How To Forget - Toastedavalanche

4th Apr 2016 20:42 - 10 years ago
Description : I've always wanted to make a track about how it feels to suffer from anxiety. On days when everything seems so incredibly overwhelming, it seems that the mind becomes a manic, unwieldy, crunching machine that doesn't want to stop.
I can honestly say that the song in itself has caused it's fair share of anxiety, with over a hundred homemade samples it's been a difficult beast at the best of times. Anyway, it's here now, please enjoy.

Haha. I'm glad you liked the track. It's something waaaay different from my usual. It's not where I want it to be, but I'm amazed I got this far with it. So it's a win in my book :p

Thanks for your comments. Always appreciated.

listening through the mixing issues there lies the beat of a really creative song that has a really strong message. I also love the vocals and they need to stand out more. This is like a raw demo of a Kate Bush cloudbusting era tune from a male perspective! Keep working at this one.

Thanks for listening Crucethus. I've only recently started listening to Kate Bush. Although I remember seeing the video for Experiment IV as a kid and having nightmares for weeks. Anyways, I love how every song she makes has it's own unique signature. They're always engaging, but never sound like Pop from a can :P
I think I may put this track aside for a while and re-evaluate it at a later date. Otherwise I may end up making it worse and I'll lose it anyway. Thanks again.

One of the best tracks I've been listening here on Loopey
in past few weeks. This is what I call a good taste! Unpretentious but full of creativity and skillfullness. On top of it vocals and interpretation are splendid ! What a pitty I can't download this.:(...Big 'fav'!

Compliments and respect______Orlando

Hi Orlando.
Really glad you like the track and that you don't find it pretentious (I always find myself thinking "Have I gone too far this time!?"). Sorry about the lack of download, I get the feeling that I may go back and tweak a few things that still don't sit right in the mix. I appreciate the 'fav' though, always makes me smile :)

Hi Danke. Really glad you like the track. I worked so hard on building and mixing it, that by the time I recorded the vox I was scared I might ruin it! I'm glad it paid off though. I'm sorry I didn't give you the chorus you would've liked, but I had no idea what to sing on those parts. And I'd rather have no vocals than half-arsed ones :P

Description : Peace
Peace is something I haven't felt in a while.
Im not talking about the small moments where you feel peaceful.

Im talking about being at Peace. The kind where you sit in the rain/snow, and just...lay there. In the moment where you accept yourself..

Description : I wanted to produce something as close to conventional trap as I could, while still keeping the Mindway sound. The verses and bridge are as close to rapping as I will probably ever get, and using 808s is kinda growing on me. Maybe could be better, but I am liking where it is.
