Watching you

This song was posted years ago. It's my favorite solo project but I always thought it needed better mixing and mastering.
I spent several hours doing very precise editing in Cubase (not pleasant since I have severe RSI). Added compression with Ozone 7 and several other plug-ins. I experimented with all kinds of EQ settings until I come up with this result, which is a lot better than the initial version.

This song is about as a "singer-songwriter" as it gets for me. When writing it I had just one thing in mind: dynamics (and Brent has a whole lot to do with that ;-) )


Hope you like it, comments are encouraged.

Watching you

I knew you'd run
I can see you trying
you never wanted this
never really knew
never really thought it could become like this
that I could be like this, this mean

I know you will run
no matter what I try to do
no matter what I'd say
letting go so easily
there's no looking back

I listen closely to your heartbeat next to mine
as you're trying to leave the room
getting rid of this
getting rid of me
trying to leave my life

I know you were right
cause this is getting old
I'm getting old
give power to old lovers
to leave things behind

I know you will run
no matter what I try to do
no matter what I'd say
letting go so easily
there's no looking back
