I feel like I'm finally nearing the end of production on my album Evergreen; everything is recorded, and now it's just a question of final mixing and mastering. Here's a more or less final version of the song that started it all, Sail or Anchor. Fun fact: much of the percussion is recordings of Ann Druyan's brain waves from the Voyager golden record, combined with tiny (< 1 second) snippets of ASMR videos ripped from Youtube.
Lyrics:
I can't describe
what I see in this light
with my eyes wide open
Almost divine
so real and so right
so loud
unspoken
And it falls on me
soft like a frosty morning
Blurs the outline
it's too close to be seen
like the act of blinking
Hard to define
It's just a thing that you are
Without even thinking
And you'll always be what I need, be it sail or anchor
I'd gladly fight so hard for this love, but you make it easy
If you can't get by
on your own anymore
then you know that you can
Look to your side
and you'll know that I'm there
and you know that you can
Call on me to be what you need, either sail or anchor
I'd gladly fight so hard for this love but you make it easy
