Final track final track final track
I hate this track. Not because I think it sucks but because doing this revealed how little I actually know, how stupid my workflow is, how nothing I know about vocal ANYTHING and how cobbled together everything I do is.
Screw this track.
Track name: If Heaven Calls
Genre: Some form of SID Metal idfk
I did guitar, vocals, used a flex preset for the synth bass, used serum to construct synth leads, and used a flex drumkit layered with one shot Paramore style kick and snare. Lotta other junk too, but that's the essentials.
I decided day one I wanted to join, but didn't get working on it until about 14 days into the month. First production day was a lot of figuring out guitar progressions, and getting some filler lyrics in so I could work on the concept. Then life kept getting in the way until it was down to the last two days, and that's when most of the track was done. I spent about 9 straight hours finishing it all up on the last day. Pitch correcting vocals sucks when you don't have a process figured out, and I couldn't get my guitar recordings to stop buzzing intermittently, so there's some fuzz in the first verse.
Anyway, hope everyone enjoys it. I do genuinely love this track, I'm just mad that I didn't give myself enough time to make it as perfect as I wanted it to be.

Lyrics:
Covered by the darkness of the night
We struggle with the battle ahead
Now the ground is strewn with bodies and
there is nothing left alive I dread
-Can't feel the fire in my soul
Pressing on, I know I'm losing control
In my heart, the darkest chasm below the lies I've built to save me
We all want to save the world but
What's the point if we can't even
See beyond the fiction we believe in what's the
point if we can't save- our- selves-
-
Reaching for the light
Through dark and imperfection
In shadow we unite
Establishing connections
The price we've paid, the wounds and scars
To touch the light of just one star
If Hea. Ven. Calls. My. Name.
I'm The One They Will Blame
-
Struggling with every step I take
Pressing on, but I'm beginning to break
Is there anyone alive that can show me truth and help me light my way?
-I've been so tired of the conflict
I'm a convict by design
And I know that I'm the one that's broke it all but it's true that
We all want to change the world but
What's the point if we can't even
See beyond the fiction we've created what's the
point if we can't change- our- selves-
-
Reaching for the light
Through dark and imperfection
In shadow we unite
Establishing connections
The price we've paid, the wounds and scars
To touch the light of just one star
If Hea. Ven. Is. To. Blame
Why Do We All Feel The Same
-
I'm not buying what I sell
I've opened my eyes, am changing myself
I can't atone for everything I've done
BUT I'M STARTING WITH THIS ONE
-Synth Solo-
Reaching for the light that feels like it never comes
-
Reaching for the light
Through dark and imperfection
In shadow we unite
Establishing connections
The price we've paid, the wounds and scars
To touch the light of just one star
If Hea. Ven. Is. To. Blame
Why Do We All Feel The Same
-
Reaching for the light
I've found my new direction
Pushing through the blight
And seeking out correction
The price I've paid, the wounds and scars
To touch the the truth that seemed so far
If Hea. Ven. Calls. My. Name.
, if you like it that way, you don't need to change it, just for the sake of the competition announcement.
