Reflection - BlakeStringer

Description : November 30th marks the day my first single off my forthcoming album "Filter" has been released.

"Reflection" was uploaded earlier, chosen over 2 other singles I was contemplating over which single I was going to release first. It's got a Dirty-Electro feel to it, which is a major positive for first-impressions of the album, which is ultimately why it became single number 1

The song is about someone who thinks they're so mature and grown-up, when really they're just an "self-concious adolescent" inside who wants to act older than they are.

The chorus is basically saying that the "reflection" of that person is their true identity, and that they may need some "protection" when they realise that this is who they really are, since they may get shocked or "freak-out".

The main verse of the song is just myself giving insight on what I believe is happening in this person's mind, how they "over-estimate" what they think they can do, that they think they can "hold a life they can't tear" and also they're in a stage I dub as "psuedo-maturity" - i.e. faking their maturity

Anyways have a listen, and I hope you enjoy it

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
