This is actually a 3-4 year old demo that I never got around to finishing. I think I never uploaded bc I was never satisfied with the mix, but here it is. May do an update someday.


This song is about gambling addiction, something I actually went thru for a brief time.


LYRICS:


Dancing, gambling your own home, you decide...

To balance and gallop right on a thin line


Are you a hopeless addict? Do you know...

the things that are hurting you til you're way below?


Handling chances as you try to chase time

No plan - you ran the tight rope, are you fine?


Are you a hopeless addict? Do you know... the things that are hurting you til you're way below?

Let it go this time


You feel this place is somewhere you belong

Can't shake that feeling something's very wrong

You'd free yourself but the grip is too strong


You're giving in, it drags you on and on

You hope some way will lead you from this song

You need some help, to bring back what's gone

Broke


Laughing at your actions - you bought loss

Can you understand the impact of your faults?


Are you a hopeless addict? Do you know... Things here are hurting you til you're way below

Let it go, it's time


Consequences keep all of us from ending Karma dances, actions impact every single day you come across

Consequences bring you karma you have wrought


You feel this place is somewhere you belong

Can't shake that feeling something's very wrong

You'd free yourself, but the grip is too strong


You're giving in, it drags you on and on

You know some way will lead you from this song

You need some help, to bring back what's gone

i like this. I like what you are going for. I would personally do this a bit cleaner. Your vox, i'd have a clean verb'd take and a second low effected double track. A simple kick drum would go a long way to maintaining a sense of rhythm. Try having your guitar and support at 33-50 l and r to spread the mix. There's some minor peaking on the mid low from the action on the guitar, a compressor in that lower range will help eliminate that.

What you have here is very indie, sounding like west coast post grunge and british shoe gaze. It's full of potential. I can imagine a real nice deep clean bass underpinning with a funk groove like early rhcp.

I think the key thing here is getting clean vox, a clean guitar, bass and kick as the main groove, use the fx to support rather than being the lead. Just time, rewrite and refine. there's a hit here somewhere.
