Today, the December the twenty-fifth, I, Isaac the Bradley Middleton, otherwise known as Somebody, Somewhere, have completed an entire song in one day. It's a layered song, the first one that I've actually used electric guitar on-- which I think sounds quite sexy.
This song represents the style that I'm striving for-- beautiful, yet somewhat hardcore, electronica, yet folky in some places. There's a name that I've come up with: Folktronica. Like it? Witty, I know.
Darn you, Google.
I just googled Folktronica to see if I was indeed original with my lingo. I wasn't. Apparently there's already some folktronica bands out there that i haven't heard of. I wonder if we sound alike.
Hmm.. anyways, the song is called To: Child. Love, GOd.
I couldn't find a way to make the punctuation look less confusing, but i think it gets the point across.
Pretty much the song is a Love letter from God (Terribly original, I know). The words just sort of came out. It was very challenging for me to write this and record this, because I had to really deal head on with the question of if I really believe that God truly loves me, despite me.
My conclusion is: i think he does.
Anyway, what else... Oh! here's the words.
Follow, follow Me
I am all you need
I offer Love so deep
And it comes for free
I love you so much
that I sent my only son
to live perfectly, then die
that you might have eternal life
My child, I love you
I've made you free
My child, I love you
Come follow Me.
My child, I fixed you.
I've made you clean.
My child, I fixed you.
Come worship me.
I offer love so deep.
And it's your's for free.
This is a life you find on your knees.
All you need to do now is believe Me.
My child, I love you.
I've made you free.
My child, I love you.
Come follow me.
My child, I fixed you.
I've made you clean
My child, I fixed you.
Come worship me.
And so on...
Really, it's just a call to look at God and his love and instill a desire to follow after God, through the use of John 3:16 and good ol' first-hand experience.
I'm very excited about this song.
Oh, and the vocals are smothered in auto-tune. I don't care about those synical many who despise this nifty little device. I love the sound. It's very unique and pure. My philosophy is: as long as it's completely obvious that the vocals are auto-tuned, then have at it. It's just the despicable few who use it and don't admit to it that I find snivelly and unmusical.
