Description
Been struggling with this one for 2 weeks and this demo is the farther I can get at the momment.
Will make lots of changes when I touch this again ...sometime...



The lyrics should tell about a man who´s
condemned to execution and for reasons we
don´t know he will be spared if it rains
on the morning of his assassination

But as the song progresses he realizes he´s been poisoned
while sleeping and the spoken vocals on the 2nd half is
his hallunciations due to the drug/poison, which will
kill him slowly, right after the song ends.

I tried to sing it as if I was praying, because the character is praying for the rain.I don´t
think I suceeded on that.nonethlessI don´t want to sing it louder.

Lyrics
Now
Skyline´s
Clear

My
heart
shuns
fear

Daylight
Draws
Near

Close
my eyes
and kneel

Here

For the rain



(spoken)

The stars tremble and change colours and shapes.
Blood paradise squirming cold scars.
Bathed by moonlight liquid turns pink.
Faces and bodies of accusers rise from mud.
Screams brown with vapour dust.
Shades opposite contrast boiling canvas.
Somewhere.Sometime.
Somewhere.Sometime.
Falling trees.
Echoing screams from the trembling stars.

Hardly seems
fair, to be poisoned the night before you're executed. Death by accordion foretold? Disturbing and fascinating. Thanks.

interesting
Like the concept, instrumentation.
The part where "rain" is incanted over and over is pretty neat, kind of scary.
switch to second section is cool.
I really enjoyed this!

dark
and interesting work here. Thanks for the story line as it enhances the listen quiet a bit and lets the lower vocals work in the spine tingling way they should. Very cool push past the boundaries my friend!

anguish
there is desperation in a voice. knowledge of the end. a body convulses in dark colours. the music colours an empty ending to a story. it is effective. it creates anguish. it is time to read a happy story now. 0x0

very ambitous
I'm anxious to see how this one evolves. I would put this in a category with some of Jimi Hendrix's experimental compositions. Very anti-establishment.

Well
At the very least you have a really interesting and weird concept for the song. The lyrics are good. The best I've seen on this site so far! My advice (for the beginning part) is that you should sing louder or don't sing, but just whisper at the beginning, because it sounds more like you're trying to be scary than you're praying. Also, the beat does not go well with the song and it seems painfully out of place, and these certain piano and clavinova things seem really garagebandy and random. But overall it's pretty cool. Keep up the good work.

Well
Coming from a choir singer, I will really consider your comments about the vocals, although I think I will not be able to sing it better...
I agree about the piano, some Roland EG101´s sounds are really awful and even worse, I just inserted the piano there, It belongs to a failed song.
But I think the drums are OK I can´t see it out of place (you mean rhytmically?) and it´s not a clavinet sample but a vibraphone.Again I have to rely on my synth´s soundbank.But in taht particular case I think it sounds OK.
Thank you for your constructive comments, I will surely keep them in mind when I work at the definitive version.

Hey, when I said that the drums were out of place, I meant that they have this sort of rhumba or similar sound that doesn't feel (to me) to go well with the song. Rhythmically they work just fine, but I think a more drum instead of shaker sound would benefit it.

By the way
Thank you very much to everyone who listened and commented!

Foreboding sounds...
As I'm listening to this it's raining outside, so I guess I'll live to listen another day! lol

WTF!?! It's the accordion from hell!

A spooky sonic montage Carlos! But oddly compelling...

Be well friend!

Sounds familiar
I like what you did here. My favorite part is the spoken word. I sometimes wonder are the drums real? A very cool journey through a part of life that we all must live. Excellent!
