To Be Human - I+Everything (demo)

Watch on 3Speak



---

This is a song I have only played live a few times and really wanted to share already. It’s a song about the human condition, not just as something set in stone but as something that is always evolving and changing, a story which the authors are the characters.

This was recorded as a rough draft in a friends tiny studio in Hong Kong, and is without any editing, mixing etc. but as I’m not able to do any polished recordings right now I thought it better to share this as it is for now. Hopefully I’ll get around to re-recording sometime in 2023. I was not all that thrilled with the vocals and I’d like to put more instruments in the mix.

Sounds pretty alright in this allegedly rough state.

My brain has decided to be a pain in the system so I can't actually understand much of anything but I liked how it sounded XP

I'm just really not happy with the vocals. The song itself sounds great I think ,but my voice feels a bit weak and whiney, and I also think this song could have a lot more depth if I add some more sounds.

This and another previously only live song which I am itching to re-record! And Invisible Strings which you've probably heard before but probably forgot. The other 3 I've shared I'm quite happy with (other than the crappy drumming on Mirror!)

Given some of the grunge and alt rock stuff I've heard I think some people like whiny XD

I'm also randomly reminded of getting irritated by my eldest (who was 2 at the time) who was talking in a whiny tone, I said to him "Can you please stop whining" and was about to explain that the tone was irritating when he replied "But I like whining!" in the same whiny tone XD

Sounds like the rerecording will be amazing :)

A Poetic Reflection on Life's Cycles

In this poetic and introspective piece, the narrator explores the cyclical nature of life and the human experience. Through a series of vivid images and metaphors, the listener is taken on a journey of self-discovery and contemplation.

The opening lines set the tone, with a man picking up a stone and declaring it as his "goal." This simple act serves as a metaphor for the way we often fixate on material or superficial objectives, overlooking the deeper meaning and purpose in our lives.

The narrator then delves into the complexities of love, noting that it "shouldn't feel so heavy." This suggests a longing for a more profound and fulfilling connection, one that transcends the burdens and expectations often associated with relationships.

The recurring motif of "tangle nuts" and "the sins learned from before" hints at the entanglement of past experiences and the weight of our mistakes. The narrator acknowledges the temptation to "fight and take more," alluding to the human tendency to seek validation or resolution through conflict and acquisition.

However, the piece also offers a glimmer of hope, as the narrator questions the notion that "there's no other way." This suggests a desire to break free from the cycles of struggle and find a new path forward.

The repetition of the line "Man picks up a stone, says this is my goal" serves as a poignant refrain, underscoring the universal human experience of becoming trapped in narrow, material-focused goals. The narrator's empathetic observation that "that poor man looks just like me" further reinforces the idea that we are all on a shared journey, grappling with similar challenges and desires.

Towards the end, the narrator contemplates the possibility that "what we wanted" may be "over," hinting at a realization that the goals and aspirations we once held may no longer serve us. The final lines offer a glimmer of hope, as the narrator acknowledges that "we've all been born every moment," suggesting the possibility of renewal and rebirth.

Overall, this piece invites the listener to reflect on the cyclical nature of life, the limitations of our material pursuits, and the potential for personal growth and transformation. Through its poetic language and evocative imagery, it encourages us to look beyond the surface and explore the deeper truths that lie within the human experience.
