Lyrics:
Ride into the road and dieI can feel the light of diamond toes
Her eyes pride into the dark night
To all her woes
Glide into the sea and die
I can see the sound of ivory rows
Her mouth slides into a broad smile
To all the woes
Fly into the sky and die
I can hear the touch of ruby coals
Her skin melts into a downwind
With all her woes

is terrific - dark and engaging. I love the bass sounds, and the vocal effect works well. Great sound overall; the voice sounds really good. The drums work very well, I think - not what I expected, and that's good! I like the imagery-rich lyrics, too. Well-arranged and performed. I can see why you're happy! Nicely done. Peace.

I think I can still improve on the mix a bit, maybe through spacing or something. Any hints are very welcome. Anyway, I might give it a try. At least this time it will not be frustrating, but a lot more pleasurable. Thanks for stopping by.

I dig the song quite a bit! I also thing you're right that the vocals need to be more integrated with the mix. I think you can set a high-pass filter on the vox to cut out frequencies below 350Hz. This will separate the vox from all the other bass frequencies that you have going on and allow you to seat them back a bit. Add compression, light flange, and a long reverb (cut reverb frequencies below 500Hz) and it should be trippy!

Ah, Trip Hop; my favorite genre! Actually, I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I know nothing about this genre, but I really enjoyed this. Trippy for sure, and I like the gritty sonic world you created.

Hi Clark,
I get confused with genres. I actually posted this under "Electropop" to start with, but I've got it from good authority that this is more "Trip Hop". It fits anyway: I am hopping mad, and tripping most of the time. Thanks for the visit.

...trip hop only says the half of it...and I don't know what the other half is...but it's n-i-i-i-i-c-e...
Very unique and original. Kudos...

The sounds are very effective. Well done.

Love the experimenting going on here. The drums almost have that lazy Beatles vibe going on. It really adds a nice feel to the song. The lyrics really fit the music. Cool stuff

And here I thought we were suppose to die first - and then fly into the sky : >
This is a very trippy soundtrack that moves along at its own distinctive pace. I like what is here - yet I think there's is room to add more of those trippy sounds that go hopping through this spaced-out landscape.
Of course, the more I listen to it, the more I hear in it.

quite a dark arrangement. Great words that you have created. Where is that image from? Cheers
cchaplin
The image comes from Kilpec in England. It's a Sheela Na Gigd (hence the title)

Glad you like it.

very nice piece. like the landscape, the feel. clean production and tasty mix of plenty. the snare is maybe a bit too busy for this kind of song in my opinion, but maybe that's what you wanted... cheers
