dimm witness song produced by VicDiesel for producer's challenge :-)
Eddie: Victor pushed me past my limits on this. I hit several walls. a big problem -- started on Adobe Audition Beta, moved to GarageBand and ended up in Logic Express. 2 months 3 different DAWs and Victor trying to get me to play something other than eighth note Es. lol. I'm scared to ever play an E again. the song came out far different than I ever would have expected, from the minimalist approach I envisioned at first to a full blown production. I'm crazy and I was afraid Vic had lost his mind! but each time I listen I like the mix more. for a song with no chorus there is a lot of variety now! like Roy Thomas Baker Victor pushes everything to the max and compresses, and each part can be heard clearly. this is the best dimm witness has ever sounded, and I am very proud to have Victor take me to new levels :-) I learned more in 2 months than the past 8 years of digital recording, and I will be a lifetime just trying to reach the level Victor is at now ;-) enjoy.
Victor: Eddie is very gracious about my skills, but the fact is that I was making it up as we went along. Eddie's song is not of a genre that I normally listen to, let alone that I myself practice. However, I have a general philosophy about arranging, which is mostly concerned with keeping parts independent, and the original arrangement had too much duplication. To my taste. So I gently dragged him kicking and screaming to my point of view. After some back and forth, I had a number of great tracks to work with. Initially I was letting my job be limited to selectively muting tracks (and shifting a rhythm guitar by half a beat), but at the last moment I decided to add some keyboards.

Lyrics
please give me the death penalty don't you know i deserve to die
for committing a crime of deviltry where i took two innocent lives
i killed my wife and my son while in a drunken rage
the devil he was havin his fun while i prepared their graves
don't tell me that i'm innocent just because i went insane
there's no excuse for what i did i'm the only one's to blame
so here i sit in this my cell wishing i could die
battling with the forces of hell that torment me day and night
so please give me the death penalty so that i can just go away
away from a world that cannot see that the world made me this way
don't tell me that i'm innocent just because i went insane
there's no excuse for what i did i'm the only one's to blame
for committing a crime of deviltry where i took two innocent lives
i killed my wife and my son while in a drunken rage
the devil he was havin his fun while i prepared their graves
don't tell me that i'm innocent just because i went insane
there's no excuse for what i did i'm the only one's to blame
so here i sit in this my cell wishing i could die
battling with the forces of hell that torment me day and night
so please give me the death penalty so that i can just go away
away from a world that cannot see that the world made me this way
don't tell me that i'm innocent just because i went insane
there's no excuse for what i did i'm the only one's to blame

not in my wildest dreams would think a song would be made with this content and be so full on rambunctious about it. That is something that grabs you by the neck and shakes the living daylights out of you. Tremendous effort guys. Sentence is guilty of being entertaining, awesomely so. Thanks.
