Blue Eyes in the Rain

Skirmish: Blue Eyes in the Rain (@cartoonboyfriend)Liner Notes
To tie in with my overall album theme, this story takes place in a Cyberpunk city scene. A lone cyborg longing to express love meets a beautiful woman who reminds him of his analog heart hidden in the depths of his binary code. #blueeyesintherain #skirmish #electronic #trance #techno
Lyrics
The world has mechanized me Unable to bear humanity Exploited by lovers before Becoming a machine to hurt no more
I tried to function without emotion But the void in my Soul grew stronger Deviating from my dream As the anguish inside sustained even longer
In the busy city, under the bright light There you stood, an angel in the night Bright as the rising sun Fantasizing of you being the One
I stared into your beautiful brown eyes Gazing upon true purity In the moment of Chaos You became my clarity
The world fades to black Only you remain before me You touch my mechanical shell Releasing me from solitary hell
Chorus:
You saw my agonizing pain Through my blue eyes in the rain You kissed away my misery Close to you, you held me
Chorus

Wow, I like what you have here. The only suggestion I would do is increase the vocal volume a little to make it more understandable but over all I like it. Well done.

OK wow, I need to listen to some more of your stuff here because I love concept albums (I did a rock opera here a few years ago) and this just sounds so cool. I love the sounds you're getting here, that ARP thing and your effected robot vocals...and I like that breakdown on the world fades to black part. So wait, you did all this on a skirmish?!?! Shit, you're ruining the curve for all of us :)

This is so cool I love the idea of a cyborg trying to connect with his analog heart. I love this theme that resonates with an increasingly automated society. This is such a potent line: 'you touch my mechanical shell / releasing me from my solitary hell'

This is such a tender moving addition to the cyberpunk theme. Powerful and poignant. The bridge pulls it all together so beautifully. Wonderful take on the prompt.

First off, I dig the captilization of Chaos. Like it's an entity just as "You" is. Look forward to the music! Thanks for doing this one!

Wow, this is powerful from the first line! "The world has mechanized me" can stand alone as an incredibly poignant and relatable sentiment, and then you follow it with a whole song. Gorgeous storytelling about finding softness in a hard world. Love it.

I'm with @cbmagic. The vocal need to come up in the mix. Without the lyrics I'd have been lost. There is a Vangelis / Blade Runner feel to this. Great SF atmosphere.
