As Long As You're Around
Liner Notes
Sprinting with unfinished ideas again! Working with my Epi Casino and the Sonicake Levitate this time.
Still voice memos because sprinting is still not conducive, timewise, to my being able to set up studio gear.
Lyrics
i missed my mama barely knew my pa and i gave up on jesus trying to find god
as long as you're around, i'm safe from all the monsters as long as you're around, i don't think about the end as long as you're around, i feel a healing from the heartache as long as you're around, i'm feeling like i'm on the mend
i keep on running try not to fall isn't it stunning the weight of it all

Really good singing and playing. Nice one take. I like the change in dynamics in this song. Very thought provoking lyrics.

The reverb/delay is so perfect for this lament of the verse, and just the overall vibe, it provides just a bit more glue for everything. Very nice touch. The switch to a hopeful and appreciative lyric at the chorus is a nice contrast. I think you’ve got the perfect amount of things going on in the accompaniment to really elevate the vocals and the lyrics. Great song

Beautiful unhurried etherealness and pop-out chord flecks. I will steal a couple of ideas for future use, hope that's ok!

Lotta soul in this. Very honest-sounding vocals, and I like the restrained guitar. It works well.
