Description
Vocal adds to Ridd's Skydiving track (http://www.macjams.com/song/51930). Thanks Ridd - no doubt you do this much better - but here is my take.

This our second song together about flying (or in this case falling) and the lyrics here are quite strange - where a man hesitates before pulling the ripcord and meditates on the consequences to his lover. I tried to make it so you can't quite tell who's words are whose - as if they're both falling in a sense.

Skydiving (From the Blue): Music by Ridd Sorensen: Lyrics by Luna Trick

Sky blue fear like an elixir
Slicing like an arrow through the wind
World is like a pixelated picture
Falling through a moment with no end

Fingers in the ring of my salvation
A meteor of flesh toward the green
Suspended breath in bold anticipation
A tug just to justify the means

And if my parachute should fail to open
I'll toast your fate and drink the airless sky
The impact of your eyes my destination
The looming earth has always been a lie

I can see the car park where you're waiting
Does your upward gaze catch my descent
Are there any thoughts your entertaining
Are you numb with prayers already spent

Fingers in the ring of my salvation
Pulling out of fear for something true
Ripcord rips through our hesitation
You're looking for a bolt from the blue
From the blue
From the blue

Excellent vocals, and the opening guitar lead is perfect. Your mix is so clean I can not find anything bad wrong about this. The vocals are spot on the lyrics are poetic and interesting. I love the lead in the middle, perfect again. Very catchy tune. Awesome. Downloaded. and Faved. Thanks for sharing it.

I
totally agree with Char.
Your voice conveys the hesitation of the protagonist perfectly.
The instrumentation also adds to the controlled tension and then we have a great tune.

I love the calm reserve of the lines coming
as your hurtling towards earth with time suspended the way I always imagine it would be. Excellent lyrics and vocals Daniel - perfectly suited to Ridd's very fine arrangement.

Very well done, Daniel.
I'm sure it helps to choose a good song to work with, but it doesn't seem to matter to you: you always seem to rise (or fall, in this case) to the occasion. Great job!

What they....
...said... Added: a certain, pulsing restraint to the orchestration. It just chugs along without letting up, just like your protagonists falling to the ground at a fairly precise speed. My only thought (and it is not particularly critical, rather a personal taste) is that the orchestration sounds a little muffled behind it all-- not quite a sharp or crisp as I'd hoped it would be. I can also hear some fx behind the whole that might indicate the descent.. Just a couple of thoughts.) (Sorry I am so late getting to this. I am catching up on several weeks worth of posts... My studio has been "down" for some upgrading and repairs.)
Peace.
