Week 9 - Size of the Sea

Here is the fifth installment in the saga of my efforts to document every single emotion swimming around inside me regarding a certain subject who shall remain, now and forever, nameless.

Production notes: drums on this one! Looped drums from Logic, but drums none the less. They don't sound half bad.  Bass, oddly enough, is my acoustic guitar with tons of wacked out EQ on it.

I'd also like to give special thanks to a Mr. Christopher Plummer, for providing alarmingly insightful feedback on the mix (this week and the week prior). I spent my entire Sunday working on this - approximately 11 hours straight - and was subsequently quite delirious by the time I was ready to cut and print (or bounce and rip as it were). Can't tell you how invaluable a trusted pair of 3rd party ears is in that situation.

This one's kinda epic.  It's like my Freebird.  I hope that doesn't scare you.

lyrics
take what you want
just don't try to take it from me
you got the heart
why would u come back for the sleeve?

all the pain should've told you
all the air couldn't hold you
in a room the size of the sea

you were found
till you heard it coming down
don't look now
but i think it's coming down
fill a room the size of the sea

you broke apart
and you're holding it all at the seems
wish you could start
wish you had enough left for me

all your chances are over
and all the ways that you know her
fill a room the size of the sea

you were found....

haha your Freebird, your comments are always cracking me up, great song! agree the mix sounds really good on that one, so yeah overall excellent job, but i think i would experiment what it could sound like to use the part "all the pain should've told you ... etc" those 3 lines as a chorus instead of a prechorus... its just my personal opinion, i think it has a better melody than your actual chorus and is easier to remember, plus it has your most important phrase "the size of the sea" in it.. but overall liked it a lot!
