The Devil Within You

richardyotrichardyot
in Creations & Collaborations

A guitar-driven song, tracked and mixed in Logic. I dressed up the guitar riff with Baby Audio Transit to liven it up, and also added some Alchemy, Mariana, and Relic Waves in the more textural sections.

Drums were handmade using the Logic kits, and the bass is from the touch instruments. I put the whole thing together in a week or so, mostly in the evenings.

The vocals were recorded in a very live-sounding room so they are awash with natural reverb, as well as some DDMF Magic Verb on top.

Lyrics in the spoiler:

Truth, lies, who can tell
When the conjurer casts a spell
You see the mirrors in the cloak
You spot the wires in the smoke

There’s a devil within you
I wish I thought it wasn’t true
But that devil within you
Will always come to claim his due

You can’t hide yourself away
You cheat and lie and you betray
You’ll never change the things you do
When there’s a devil within you

Trick, grift, ne’er do well
Your nervous tick is such a tell
You smile to shield yourself from me
But you can’t hide so easily

There’s a devil within you
I wish I thought it wasn’t true
But that devil within you
Will always come to claim his due

You can’t hide yourself away
You cheat and lie and you betray
You’ll never change the things you do
When there’s a devil within you

    Great song!
    @id_23 is right there something of the church here.

    The intro is phenomenal, and the guitar work is fantastic. I like it very much. Did you shorten the song on purpose? The name of the song is so cool! 🤩

    Thanks for listening! The fade-out is deliberate, I usually have a definite ending to my songs but sometimes a fade is the right thing, and I thought it might work in this case.

    Never mind, it’s probably because I wanted to listen to more of it. 😌

    I really liked that, as a concept.
    Great work, you've come a long way.

    I love it! Really nice sounds and the vocals are perfect for the style. Gives me a kinda Mercury Rev vibe or even Charlatans. Great stuff! 👍👍

  • HotStrangeHotStrange

    Love it! Can hear some 90s Britpop influence I think. The guitar tone and vocals are excellent 🤌🏻🤌🏻

    Another great song, Richard! Bravo 👏
    Especially loving the transition that reminds me a lot of Dark Side Of The Moon with the speaking voice in the background. Great stuff!
    One question though... Did you sign a pact with the devil to write such great songs 😉 ?

  • LinearLinemanLinearLineman

    I hope this isn’t autobiographical, Richard. Very well done, as per usual. Thx for sharing outside SOTMC.

    That's a good thing in my book, the listener might hit repeat. ⏯

    Thanks for listening 🙏
