Lyrics

I could walk alone
in a haze
dazed because the light don't shine
like it used to
sometimes something new
releases something used
inside the heart you search for truth
something is going down and down
you see it in every smile
a frown turned upside down
I could walk alone dazed because the light don't shine like it used to do
something new releases something used
inside the heart
inside the mind
its so easy to let it all go
its so easy to say you didn't know
you tell a fact you hide a lie
emotions heavy
but still you lie you play a game
inside the mind is were you aim
inside the heart is where you maime
I could walk alone in a haze
dazed because the light don't shine like it used to
sometimes something new
releases something used
inside the heart you search for truth
something going down
you see it in every smile
a frown turned upside down
I could walk alone dazed because
the light don't shine
like it used to do
something new releases something used
inside the heart
inside the mind

	Just ducky! I've missed hearing your unique style. Love the rhythm track that backs this. The lyrics contain a subtle message/commentary. Clever way to express it. Ha cha cha, indeed! Check out my latest song called Caprice

Who you becoming?
Great outing here, your production is getting so much better. The hard work you are doing is paying off. The break on this one works effectively and propels the lyric. That's a difficult thing to do.
Allow a suggestion? Pull up your master vocal track. Isolate that track and play it back. You will hear the "sss" type sounds need to be controlled. This has a fancy name- sibilance. There are plug-ins that can help. Another thing to do is find these "sss" sounds on the track and use automation to reduce the volume of just the harsh "sss" until they sound easier, about a 3-7 db reduction will normally do the job. It might help to listen to some of the gals vocals on MJ. Generally, ladies pronounce their "sss" sounds in a manner that reduces sibilance. You can copy their technique, actually it probably come naturally to them. Used to say, "She has a sweet voice," the reduction of the harsh "sss" is one reason...
Great to hear this track from you Tim.

	Thanks Daugrin I don't have the best mic I use an old yamaha mixer which gives me a buzz , I think the sss might be from that or the old chords I use also I broke my mic screen so I don't use it anymore I know that that would help but yes you are right and thanks for the advice Check out my latest song called No more demands

	Lost I haven't heard you in a long time and wow, you've really developed some production skills! Good to hear your vocals pushed forward a bit more than I recall. Your percussion parts are always shining in your work and this track is proof. Pretty sophisticated stuff, my friend. Enjoyed this and d/l'ed! Check out my latest song called Draw

	Something used Really creative arrangement, Tim. So well produced. Great to hear you swim just a touch closer to the mainstream on this one, too. There are plenty of (not so) innocent bystanders "ducking" for cover these days... Like this a lot. Thanks. Check out my latest song called The Parting Of The Ways

Scoop
Ok, cool track.

I had to import this one and look at the spectrum.

You regularly have tons of energy that trails below 50Hz. That serves no purpose.

Also, even with aging ears and slight tinnitus I can hear that you have some nasty highs. Again: up to 20kHz at pretty high levels, and definite spikes at 10kHz.

Not my idea of a frequency spectrum. If you have very good ears (and heap expensive monitors) and you tell me that this is precisely what you want, then I'll accept it, but let my protest be noted.

Thanks Vic
This is why I love MJ you are right , first I have terrible monitors they are bass heavy and don't represent an accurate sound, second I think I mixed this on headphones which btw are cheap and crappy , I have always struggled with mixing., When I listen to my older songs I cringe because I hear how bad they are I appreciate the time you took to find the problem I will watch my highs :)

	Hi and Lo Daugrin suggested that your highs problem comes from sibilance. That is quite possible. But I suspect that you're also over enthousiastic on your EQ. About those lows: I once remixed a track for another MJer, and by only cutting (a shitload!) I made the bass more punchy and the whole mix much more transparent. Watch those lows!
