Artist FavoriteLiner Notes
@mdavisto says: This took longer than it should have, cos my car got Tboned. I wasn't even in it at the time, but, admin. Gah! Anyhoo, take note, 99% of the vocal effects are @sciren's own handiwork - the screws, the reversed delay, she did all that shit. I'm just along for the ride on this one.
@sciren says: My year old D&D campaign (Barrowmaze, 5th edition) came to an end over the weekend, and the tragedy of it all inspired me a little. Also, let me just say, I get pumped when my strange effects and chops end up in the final FAWM mix! I’ll definitely be trying out some more of that this year. Pretty pumped with how this one turned out. At this point I should be used to the magic @mdavisto makes around my ideas, but he surprises me every time! This’ll be on our next release, for sure.
Lyrics
We've seen so much damage done
We've been so long on the run
In this maze, stuck for days and days and days
(days and days and days)
Seen so many enemies
Bring us down upon our knees
We used the powers that last for hours and hours and hours
(hours and hours and hours)
And if I'm losing my voice, you'll be the melody for me
And when I don't have a choice, you'll be my guarantee
And when I'm losing my way, you'll have the map there for me
I won't be dreading the days, you'll be my guarantee
And if I'm taking the hit, you'll have a remedy for me
And when I can't find the way, you'll be the guarantee
And when I swear there's no end, you'll cast a light just for me
I won't be ending the days without my guarantee

Holy crapola another awesome song from start to finish. You two are like the Wonder Twins from the Super Friends, but.... with music ... and cool... 😀

This is so gooooooood! Even despite hitting me in my nerdfeels, The lyrics work so perfectly as pop lyrics. Awesome melody and production and backing track. The Echo on the vocals works really, really well on this.

Breath taken at 0:52. Giants!
@chezwizboy Feb 18
Wow! I can't keep from listening to your tracks. The chopped up "drum fill" edit must have taken you ages. It not only breaks things up but does so with such a crisp pop. My ears thank you.
@julesbf Feb 18
Never disappoints always such a pleasure to hear what you both come up with. Amazing production and a lovely voice. Respect.
@mikedebenham Feb 15
The only thing better than one sciren is a whole echo chamber of 'em. Lovely stuff. Ethereal and punchy.
@tunecat Feb 14
Yeah... love the fx. And the big fat sound..
@kristian Feb 11
sorry about your car dude. had the same experience; luckily someone saw what happened so insurance fixed me up
but yeah.. the song?
soooo good, Love all those nifty vocal effects Lauren! great job.. and those drums! @mdavisto magic right here for sure... man you two are one of my highlights every FAWM; never cease to amaze me
@lazykat Feb 11
Wonderful collab. Great groove, wonderful voice!!
@susyblue Feb 11
Wowsers as usual - loving that bass and those vocals, smashing the fx sciren! Killer chorus, ok well killer everything. Love that little bit around 1.20!
@looprication Feb 11
This. Is. Brilliant. I checked out @sciren 's Web site, and when I saw the influences, I was like, ahhhhhh yesssssss. I love everything about this, and so between that and my (hopefully) temporarily loss of cognitive function while listening to this, I'm having trouble articulating anything specific, so I'll say this:
I love this collaboration. Love, love, love.
Love the way you're naming your projects as well, I'm truly excited to hear what's next for this project!
@coolparadiso Feb 10
very professionally produced - very nice
@andread Feb 10
Wow. Just Wow. Love this. Great vocals, lyrics and sound work. I really enjoy the resonating tones of the vocals as well.
@paulhenry Feb 9
I like the way you extend the musical material, and I really like that first line of the, well, the chorus? the refrain? "And if I'm losing my voice. . . "
@darcistrutt Feb 9
I lost many hours to D & D. This love song is awesome! The whole package is wonderful and the chorus in particular was lovely! Amazing!
@expendablefriend Feb 9
You two work so well together. This somehow manages to sound huge and delicate at the same time. Damn, those vocal effects sound good!
@mitchmash Feb 9
Wow. Another great track. Love the lyrics especially 'if I'm losing my voice you'll be the melody for me'. Excellent vocals - love the effects. Everything gels perfectly. (Sorry about the car - glad you weren't hurt).
@guatecoop Feb 9
Wow, those vocals! Right away and I like how it is a fairly clean vocal up front with the effects behind. This one has a nice pace with nice melodies and rhythms. Great!
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 9
Dig this a lot. Different vibes from you guys this year. A little more chill and laid back, if that's a thing to describe awesome Fawmtronica? Kinda reminds me of Phantogram for some reason here. Excellent work. The vocal effects were a cool touch.
@bradbrubaker Feb 8
The echo-y background vocals are really cool, how they swirl all around.
@oddbod Feb 8
A little more of a reserved number from you guys this one. Not that it’s without its clever tricks. That decelerating stutter is very nice. As we’ve come to expect the vocals are excellent.
@elliottlawrence Feb 8
I kind of hate how good you two are at FAWM. It's not fair! This is amazing! Instantly catchy, and one of those songs that just sounds so right. All the vocal effects are really cool too.
@adforperu Feb 7
A load of space in that first verse, nice. @mdavisto has really let @sciren have this one.. quite a minimal and unbusy (that's not a word is it..) to allow the vocal to take centre stage. Saying that, the beat is awesome in the chorus, awesome snare and tom fills
@shortdan Feb 7
Great vocal treatment in this one. Some of the little distant looped bits are really effective. Love the stutters too! Really slick mix as per usual. Nice work again guys!
@tesla3090 Feb 7
The filtering on the vox in the intro are great! It really pulls you in and gets you excited for the rest of the song.
And that sucks about the car. Glad you weren't in it though
@ampersandman Feb 7
Greatness! That hook line comes with barbs, so the composition is already a winner. But then there's that vocal performance. And that production with the cool beat and the oh so tasty synths which makes this a true gem. I'm impressed.
@visiblydistorted Feb 7
I absolutely love that these lyrics are inspired by D&D. That makes the whole thing ten times more precious.
@boyatheart Feb 7
Hypnotic. A really superb collaboration.
@tseaver Feb 7
Excellent collab! The pairings in the chorus are really great!
@nuj4x Feb 7
I knew within the first five seconds of this song, that it was a winner. I wasn't prepared for what would follow those five seconds. The beat is fire, elegant and smooth. The vocals are absolutely amazing, the production, the echos in the background, the whispers, the effects....its a masterpiece. MASTERPIECE I TELL YOU!
I loved the transition skip in the break. I use that effect quite often myself! The chorus is catchy, the lyrics flow amazingly....I'm so jealous of these lyrics. This is so overwhelming and amazing, I feel my heart filling up with light and happiness.
Praise you. Praise you both for this. The world needs this song and doesn't even know it. Its flawless. Its perfect. Praise you both.
@kovbleu Feb 7
@sciren brings another amazing lyric. That chorus is so dang catchy. @mdavisto - I'm so glad you weren't in your car!! OMG!! This is so smooth and had me head bobbing along at my desk. I'm always impressed with what the two of you come up with. So well produced every time. Excellent!!
@sapient Feb 7
Holy sweary things... How come I've not come across you too paired up before? I guess that's one of the things about FAWM. So many gems and so little time. This song is going to be the first one I'm going to shout about in the recommended songs thread. I listen to pop, like, never, but if I did then I would ABSOLUTELY want it to sound like this 😃😃😃
