The Archer
Liner Notes
@ambroise (music)
Loved the epic medieval thing, which I never tried. Also, I liked how emotional we get with the character. These words were meant for metal, but I tried to achieve some sort of dirty raw traditional music instead.
I used the baglama for a treble melodic line because it sounds very medieval to my ears even if the instrument was invented in the early 20th century.

Thanks for adding music to my lyrics, @ambroise. I see where your musical journey is heading. Your baglama really has some medieval vibe. Never heard that instrument before, but it's cool!
Lyrics
Under a black masquerade
and a leather breastplate
I don't feel like human any more
I lost the man I was before
Bending the arc
I am a dancer in the dark
Arrows shattering larks
I listen to the fire spark
Fear cuts deeper than swords, they say
Hurting deeper than any paper stain
I'm afraid – My arms don't obey
Disobedience, inconvenience
I won't hurt you any more
Or desert things I adore

I really like your voice @ambroise and while part of me wants to hear it higher in the mix, having to “lean in” to hear is a really cool effect…. Great work team.

Very creative take with the instrumentation, very evocative, matching the strong visuals of the lyrics.
