Bathsalt Jesus
Words & Music by Daren Thomas Turner © 2013 MRI
Closer is the last wave and far away from here
Halloween costumed and dead tsunamical
A twilight of your idols; a midnight of your sun
Insufferable as the company of one
 
Seriously are you kidding me? 
Starring in your own no one show
Instagrammed like a jellyfish hash-tagged with #noSpine
 
Colder than a dark star and frozen into space
All your motivation an accoutrement at best
Bedizen me with Snooki like lobster in a sauce
Alive when you kill it off the planet earth
 
At minute number seventeen
I stopped my own cold heart
I closed my eyes and walked out of the summertime
 
Over, like these movie credits shot out into space
All the extras' names are written on your face
All the characters you always got to play 
Perished deus ex machina {botox hurricane} 
 
I was born to die just to save the human race
I was born to die just so you could eat my face

The Ride Cym could use some filtering and the Kick could come up just a bit... Love the harmony arrangement... Lead Vox should be a little more out front, but I know you like it like that, and you're the Chef... I like the Soup... serve it up...

I like the 5/4-measure a lot, I myself am tring to write a 6/4-measure currently...it is tough to write it so it flows and not sounds "mathematically" or artificial. Well done! Cool song. The vocals are very good, a lot of effects and doubling going on, right? I agree with Tanton that the kick could be louder, the vocals are great as they are to me!

Great atmosphere. It sounds transparent on my system.
First thing I've noticed: the kick needs more punch. (That was before I've read the replies of Notnat and Speedtom) 
Fantastic snaresound!
And of course compliments on the songwriting!
 
 
 

Hi Daren, I'm usually not a fan of loud music, but this has a very nice groove to it. Also, who doesn't like a tune in DADGAD ? ; )   As Frank has already noticed, the cymbal sticks out a bit. I don't have good speakers , but to me the bass was a bit to loud.

wow just reading these ! thanks a ton Tanton, Tom, NN, Rikke as I had to rest my ears for a few days as ear fatigue was setting in after the very first rough mix down since there are tons of tracks here - I ooops too and uploaded wrong file as this one is missing the Satan's choir coda vocals 9 part harmony crescendo (after guitar solo ) but that's cool you'll hear it later I wanted to refocuses on key mix points - indeed the cymbals/ ride to brash and kick needs more umph punch and beater attack/presence esp since the 5/4 beat George is playing basically makes the song what it is rhythmwise --

k again thanks a lot / helps tons / were excited about this one as its gonna be first song on three song extended EP that MRI will have out by fall.

I think the cowbell at end needs more presence too as it sets up coda/ending

Very cool and yes Rikke we need to start a DADGAD club!!! ;0

awesome feedback / muchas gracias

lol on mobile ^ forgive spelling ;0

It sounds spot on to me.  I had some streaming issues with that site, but it's probably the last mile here.

This is really cool. I like the riff and it flows really nice. I can't add anymore suggestions. Well done!
 
@Speedtom, If you try and make something fit into a time signature it will sound that way. the best way is to come up with the riff and see what time signature it's in. I came up with an into to one of my songs and low and behold, the time signature for it was 11/8. The change from that to 4/4 was seamless as well. Go for feel and worry about time later.

No idea what the hell it's about, but it sounds very cool. Nothing to add re mix other than it's translating pretty well on lappy speakers.
