Polar Eyes

by @danxduran

Liner Notes

I've had the basics of this melody floating around for years. Spent a good amount of time this February programming in the arrangement (yes, including the guitars!), only to end up recording perhaps the worst vocal of the entire month. My mouth feels like sandpaper for some reason, so it was impossible. Then I forgot to do the harmony and just thought whatever, I'll melodyne it into place...

So excuse the poor excuse for a vocal, just a demo etc. The rest of the sounds decent.

Drums: Kontakt Just Add Drums
Bass: Kontakt Prime Bass
Guitars: Kontakt Electric Sunburst
Synths: UAD FM8, Waterfall (organ)

Lyrics

polar eyes, i won't explain myself to you
polary eyes, it's like they're stuck with superglue
it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed

polar eyes, you never wanted me to tell the truth
polar eyes, it's like they're stuck with superglue, yeah
it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed

it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed

you listen to both sides, and you don't know why
you listen to both sides, one just gets you high

polar eyes, i won't explain myself to you
polary eyes, it's like they're stuck with superglue
it's your way or the highway, god we're screwed

you listen to both sides, and you don't know why
you listen to both sides, one just gets you high

Love those organs! Your vocals are far from lamentable, by the way. Love the tongue-in-cheek lyrics that you're a pro at: "It's your way or the highway. God, we're screwed" is very funny. Excellent arrangement!

Great rhythm and production. Love the swirling organ and the portamento synth. (I think we share similar tastes...) And your vocals are just fine! Best of all is the double-entendre of "polarize" - eyes stuck with superglue...you listen to both sides, one just gets you high. Nice commentary on today's chasm.
