Hello:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104187875/Ghost-Ship.mp3

ghost ship

the snow is falling on your scars
the wind is blowing through my heart

i fell asleep since we part
if i woke up today i know you d still be afar

on a ghost ship on a frozen sea
standin on the railing
waving her arms to me goodbye

you know i loved you so
but thats so long ago

staring at the sky, i know
time to let go


thank you for listening.

This is definitely my sort of music, reminds me of longing for lost love in the middle of winter, cold and chilly but somehow reassuring.

Well played and sung.

Impressed,

Keith

[rightly]

really good.
very sad.

[Movin Flavour]

Very moving and melodic song.


Great guitars vocals and love the production.

Good guitar solo too.

Got to me this did, quite beautiful actually...

[AndyV]

Makes me think of some stuff David Gilmore does, except maybe for the guitar style.

Not so keen of the vocal effects in the end, but that's just me. Overall a great song.

[MartynRich]

Excellent song Butcher...very moving. Love the whole performance, it really is delivered well and the song itself is wonderful. You´ve got some great guitars going on here - extremely tasteful with not a note put in there for the sake of it (something very difficult to find with guitarists). Reminded me in places of Radiohead, but much better.

Hi Daniel, very nicely constructed and produced,love the instrumentation and arrangement. Vocals up to your normal high standard. Radiohead ish, which is a good thing! I can hear what you were trying to do with the vocal effect and it very nearly aces it, but not quite. Excellent stuff!
Well done!
Cheers

Really, really nice production, well done.

I love the guitar work and nice vocals effects. Pretty hard to find vault, excellent

Great ambience Butcher. I really like the feel of this. It's mellow sad yet powerful and strong and well thought out

[tina m]

I thought this was quite beautiful  & mesmerising..
the way you recorded it with the vocal effects & the minimal guitar was exquisite & made it realy atmospheric
the lyrics read a bit awkwardly but are fine in the song so it didnt realy matter (i guess english isnt your first language) but they work very well & are very moving
I thought it was beautifully sad & romantic & totally fabulous!

Hi Butcher,

This has a wonderful ambiance to it - lots of space and delicate, subtle little things going on. Beautiful vocal and a lovely haunting, spare lyric.

Mesmeric as someone else said.

A lovely thing indeed.

[JolieThePassenger]

Lovely stuff.  I thought of Lambchop a couple of times while listening.

Well done!

Good guitar solo too.

funny you mention the guitar solo. it was more like a rhythm guitar melody thing that played throughout the whole song (in the old version) - well...
thank you for the nice words

thank you.
The thing bout the vocal fx is:
It s a vocal pitcher. you can pick any note, which made me create this new melody. so, the composition doesn t exist without that fx. of course it s a matter of personal taste.
tx a lot for your time.

yes, i heard the "atmospheric" thing quite often....for anyone who s interested in the technical aspect:

i take one of the main midi melodies, a piano or so what; (should be midi, cause it s more accurate - shouldn't t be chords, makes it messy).
Then i do A LOT of time stretching and reversing...you find really crazy melodies and sounds; and the always kinda fit.

as you know, i m working on the lyrics thing
tx a lot for your nice words and your time.

Like everyone else, I really like this. For me there is a Dave Gilmour influence but original too, not a copy. DG is one of my influences too, and a kind of hero, you've done a great job. I think you pulled off those vocals effects perfectly. I would enjoy hearing more in this style - it has actually inspired me to do something along these lines for my next project. Not easy to record acoustic guitars this well.
