Boromir's woes.


Wrote it this morning in a couple hrs


Even so wrong, you were right

And you showed them all your might

Though the moonlight in the sky won't reach your eyes

So now in truth here you lie

And the gold you lie beside

Pays for one last solemn ride toward the light


Can you reach out through your mound and touch the ones you left behind?

Is it only me who knows how hard you tried?


A life of good outweighs the ill

One moment swayed your will

As many mortals so befouled in rising tides

Oh sure footing did you find

after stumbling so blind

With fate to guide your fall, a blessing in disguise


Many tales and songs will tell of noble deeds and how you fell

How the river bore you through the lands where once you dwelled


Even so wrong, you were right

And you showed them all your might

Though the moonlight in the sky won't reach your eyes

Now in truth here you lie

And the gold you lie beside

Pays for one last solemn ride toward the light

That song's rad. I love the way the guitar follows the vocals as the tempo fluctuates -- I'm guessing you recorded both at the same time? Sounds dope.

I'm wondering how the mix would sound if the panning was a little more extreme. I got the sense that guitar and vocals were both dead center. Maybe you could try that John Lennon ADR stuff to create the illusion everything's double-tracked.

Interesting choice at the end, singing the word "toward" like "too-word" -- I always thought that word was one syllable, but it sounded cool the way you sang it.

I dig that "moonlight won't reach your eyes" line, it puts a cool image in my head

Yeah this is just one take playing and singing same time. I put a compressor on to oomph the volume a bit but didn't think to mess with anything else so it's just that single-mic centered sound.
Thanks for kind words man. I'm gonna try writin some more guitar/singing stuff.

Amazing, truly amazing work with both lyrics and singing

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thank you very much 😁

oh shit! Funny enough, I'm getting that bard from the witcher vibe.
Good stuff man! handling those vocals beautifully! Really dig the writing to.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks! I kinda had that medieval storyteller thing in mind from Tolkien's songs/poems
