Challenge: PALINDROME

Liner Notes

#4track #indiefolk #singersongwriter

Tried getting palindrome-esque with a lot of stuff in this (structure, pre-chorus chords) but beyond the title I think this is more palindromic in spirit than anything by way of incessant improv. This one's got DI-ed acoustic guitar, Casios, and the ever-trusty Dr. Rhythm providing drums! It's also in Drop D tuning! Yeah!!

It's not really about anything... mostly imagery, but I think it's cool and stuff.

Lyrics

Viewing from the sky Shadows passing by Nothing to believe in Never odd or even

Never odd or even Nothing to believe in Shadows passing by Viewing from the sky

I don't wanna go Where bad people hurt us anymore Yet the tides will flow It all leaves my body weak and sore

I don't wanna lie I'm not feeling too great tonight Yes, the oceans rise It's hard just not to squint your eyes

Never odd or even Nothing to believe in Shadows passing by Viewing from the sky

Viewing from the sky Shadows passing by Nothing to believe in Never odd or even

hi rose! ohhh this is a good one. what is happening in the instrumental way way in the back on the right channel? vocal thing? vocal secrets?

the chorus feels super satisfying, as does the palindromic line form of the verses. thank you

That's really cool! Way to make the first two verses repeat themselves each line backwards. I clicked on this song because one of my favorite musicians BT made a song of the same name!

Cool pairing of the electric kit to your guitar! And super sick solo in the middle, compliments the song really well :)

Great job on the Palindrome challenge! The siren sounds were a fun choice. Very enjoyable song, thanks for sharing! 🐸
