Reach For the Sky
Song : WP Lyrics : Ulrik / WP Vocals : Ulrik E Standard Guitar Rig 5 Toontrack Metal Machine Toontrack Ezmix 2 QUOTE (Ulrik First thoughts) About the lyrics: The reach for the sky part, it just sounded natural in that place, and it came to me before even thinking of a theme. It was back when I just had heard a small part of the song I had some trouble deciding what to sing about, and compared to all that death and destruction that is somehow connected to metal and the kind of vocals I went for, I thought it would be a challenge to do some positive lyrics. I often think about the past, and wonder what would have happened if I had done something differently. I'm not the NO regrets person, but I guess I wish I was. QUOTE (Ulrik Final thoughts) I think it's about taking some chances where you can win big or lose big in life, and if you play it safe all the time you never really win, and you end up regretting not having tried... you will always look back on some moments and think; "what if I had done differently, taken a chance back than". It's quite forward, no metaphors just a clear message. And I admit it would be hard living with no regrets nobody does that I guess. QUOTE (WeePee) I got this this thrash themed song ready on early September and posted a thread. Also tried to contact bunch of people on the Youtube but got no luck. Then Ulrik contacted me and wanted to be a part of this collab. So messaging back and forth, tweaking lyrics, mixing, we are now proudly presenting this song. Hope you guys enjoy. https://soundcloud.com/alfafirefox/reach-for-the-sky Intro What makes a man? What makes a man decide to chose what doesn't seem right? What makes a man? What makes a man decide to use the power inside and take a chance Verse 1 And... so here I stand Choices got me this far I will have no regrets No regrets no regrets I live for today All present will become past And we all know time forgets Time forgets time forgets Bridge 1 I could have chosen To take a chance back then Regret ? What If I would have chosen To take a chance back then Regret ? NO ! Chorus Reach for the sky and fall to the ground Reach for the sky and fall to the ground Reach and fall fall fall Forever Verse 2 So… can't change things no more Should I have tried to do more Why do these thoughts Keep coming on coming on me Now I have to live With the choices I have made with reactions of my words No regrets no regrets Bridge 2 I could have chosen To take a chance back then Regret ? What If I would have chosen To take a chance back then Regret ? NO ! NO ! Chorus Reach for the sky or fall to the ground Reach for the sky or fall to the ground Reach or fall fall fall It's my choice Outro Follow your path Enjoy the journey Be thankful for what you have now Never hold grudges Try not to judge people Control negative thoughts Use your energy wisely And always keep on moving forward... |

This is great, guys! The mix sounds very good and qualitative. I really enjoyed the intro, especially the drums.

Spiff! Reminds me of SINBREED! Well played and well produced guys! THis is a GREAT example of using SOFTWARE instruments to full advantage. Guitar emulation (GR5) and Drum Emulation (Metal machine, my current FAVE!) and even Mix Emulation! (EX Mix). With just a few plugins it's easier than ever to get decent sound in your own home studio. Not to take anything way from the production itself as you can still get really awful results using the same tools if you don't do it well.
Sounding great guys! Are the vocals doubled? If not, worth a try! Also, doubling the guitars/solos is a bit of secret sauce worth the the effort!
