"A quick original song from me, on the Novation Circuit again. Excuse the state of my workspace, and please do like and subscribe if you'd like to see more. Lyrics and explanation of my weird recording method under here...

Break under the waves that call your name
Shake under the weight of all you made
Even though it’s hard to forget
All of the shadows that descend
Take all of the fears you had away

Wake up from the sleep that bears the cost
Ache deep in your heart for all you lost
As the morning comes to find you
And as the night is at an end
Make all your amends and seize the day

CHORUS
Pull back from the tide that drew you in
Face into the sun that warmed your skin
Sing out for the ones who caused you pain
Rise up and be happy once again
Look out from the shore to see the sky
Let go of the past and question why
Sing out for the ones who caused you pain
Rise up and be happy once again

Break under the waves that call your name
Shake under the weight of all you made
Even though it’s hard to forget
All of the shadows that descend
Take all of the fears you had away

CHORUS
Pull back from the tide that drew you in
Face into the sun that warmed your skin
Sing out for the ones who caused you pain
Rise up and be happy once again
Look out from the shore to see the sky
Let go of the past and question why
Sing out for the ones who caused you pain
Rise up and be happy once again

My 8-bit EP, Home, is out on WIAIWYA now: https://wiaiwya.bandcamp.com/album/ho...

Someone asked how I recorded this - this is how:
USB cardioid mic into Ableton, track muted; circuit into iRig Pro into Ableton, track soloed but very low volume so I can *just* hear it enough to sing with but there's not much bleed into the mic and I can mix them separately. I'm mostly using visual feedback from the Circuit to sing to. I hate performing with headphones enough that I'd rather do it like this even though I know it's a stupid setup."
