featuring caroline jesalva on violin!
---
standing eye to eye
with faces from my past,
i lift them off their hooks
knowing they're more than masks.
-
it seems obvious,
but difficult to do;
every mask you make
must be a part of you.
-
as i grew up
with her masks hanging everywhere,
they seemed to stare at me.
i barely minded them at all,
i never really noticed.
-
and when
i'm gone
they'll be right here,
watching my memories,
keeping them safe.
-
now that
i've gone
to see something new,
they'll be with me,
and so will she
(and so will she)
-
let's stop for a while.
can't you see? (can't you see)
it's my artistic style,
i'm not just lazy.
-
my mother,
the maskmaker.
remember
what you heard.

(thanks to heissen and my roommate coolyjojo for the mixing help)
i attempted to remix this masterpiece when it came out. learned a lot from your draft
This is some top notch stuff, damn. It's honestly remarkable what you get out of a few ideas "I want to work with some weird theory stuff" can lead to some powerful expression. The effort was worth it here. This is lemon demon helping me process childhood trauma or some shit. Also tight drums @ like that's some tight groove!!
okay looking abck at this this is kinda just okay jacob collier worship and basically putting theory and stuf over actual songcraft no offense tho, i can tell you put your soul in this! :3 <3
Damn it's already been over half a year? That's nuts. Good stuff dude, I can't stop coming back to this and listening to it on spotify lol.
this is one of the first audiotool tracks that almost made me cry that first half holy shit. the 2nd is so soothing. ofc the drums are also perfect. your brain is so big my brain cant handle its greatness.
dig the album version here! https://open.spotify.com/track/6ZDd1ZAcTYmy6DfLPP8vll?si=A2Pe6kLSQmiOSG9dZb98cw
Vocal harmonies are nailing me again man. Whole thing is so fucking sublime
I'm felling it man.
This is pretty awesome.
geez nico wtf
jamming out on guitar with the last section mmmm
this is giving me such a specific feeling, like going through the middle of the mall, walking right pass the perfume area, where theres a lot of people handing out a lot of perfume... idk why but this song sounds like the smell of a lot of forced perfume
