Song337_Defender

Today's song begins a new album, Week49_Undercover. This album will be upbeat, rough/edgy, slightly dark (in a fun way), and guitar-heavy.

I started this song by layering a few drum rhythms (120bpm), and then I recorded the main electric guitar. Bass guitar was next...followed by another electric guitar and 2 synths. To me, this song deals with self-absorption, arrogance, and the inner voices that we do our best to ignore.

LYRICS: "The subtle winds that blow, sending us off course. A gentle hand can still strike with deadly force. Candor is a condor. Constantly. Defender. Fight! Your unsaved soul will follow you all the way to Hell, where the sign over the door says, "Welcome and farewell." Candor is a condor. Constantly. Defender. Fight! Just in time we pull up to the station for some fuel and milk. Energy for car and man. Strength for each's inner-self. Onward down the road we go, chasing dreams of pride and wealth. Potholes in the superhighways. Detours fixed to every route. Your one and only is defender of the one and only human race."
