Another wonderful collab, Scott & Ray. Some may say that the vocal should be louder, but for this song it seems to sit perfectly in the mix. It adds mystery. Man, those lyrics are excellent.
"The half life of truth.
A chain reaction of lies,
Broken promises compound
Right before your eyes."
Hypnotic bass and soaring guitar. Very creative stuff.
I started with YT just to see the video, which was cool, but the sound is better on Soundcloud.

Oh my. The Floyd is powerful in this one, as it obviously was at the beginning. It's carried through in the lyrics, the delivery, the soloing, the mixing, even the visuals.
Fantastic message in the song. The contrast between the slow decay of truth and the rapid expansion of lies is both original and chilling. Great to see that detestable [*****] AJ make his demonic appearance.
A+, gentlemen. Out of the park.

Scott & Ray
Trippy, hypnotic goodness! Cool lyrics. Nice playing. Of course the bass and the slide are the stars of the show. Slide was a great choice. Wonderful vocals, but waaay too low for my ears. Good effort on video. Excellent collab project! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hi Scott and Ray,
A very good, hallucinatory song.
I felt the same as Marty; the vocals had to be more upfront, but after a while I changed that opinion. Keep it as it is! There is one downside on that: the lyrics can't be understood.
The leadguitar was very well played here, but so did the bassguitar. I have one question on that: you wrote you used a bassguitar from BiaB and Ray played one himself. Which part is Ray playing. to my ears he was it all the time!
I enjoyed all of it, even though it isn't a style I would do myself...
Hans

I really like the song! The vocals are a bit quiet, but I assume it's a style choice? Reminds me a little of David Lynch.

Thanks Hans, the BIAB tracks mentioned are from the style. Most were replaced so that the only ones used in the song are organ and drums. The rest of the parts see Scott & myself playing. Like many songs of this style the lyrics are something to be discovered after some attempts at guessing & interpretation.
Cheers

You both should be very proud of this one. Although I would have liked the vocals to be a tad louder, I had a hard time hearing the lyrics, that didn't detract to much from the overall excellence in this song.

Scott C,
Really cool song. Kind of like a Jim Morrison melded with Pink Floyd. Such excellent guitar work! Bravo!

Yeah! I really like this one, guys.
Love the bass! Very cool hypnotic riff that really draws you in, makes the song actually IMHO.
Scott is the king of the melodic guitar, always enjoy hearing him do his thing.
Just a great mood piece, enjoyed both the music and the video.
Well done, enjoyed.

Very Pink Floydesque guys and it sounds great! I love the very "atmospheric" sound you've created! I also hear a little bit of Lennon (solo years) in this! Nice sound on your guitar Scott! It
fits the tune very well! Ray everything you've contributed here is super! I would like to hear the vocal a bit louder but that's my taste and may not be what you were going for! Thanks, Torrey

om Thank you for the awesome comments We really appreciate it. Glad you liked the song. This really reminds me of PF song...thanks for producing it Thanks for checking out the song. Rays chord structure and vocal made it easy to change Pink Floyd. Was allot of fun to try and emulate one of my guitar heros.
