Song Description

As you stroll towards the sun, the first step in your transition from the everyday life into the realm of the ocean.

Your software macros, those habits that run each and every day and make you do what you do... must be quelled. To reveal the true center that is you.

Listen through what you know, to that greater knowledge out there. She's always been there. Waiting for you. Dressed in love. The green-eyed lady.

~~~ notes ~~~

I used the GarageBand "Hybrid Morph" software instrument, starting with the "Circuit Dialog" loop for the footsteps in the cavern effect. It's also used with "Star Sweeper" as a start for the long breathing sounds, perhaps what a surf sounds like underwater in the distance.

For the bass, I started with the "Thumpy Hip Hop Bass 01" loop for the rhythm, but modified most of the notes and the loop length.

The organ is the "Tone-Wheel Organ" doubling the bass. It reminds me of the old Hammond organ.

For the electric piano, made up some chords to go with the bass.
