Liner Notes

The first song/poem.

My theme is 'Commit'.

Written on the way to work. It was the act of committing to completing a song between when I stepped onto the tube train and when I had to leave.

I then wrote the idea on guitar and created a rough demo.

As my time is limited, I then used AI to replace the vocals and turn the guitars into synths. It is cheating, but the words and the chords are as they were originally.

Lyrics

I am stepping out of the plane, In words, And letting the gravity of prose, Separate me from those, That has never shaped a lyric, Or committed to a poem.

Each word is time in free fall, A space passed through, A thought in the air I’m passing through.

And the world stretches out With no clear landing spot I think of trees And buildings And those who fill those rooms.

But in reality I am crammed in a carriage My feet upon the bucking floor My hand clings tight to the metal If I let go, I will fall

So My time is limited I gather my thoughts And let the final lines rush towards me With a sense of urgency

There is no space left The rush The hour The ground The platform Find me Terra firmer than I expected I land Unharmed.

I'm digging it!

Nice step-arp synth. Some evocative sounds in the mix... and I like how you've dropped the drums in and out and filled with violins and piano. Lovely. The spoken word is very effective. Love the atmosphere. I'd like to hear the original guitar-based version as well though.

I’m working out how to have the rough version along side the produced demo to show the process. I think it would be interesting for others

I really like this. Also how the lyrics blend well with the music it seems like they belong together and the lyrics respond to the music
