I can't help but picture myself in a hospital room during a sunset or something when I hear this song haha, love it.

Haha. Not quite what I envisioned. But as long as the image works for you, I'd call it a success :)

Cheers man,

Ahhh...brilliant...not much to say...

just one thought: there are huge differences between genre definitions...if you like , listen to my new rock track...:-)

anyways...avantgarde chill/rock with your master voice...

hats off, Danke

Thanks for listening. Glad you enjoyed the track.
I've downloaded your song and will see if I can come up with anything. No promises on results though. I seem to have a mental barrier when it comes to performing in other peoples music. Will message you and let you know either way.

Cheers,

I listened to an audiobook 'Creatures of the Abyss' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oQQ2UtelY About aliens setting up an intergalatic trading post beneath the ocean. They say the ocean is the last great frontier on this planet as we've pretty much thoroughly explored everywhere else. I would not be at all surprised to find out about sea monsters down there. Cool concept :D I did 'The old one Awaketh' about Cthulu. Isn't The Doom that came to Saranth also about sea creatures?

I do recall the track actually. I hadn't realized we were dancing (or moshing) around the same themes. My title is even similar to yours!
I do love the work of Lovecraft, he's the king of written dread. I haven't read Saranth, but I do love Shadow Over Innsmouth.
I'm glad you are as fascinated about the subject as I am, there's just so much you can do with it creatively

Is this a black candle we're talking about? ;) Very cool. I wish I could sing. Strangling a cat and recording it would sound better than me trying!
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 8th Jan 2016 - 9 years ago
No black candle this time; just something a little positive for a change :p
And keep practicing with your voice. Mine is never as good as I want it to be. But just hum along to whatever you're writing and you might surprise yourself; you may have a style of voice that fits the song :)

Cheers,

Like others have said, very cinematic piece and very well done! I read every comment and totally agree with them all.

I know what you mean about liking your own vocals, I am the same way but try to find a singing range or style you feel comfortable with and use it to your advantage. I had always sang backups so it took me several years to find my comfort zone for the lead. The singing is pretty good here. Ed mentioned David Gilmore and that's what I thought instantly when you started singing. It would work great on a concept album. I also think the length of it is good and getting all that you accomplished in 2:38 is a very good sign of some mighty fine songwriting.

Cheers!

I love your voice on this one. Smooth production. I could see this in a movie. The piano fade out is interesting to say the least, sort of how DJ's fade out a drum section so you can mix the next song, you have done this from a visual thought process. the fading piano allows the director to end a scene and bring in a new visual. Bravo.

Thank you very much. That's exactly what I had in mind. The staccato piano is meant to fade out on the characters growing sense of frustration as they fall into depression. It's very downbeat, but that's kinda what I do. Glad you enjoyed.

Cheers

lovely piano and vocals are brilliant. rough sound and fit the background perfectly, like an RPG game! very nice bass glide.

Definitely would work as a closing track. Sounds real good on my stereo too. I like the piano interlude at 1:31, I think the vocals (singing part) should come back one more time at 1:41 then back into piano then into that ending piano at 2:02, just my thought. Cool song :D When's your album going to be coming out? I've been meaning to put together a concept album with video, always sidetracked with something...

toastedavalanche replied 23rd Dec 2015 - 9 years ago
Thank you for your input Phatkatz4, it is always appreciated. A lot of people seem to feel the track should have a second round of vocals. I'm not adverse to this idea, except I have no idea what else to say. The lyrics are so simple that they summarize the songs concept as they stand. Maybe some inspiration will come and I'll expand it, I'll have to think on it.
As for the album. No deadline just yet. As you can see, I'm terrible at making commitments! :P

This is good stuff.

Pleasant piano intro, with a good tone and flow.

Vocal is really quite strong, in a laidback way. You can kind of sing along to it. Good chord changes. Simple lyrics that make sense.

0:48 it gets much deeper with those additional harmony vocals. A warm sound and the bass is also warm and comforting.

1:06 new synth instrument (organ?) that's kind of psychedelic as the harmony vocals come to the fore.

Droning bass is cool in the last 30 secs.

Odd structure to this and I see what you mean about it being a closing track. There's just the one section of vocal song and then it doesn't return when it feels as though it really should.

Overall: warm, pleasant and quite memorable stuff. Can't say I know quite who it sounds like. Really well produced such that I can barely fault it (and I always try).

Big congrats.

Thank you for your in-depth analysis. It's always fascinating to learn how other's hear what you've personally created.
I agree that the structure is a little odd, I wanted the vocals to feel isolated, as if there is little else that can be said.
Your compliments on the production have really made my day (and it's only 2am here), so I'm all set for the next 22hrs). I hope you have yourself a fantastic day too!

Thank you,

Sounds like you did this one the way I have done many in times past T.A...but even so its great therapy to be able to find a bit of music time out to replenish the mind & soul....Its a perfect album closer...makes me think..O.K.,,,just do a bit more...I really like it (seriously)..David Gilmour`s new album uses a similar approach...a short intro track called 5:00a.m....and a final track called "And Then"..that carries the same tune/theme forward...but, aside from all that..its just really well done....if you did the vocal (and I assume you did) take an extra bow...its really well done...Keep that whole album concept in mind and just do it...any what does it matter if it takes months...Its the kind of music that I can listen to for the rest of the night and its done with talent and feeling.....well done...Ed

Thank you for the kind compliments Tumbleweed. I did indeed do the vocals. I have actually been trying to get an album together. I have enough material, but I'm not sure on what direction to take it in. With this as a set ending I might be able to work it all out now. We shall see.
