Lies Lies! (w/MickD)


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
MickD is mainly an iComper that visits MacJams from time to time. We posted a guitar collab a few weeks back and received a lot of encouragement to work together again. He uploaded his song, Lies Lies, about a week and a half ago to rave responses over on IC! It is such a great track and when I heard it, I told him that I had a definite vocal idea if he was open to it.

The title was his and my idea was to write a song in which the narrator is not reliable - and his intentions can't be known. It's sort of based on the Nietszchean notion that truth and falsehood aren't necessarily polar opposites

I just want to thank MickD for allowing me to sing on this fantastic track. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Lyrics
Lies! Lies!

White Lies lining the sky above
I hear them when I'm walking alone
Little squirming things in the Soul

Lies, Lies!
Lies!

Midnight comes with human sleep
Black mountain kisses the moon
Hopes of redemption found in a dream
but you can't get blood from a stone

Lies, Lies!
Lies!

In the beginning, there's only the end
Skies meet where memories fade
Truth is the sun and we are the shade

Lies, Lies!

Thanks Feter
I like the term Art-rock - it sound so much more meaningful than "alternative"

This fits very nicely!
...and sounds like you worked together on the track from start to finish--very complementary tones in instrumental and vocal work!
Great production, too.

Kudos on a great collaboration :)

niiiice lies...
I can understand the raves... great music & mix, love the down-bends & synthy bits... (though I almost want a little richer "growl" on the bass guitar in the mix, bass sounds subdued) superb guitar work too. And Daniel, your singing voice & "accent" are great here, love the synched echo.

ttfn,
Drakonis

Blimey Daniel
Woah, this is fabulous. You know what a big David Bowie fan I am and this has a definite vibe in his direction, although not in a derivative way. The rocky music bed and super guitars are the perfect backdrop to your voice, and it sounds like it was conceived as a fully integrated song. Really enjoyed this!

It's funny Rebs...
Being a huge Bowie fan and having been accused of being too bowiesque at various junctures of my music journey, I have consciously tried to move away from it with recent songwriting. But when MickD mentioned that he'd like something bowie or Peter Gabrielish - I thought what the hell! So glad to have your approval!

Wow what a great reception
We have here! I must apologize right up front to the MacJam community that I don't spend enough time here! I could make excuses but the biggest one is time time time!

Now this track as it is now with Lunatrick is at a whole other level than just my piece alone. Luni is a fantastic guy to work with and we hope to work more together. Great vocal performance Daniel and thank you MacJammers for welcoming our collaboration!

Humbly,
MickD
