well, it's been a while, but I can safely say that this song is still not done. Ha!
I've been very busy working on it, but I moved, did a two week job related thing four towns away, researched a few local colleges, blah blah blah.
So here it is; chrome in it's near entirety.
I still want to redo all of the vocal tracks, because I was just getting over a cold, and the more i listen to this, the more I notice a general "flatness" to the overall vocal feel. That, and i'm still working on a few small details of the mixing. The initial crash of the first verse feels both too abrupt and too weak.
Aside from that, it's basically a song.

Lyrics
So as we master the new tounge, which is fully derived from the whole we could not contain or ever hope to bring to life.
We're asked not to be gone as long as when we were given to the night.
We gather and embrace, and chrome becomes our only light.
And through some frail new identity I know my name.
With the soft touch of a picture show I'm giving the chrome away.
I am released; softer now and more contained. Take the last seat pointing east and try to stay awake.
My badge is streched to touch the ground, and is soiled with every passing day, so I pull a stone from the ground and hang on to it, just in case.
and through some frail new identity i know my name.
With the soft touch of a picture show I'm giving our chrome away.
And oh, how I've used your name to spell relief for those inclined to giving their chrome away...
... it feels so strange that you'd remember me; I drew such a timid line which led to being drawn at night, to ensure that we both are blind to giving our chrome away.
I pull a stone from the ground and hang on to it just in case.
We're asked not to be gone as long as when we were given to the night.
We gather and embrace, and chrome becomes our only light.
And through some frail new identity I know my name.
With the soft touch of a picture show I'm giving the chrome away.
I am released; softer now and more contained. Take the last seat pointing east and try to stay awake.
My badge is streched to touch the ground, and is soiled with every passing day, so I pull a stone from the ground and hang on to it, just in case.
and through some frail new identity i know my name.
With the soft touch of a picture show I'm giving our chrome away.
And oh, how I've used your name to spell relief for those inclined to giving their chrome away...
... it feels so strange that you'd remember me; I drew such a timid line which led to being drawn at night, to ensure that we both are blind to giving our chrome away.
I pull a stone from the ground and hang on to it just in case.

This is a great song - powerful in its instrumentation and performance, and its ideas. Nice mix, I think, and some excellent lyrics. I love the vocal peformance on this. Nice harmonies, and sung with real feeling. I have to say I don't hear the flatness in your singing that you mention in your notes. The percussion works well, although I'm not sure about the toms (if that's what they are) over the "and through some frail new identity..." section - just a personal pref. Love the crackly static sound loop. Terrific work.
Okay, let me pick some nits - I would have brought the vocal up just a tad in the mix. It just seems to be a little "buried" to my ears. Also, the fade-out at the end seems incongruous to me. Not really sure why, but I would have liked the vocal to stop, and the music to revert to the opening loop, or something along those lines.
It has been a while, hasn't it? Glad to hear more of your work. Good stuff. Peace.
