he would have mixed it, which is a super subjective criticism. But how cool to be included! I gather you guys submitted it somehow?

I am a lifetime member of Produce Like A Pro, where we have access to a private forum where you can submit it for review. They only randomly pick 10 songs a week and typically there are anywhere from 15 to 25 submissions.

The membership also provides multi-tracks for songs that Warren (or other producers) have recorded with guests artists or sometimes with a young upcoming band. The members can mix those and submit them for review. I've never done that. I've submitted about 7 or 8 songs over the past two years. Only originals.

yeah, but isn't that what we all may do here and anywhere else we listen to other members songs submitted for comments?

Since Warren is an accomplished/recognized/pro engineer and producer his (subjective) comments carry at least 1.2 ounces of weight over the *average* bedroom producer (of which I am one  🙂 for sure)

Very cool song, great production.  Everything fits together so smoothly. And the vocalist comes in from another planet.  Great stuff!

Very cool Ed.  Interesting feedback.  I had to checkout membership, it’s tempting. 

[Zargg]

Very cool song, mate🤘

Warren's comments were good. He even compared it with a song Mark Endert did, and that's his favorite producer/mixer😎

All the best.

[Wookiee]

Another Edwardo classic. Honestly not keen on the double tracked vocal on the verses, works on the chorus other then that a well produced and mixed tune.
