Wings Clipped

Liner Notes
This one just started with capo on 5 and Jamming.
The lyrics are dark about being an Artist and dealing with alcoholism. I wanted the music to feel like it was live in an Irish pub.
Instrumentation:
Acoustic Guitar Bodran Shaker Violin Vocal 1 Vocal 2
I did somethings with production and mic techniques to make it feel more live.
Lyrics
Wings clipped
Chorus
I can see the stairwell I can hear the rain drops I can feel the breeze As the curtain blows My mind is spinning Crazy Paralyzed and hazy My body shakes Like it’s freezing cold
This story’s old I know I’ve lost hold again I feel I’ve still Got chapters untold
Chorus Friday night Is always such a fight I don’t know how To get things right On the stage This steel cage In this tank I drink in rage
V2 Blackness And blackouts sullen bleakness Frank lament All these stupid game track the same As self-pity And regrets

Thank you! I am glad you like this one. The pub sound is very different for me.

The doubled vocal nails the pub vibe immediately. The dynamic shift and violin into the verse lend this a certain theatrical quality, it captures the emotions you're going for great. Big fan of the vocals and percussion on the chorus. Really really good tune.
Thank you so much! This one was a very different way of recording vocals but man I think it helps my pitch. Two large diaphragm condensers but I had to phase invert the room one.

Nice instrumentation! I especially like the contrast between the chill violin and the aggressive guitar. I also like the doubled vocal effect. Wonderful song!
