Polar Eyes
by @danxduran
Liner Notes
I've had the basics of this melody floating around for years. Spent a good amount of time this February programming in the arrangement (yes, including the guitars!), only to end up recording perhaps the worst vocal of the entire month. My mouth feels like sandpaper for some reason, so it was impossible. Then I forgot to do the harmony and just thought whatever, I'll melodyne it into place...
So excuse the poor excuse for a vocal, just a demo etc. The rest of the sounds decent.
Drums: Kontakt Just Add Drums Bass: Kontakt Prime Bass Guitars: Kontakt Electric Sunburst Synths: UAD FM8, Waterfall (organ)
Lyrics
polar eyes, i won't explain myself to you polary eyes, it's like they're stuck with superglue it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed
polar eyes, you never wanted me to tell the truth polar eyes, it's like they're stuck with superglue, yeah it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed
it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed
you listen to both sides, and you don't know why you listen to both sides, one just gets you high
polar eyes, i won't explain myself to you polary eyes, it's like they're stuck with superglue it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed
you listen to both sides, and you don't know why you listen to both sides, one just gets you high

Love those organs! Your vocals are far from lamentable, by the way. Love the tongue-in-cheek lyrics that you're a pro at: "It's your way or the highway. God, we're screwed" is very funny. Excellent arrangement!

Great rhythm and production. Love the swirling organ and the portamento synth. (I think we share similar tastes...) And your vocals are just fine! Best of all is the double-entendre of "polarize" - eyes stuck with superglue...you listen to both sides, one just gets you high. Nice commentary on today's chasm.

Love the play on words with “Polar Eyes”. The organ and synth are unexpected, but not unloved! And the robotic voice is so fun! Great work!
