The Trembling Chaser w/ Storkaas


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
This is my second collaboration with Rune Storkaas - and it couldn't be more different than that first, which was an ambient Jazz track with cello. After hearing Rune's original track, Trembled Chaser (http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=104161), I had immediate vocal ideas and approached him about singing on it. Being the sort of person he is, he was very supportive and encouraging. This is just a terrific, driving piece of music that took me back to the days when I played in darkwave bands. To be honest, I am somewhat of a shy vocalist - but Rune's track immediately put me in my element - and I felt better about this vocal than any I have done in a long time. I really hope you find it enjoyable....

The Trembling Chaser (Lyrics by Luna Trick)

With her eyes full of midnight
And a mouthful of moon
She's gonna kiss me with frost-bite
She's gonna cancel me soon
With Icicle starlight
And a murderous tune
I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

With the smile of an empress
And the laugh of a fool
I'm under the spell of this temptress
I'm in the shadow of cruel
With only tears left to express
And the pain of the rule
I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

With the fall of the angels
In the fixing of fires
All the blood in me rages
At what goodness requires
All the sayers and sages
All their wisdom expires
I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

Such reversal of fortune
And the switching of roles
Where once we were certain
Now our minds full of holes
And there's no point in waiting
For what our vanity Stole
I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

For I loved you in darkness
Now you're grey like a cloud
And now here's a starkness
As my faith turns to doubt
I got nothing but blankness
Like a plain white death shroud
I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

And now your eyes speak of sunlight
And your mouth is the sky
Your kisses bear no spite
And I'm wondering why
As if black became white
And all logic defy
I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

This is the magic of charmers
This is the light of old souls
You couldn't be calmer
While breaking my bones
You move like a sea sprite
Across the ether of dawn
And I've been chasing you all night
Since before I was born

I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling
Trembling
Trembling

I feel the breath of the chaser
Trembling

I agree - your voice is stepping out here
sounds really good and well matched to the music. Honestly - I've always been impressed with your singing. The collaboration here is really strong - excellent driving track and cool production and mix. What is it that you like here over previous efforts?

Very nice
You're entering a new era of inspiration, Daniel.

Strength is another card which belongs in this spread, your voice has it in buckets. Excellent track behind it too with just the right balance of simplicity and directness.

Excellent
production. Your voice fits very nicely. You have a combination of different voices, I hear a little bit of Bowie.

Very nice!

You
YOu should feel good about this vocal - strong and dark and expressive - very cool. I love the music - great sound and lovely atmospheric vibe. The lyrics are really nicely done - great imagery, and some outstanding lines ("You couldn't be calmer/While breaking my bones" - excellent). Man, you have quite the range, a sign of a truly creative soul. Nicely done. Kudos. Peace.

Luna, great additions here. The music is uber trippy and your vocal is outstanding. Like you were on a collision course with this track. Stirrings of Gabriel. Outstanding

Your
voice is stellar on this one, Daniel.It again has a feel of the 80s and that deliciously dark tone your last songs.

"This is the magic of charmers
This is the light of old souls
You couldn't be calmer
While breaking my bones
You move like a sea sprite
Across the ether of dawn
And I've been chasing you all night
Since before I was born"

Really inspired lines.

buzzing
That buzzing at the beginning freaks me out. Which is not to say I do or don't like it. It reminds me of weirdness, whatever that means.

Moving on, cool vocals, it is impressive that you were able to add these on top of an existing track, they match up very well. The doubling (slight harmony) in the middle is cool also, nice change. Those little touches can really help a track move along and keep energy.

This is about a man-eater
isn't it? Great vocal and I kept thinking about The Prisoner or Secret Agent Man.
It sounds like it could have backed a TV show like that, in the 60's. You sound wonderful. Loved the music. Thanks.
