Brilliant and as said, a great driving riff

It's interesting that it has a modern groove rock vibe and production but when you strip it back to its core it could be a 70s blues rock song.
You've definitely found a new sound and identity for the band that is a departure from Cirse -------------------- My SoundCloud

Yes, it is! QUOTE (PosterBoy @ Nov 12 2021, 01:15 PM) It's interesting that it has a modern groove rock vibe and production but when you strip it back to its core it could be a 70s blues rock song. Nice analysis! That was exactly the goal so I'm very happy of reading this message. The plan was to create a 70s blues rock tune with a completely modern sound and production. QUOTE (PosterBoy @ Nov 12 2021, 01:15 PM) You've definitely found a new sound and identity for the band that is a departure from Cirse This made the things harder and slower, but it was the rule number 1 when we started Ramen. QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Nov 12 2021, 01:42 PM) Awesome!! Such a cool riff and organic sound - absolutely loved it! 👏 Thanks a lot Kris! QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Nov 12 2021, 03:32 PM) Super awesome tune and killer VIDEO!!! Did you produce the vid? Can you tell us about the production? Thanks a lot Todd! No, the video was done by the same director than the previous 2 videos. His name is Mariano Dawidson and he is a very known films and video clips director here. The production was very cheap in this case. He was the only one filming with one camera. We borrowed a very nice small venue and tried to make it look like something completely different.

I love this song and this album!! QUOTE (Monica Gheorghevici @ Nov 12 2021, 05:27 PM) That's a really awesome song!!! The composition and the overall atmosphere from video production gives a really great mood. So much energy!!! I think would be totally killer if you will make a lesson in this style. That part from 2:30 - 2:45 it makes you take the guitar and play. Thanks a lot Moni! I would really like to do a lesson based on this song. QUOTE (Jim S. @ Nov 12 2021, 09:25 PM) This song has such great energy! I wish I knew what she is singing about!!! Thanks mate! I don't have the translation yet, but this is the Spanish version: Voces: El calor, la emoción, se introducen dentro del plexo respirar la explosión me estalla el techo mientras sudo, y me paralizo acá en mi habitación Voy de espalda al vacío, dicen que solo alucino Ya no tengo dirección, ni salida Y escucho voces mintiéndonos, en el oído, sigue ese ruido Más me buscan, más me exprimen, intento redescubrirme, olvidarme de este presente, y volar atada a mi Más me siguen, más lo evito me tiran, insisten, me quiebro en dos al menos no sigo pensando en vos y ocupo el tiempo Y escucho voces, gritándonos, en el oído, sigue ese ruido, se me olvida lo que nos pasó y se muy poco de vos la realidad que habitas solo un día en mi dimensión empieza la diversión y quizás nunca te irías Y escucho voces, cantándonos, en el oído, sigue ese ruido. QUOTE (MonkeyDAthos @ Nov 13 2021, 10:55 AM) You know even though Português and Spanish are somehow related, language wise, I've always enjoyed listening to people singing in spanish 100x more than português. Nice! I like songs in Português. QUOTE (HiimAlex @ Nov 13 2021, 01:37 PM) Amazing! Cool song and well done Thanks friend! QUOTE (tflava @ Nov 13 2021, 04:36 PM) Very cool Gab.

QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Nov 13 2021, 02:53 PM) Very nice song, Gabriel! I think it's heavier than some of the other Ramen songs. I like it Here are some questions for your (question in bold and just my thoughts related to the questions after that):- What inspired you (the band) for this song? It feels heavier than the previous Ramen songs, I think. - What compositional techniques were used? Just pure "in the moment", or more of "I think a melody that goes higher here will work, cause it is the opposite of the previous line" and such? - How do you as a band work with the lyrics vs the music? To me it's very important that the feel of the music and the lyrics "match" (or at least that it's a conscious choice that they don't match), but it has made it difficult to work with other people, as sometimes people don't place the same importance or emphasis on lyrics, music and them being connected. Very cool questions! I’ll be back with elaborate answers. -------------------- My lessons

Ok Cael, here I go with my answers.
QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Nov 13 2021, 02:53 PM) - What inspired you (the band) for this song? It feels heavier than the previous Ramen songs, I think. The original version had guitars that sounded more fuzz oriented like Jack White, and The Dead Weather. When I began with the track, I was trying to create a song like this one.. so this is the first influence/inspiration: As the tune got its own life, the idea was to produce something that combines the sound of Rage Against the Machine with Led Zeppelin but with a modern production. I've been listening to a lot of industrial music, like NIN, John 5, but also a bit of Bring Me The Horizon. During the process, I discovered this song and I think that influenced a bit the overall vibe. When we started Ramen, we wanted to make something new, something that sounds modern. However, we found it tricky at first to make powerful rock songs that sound modern. Everything sounded "old" or "already done". We found fresher stuff when going slower or more electronic. With this tune we could find a balance that we like. QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Nov 13 2021, 02:53 PM) - What compositional techniques were used? Just pure "in the moment", or more of "I think a melody that goes higher here will work, cause it is the opposite of the previous line" and such? I composed the first demo (grooves, riffs and structure without vocal melody) some years ago. The singer worked on some lyrics and melodies. But we only liked some of the verses. We had to work a lot until we found the right melody for the other parts and the chorus. We tried lots of variations. I even tried an alternate chorus in which the riff moved harmonically. But it didn't work. We got back to the original riff and decided to go for this simple but effective chorus melody. We wanted to give this one a rap vibe in the verses influences by RATM. That's why there is not too much melody there. Then, the part C (bridge) appeared in the studio while the singer was improvising. Honestly, it took a LOT of work to find the right vocal melody. QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Nov 13 2021, 02:53 PM) - How do you as a band work with the lyrics vs the music? To me it's very important that the feel of the music and the lyrics "match" (or at least that it's a conscious choice that they don't match), but it has made it difficult to work with other people, as sometimes people don't place the same importance or emphasis on lyrics, music and them being connected. Yes, this is the trickiest part. The singer wrote some verses and then, I had to complete the concept with the other parts. My girlfriend is a killer songwriter. She wrote the lyrics for the first Ramen's song (En lo profundo) and she also helped me to complete the concept for this one. Once we could find the right words that fit well with the melody and with the overall concept, I had to convince the band that this was the way to go... the trickier part. But I've been doing this for more than 15 years... so I'm trained.  I know what you mean about working as a team. Sometimes it can make things slower, sometimes it can even make thing don't happen. But when magic appears, and connection magically takes place, the results makes you feel very proud. As I am with this track.

Yes! I think that this is the other song that I have in mind at first while listening to that Dead Weather tune which is also inspired by "Immigrant Song".
I always wanted to play that LZ cover live and it never happened. Now I have my own track in this style.
