Without You
Liner Notes
@mdavisto says: A collab with @kristian! yes it is true. We did a production swapsy at the beginning of FAWM: each of us would work up a song for the other. I cringed in front of the mic for a while (https://write.fawm.org/songs/308609), and he sneakily used an AI tool for his vox. YES IM JUDGING no I'm not, I don't care.
This being the last day of FAWM, it was time to give it the beans. I am afraid I did zero justice to the verses, I'm sorry @kristian, but I'm hoping the drop makes up for it, a little.
I got sucked into Vital, you see, it's a rabbit hole.
Now I'm going to go sleep. Thank you all and good night. See you in MALM, I have a lot of listening to do.

@kristian says: Well, he'll edit his comments in later, but in the meantime, look at me, I'm @kristian, wooooooooooooo I like to eat cheese and wear silly hats.
Lyrics
Everything is better without you
Your relentless attacks Dug deep in my soul Your goal My toll
Everything is better without you

I like the idea of the vocal loop and the big big bass. Quite trippy

I could listen to "Without You" sung a thousand more times. Gorgeous. And clever how you give it different meaning by adding the "Everything is better" line all around it. Yes, the track is killer. Depth. I feel this one.

This is awesome. Loving everything about it.

Ah vital, I forgot I have this synth and didn't utilise it at all this FAWM, because I have no idea how to use it! Will add that to the list of things to try next year! Loving the distorted (bitcrushed?) sawtooth stereo doubled bass, super effective. And that long tail on the vocals, so lush. Certainly room to build further on this one, it feels like you guys just got things cooking. What a tease!

No, really, what are you trying to say?

I love that piano part. Very Trent Reznor. That fuzzy bass is cool. I like how it morphs. This feels like a cool transition piece that would go on an album to break up the flow.

Love it! Dang, this is fantastic! So dark and moody (if this was used in a scene, I would expect to find a body at some point...) Love how you build it. Vocals are beautiful! Haunting.

I love vital. Is such a cool synth. Though my go to lately has been FORM in Reaktor 6. Great collab

Diss track! Nice and moody and finger pointing! I sure wouldn’t want to be the person this was written towards 😆

AI will soon be headbanging to this song in their own virtual discotheque and kissing us sweet goodbyes... until then, let us enjoy this momentmomentmomentmoment
