The Bird and the Worm (Cover)

VibrantEchoes

Started this thing several months ago and it's finally done! Originally it was going to be a duet, but unfortunately Lurid wasn't able to deliver. I learned a lot while working on this, especially about adding vocals to music. It's not quite as easy as I had expected it to be, and I ended up having to make several changes to accommodate the differences between what can be done with vocals and what can be done with an actual instrument. Luckily it still turned out pretty well imo.

LYRICS:
He wears his heart
Safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
Whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind away
Pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
Maybe out of his mind
Out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird

All he knows
If he can't relieve it it grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

Out of his mind away
Pushes him whispering
Must have been out of his mind

All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird

All alone he's
Holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm from a bird
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird

    Oh man it's a massive shame you couldn't get another vocalist in on this. Harmony would have completed this really really well.
    That said, the song as it is is still great. Maybe some creative EQing on the vocals and adjusting a few levels on the instruments would benefit it, but that's just me being nitpicky. =P

      I actually did try adding some minor EQing on the vocals and it definitely ended up making it worse, so I took them back off. I adjusted the fuck out of the instruments until I could listen to it all the way through and not change anything. So yeah that's definitely you being nitpicky since I already nitpicked this for hours lol

      It really would have been a lot better if Lurid could have sung for it like I'd originally planned, it kind of needed a male voice to compliment it, but unfortunately he seems to have lost all his singing skill since he was in choir a few years ago. We tried for about a month to add him in and it just wasn't working.

        fond of it, but expecting a male voice (based on what I saw in lyrics) kind of threw me off so it felt vocal was more high-pitched than needed. That was probably my own expectations getting in the way of just hearing then appreciating, but felt it was worth the mention. Normally I"m not into this kind of music, (I like country and golden oldies lol) but I did enjoy listening to it. Would there be a possibility of a non-vocal version being uploaded? I love the hauntingly good instrumental playing in the background.
