Some might remember that I wrote a while ago about our process of writing and recording songs for the new album, and that we intended to record it live (i.e. backing tracks would be played by all the band at once and simultaneously) and that a performance would only be kept if it was good, no post editing allowed as a premise.
Well, life gets in the way sometimes: Our keyboard player had to have heart valve surgery, which was totally unforeseen and threw us all back for a few months (operation, rehab, reconvalescence).
In the meantime we rehearsed of course but refused to record as that would have been against the premise of playing together.
But now we're back in the game (with him of course) and are going steadily.
I just finished the first song 'TOO MANY GODS IN THE SKY' (which we believe will be the title track).
It features drums, bass, keyboards and two guitars, all recorded live together with no post editing.
Vocals were overdubbed though.
The mix is quite like I imagined it to be, perhaps vocals could be a little bit less loud.
let's hear some opinions, please.
Here it is:
Lyrics:
Too Many Gods In The Sky
Verse
Waking up and my heart is empty
The papers tell me about rotten relationships
The neon lights are all so tempting
I feel surrounded by 1000 ego trips
A perfect life that I would like to live
Is something they cannot give me
But they seem to know what's good for you
And I wonder why?
Chorus
Too many gods in the sky
Too many float my cathedral
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Greed is the root of all evil
Evil
Verse
I never thought we'd be so stupid
When all I ever wanted was talk to you
Too many people seem to lose it
Religious leaders claim to have a clue
Telling young men to blow themselves up
There is no truth in a lie
How can I even make it stop
All you do is die
Chorus
Too many gods in the sky
Too many float my cathedral
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Hate is the root of all evil
Hate is the root of all evil
Mittelteil
We're all stuck on a grid
We're stuck on a grid
We're stuck on a grid
We're all drowning bit by bit
We're drowning bit by bit
Drowning bit by bit
We're all stuck on a grid
We're stuck on a grid
We're stuck on a grid and I say
ba-ba-ba-da
ba-ba-ba-da
ba-ba-ba-da
ba-ba
We're all dying bit by bit
Dying bit by bit
We're dying bit by bit and I say
ba-ba-ba-da
ba-ba-ba-da
ba-ba-ba-da
ba-ba
Chorus
Too many gods in the sky
Too many float my cathedral
Dancing with tears in my eyes
God is the root of all evil .
Chorus
Too many gods in the sky
Too many float my cathedral
This is all passing me by
I'll never lose my free will
Outro
I'll never lose my free will.
I'll never lose my free will.
