Video Post: Days (Original Song)
New Song or Video, All Posts
For YouTubers this song will be a departure from most of the songs I've posted so far (as most have been piano solos). I've been playing around with this song since September of 2007 and finally finished it up now.
The song was recorded in multiple tracks using
Sonar. Tracks include: 2 drum, 1 bass, 2 accoustic guitar, 1 electric guitar, 1 piano, 3 vocals, 2 pads and 2 bells. The vocals and guitars we recorded through mics and everything else is digital (from the XV-88, S90-ES or Ivory VST).
As always, I'm experimenting with the video. I used two cameras and three studio lights (taken from my photography equipment) to create the effect of focused light in a dark environment. There are lots of shadows which is the intended effect.
I did the final video mix/edit in
Sony Vegas where I used softening and desaturation filters to finish the look.
days
how they turn
how we burn
as we run to the night
days
just for a while
to see your smile
as you turn in the light
days they say
fade away
falling down like rain
until they're through
what will we do
with all
all these days
time
flowing down
the river drowns
the moments that pass
please
hold to me
i'll hold to you
and we'll make it last
days they say
fade away
falling down like rain
until they're through
what will i do
for you
with all these days
