Lyrics:
SWIMMER AND THE SIREN


In a wine red sea
You can swim to me
I’ll love you, love you
For all the miles you see
You can meet me here
When your mind is clear
I’ll hold you, hold you
I’m your anemone

Careful now, the darkening of the day
The shore is far, you have to try to swim away

I know it’s cold
I can see you’re bold
I’ll move you, move you
In currents that hold
A love that’s deep
The ocean will keep
The next time, next time
You call to me in sleep

Careful now, the darkening of the day
The shore is far, you have to try to swim away

You’ll hear my song
Before very long
We’ll meet here, meet here
In all the ocean’s throng
Soon you’ll believe
You won’t have to leave
I’ll teach you, teach you
You won’t need to breathe

I can feel your fingers pulling me down
I can feel your fingers pulling me down




In a wine red sea
You can swim to me
I’ll love you, love you
For all the miles you see
You can meet me here
When your mind is clear
I’ll hold you, hold you
I’m your anemone

peaceful vocals, they're kind of quiet tho it sort of creates a nice mysterious sound. the instrumental creates a nice sense of space.

Thanks! &mdash 04/18/08 - 01:11:08 AM
Thanks for your comments - I mixed the vocals down intentionally because I was trying to create a submersed feeling to fit with the mood and theme of the song. I might have mixed them too low.

I dig this a lot. Would like it if the vocals were up a bit. Funky and mellow.

Nice panning &mdash 04/18/08 - 01:03:04 AM
I really like the panning on this. It keeps my ears on edge waiting for the next turn. I like your hardware "tricks and slicks" (sounds more like Nascar racing hardware). I agree that the the vocals need to come up. I also think that the song ends sort of abruptly. Other than that this was a great mellow track.

vocals! &mdash 04/18/08 - 01:14:29 AM
That seems to be the consensus. When you get a mo - check out Jacobite and Tale of Three Ribbons on my page and let me know what you think. I'll be sure to listen to yours also. Thanks for taking the time...

i think the vox could come up just a tad. i like them quiet in the mix as it adds a dream quality. they're nice and mellow. oops i had the first comment on this lol didnt know i already commented. nice track.

Dream feeling . . . &mdash 04/19/08 - 12:06:28 PM
Like others have said, I like the ethereal quality to the sound of this song, but the vox are on the quiet side. The brief section where you lash out was an exciting variation in there too; I wish it were longer.

You have a knack for mixing your songs in engaging ways.

Glad you like the mix - many thought the vocals were too submerged!

Told you I'd come back and comment! Well, yes I agree the vocals could be up a little - you use a great, buttery soft voice for this which fits the tune very well. Honestly it felt too short for me...or maybe just such an abrupt ending. It's such a great romance song, needs to kind of fade out or dwindle or something - as you day-dream off into your lover's eyes... I'm curious as to why you ended it as you did.

Great kind of piano-bar, lounge act feel to it. (and then the lead guitarist just can't stand it anymore and breaks into his rock/punk bit) The mix is great I think, actually the vocals aren't too bad volume-wise. It fits with the tune. Nice song. I like it!
