Feb 2022 alternative
I seem to have started a few repetitive songs which had a hopefully hypnotic vibe and then screeching vocal melodies on top. I had many melodies lines for this which escaped me when recording time came. This is essentially 2 vocal passes, the main is centre and the backing is split left and right some warm up waaaahs added as filler at the end. No vocal pitching, left as sung, some Reason preset mixer reverb and echo. I really should add a mid 8 change for variety, but that was not in the songs original remit.. Hopefully can retain interest as it is. Well I like it as an album theme, This would be end of a more mellow side 2. Side 1 will be more vibrant and poppyish hopefully.
Taste
Music and Lyrics by Mark Scullion 2022
From nothing,
You scratched and bit and clawed your way, scrapping every day.
Taking something, from everything, you took your path, right or wrong.
Does the end justify the means?
Looking down,
You twisted,purged, cleansed your past, wiping out misdeeds
Taking something, from nothing, you took your path, righting wrongs.
The end justifies the means.
The questions seem to disappear
All that's left applause and cheers
Your popularity ratings clear
All the world admires your,
Exquisite taste, in glossy magazines, your
Exquisite taste, in searches, that include your name. You've got
Exquisite taste, for all to see, in glossy magazines,

I like the pulsating synth underneath the rhythmic piano and drumbeat. The vocals are great. I like how the vocal doubles up in the second verse, and the harmonies build halfway through the song.
This feels like a psychedelic mantra.
