Human Touch is the first track to embrace a new sound and mixing style. Guitars supply a strong background foundation that supports a chorus you can enjoy rocking out to.
3/19 Update – this was remixed and remastered. Sounds much better now. Will appear on Spotify as “Human Touch – Remastered”
Human Touch was a difficult one to put together. I hadn’t been taking mixing as seriously as I should, and this was one that forced me to rethink levels and how instrument busses and a submix should be used.
The bass pumps in waves and pretty much overpowered all the other instruments when it kicked in, pushing the compression into overdrive and making the mix feel overloaded and a bit squashed. Putting a directional mixer on the bass and reeling it in a bit, I was able to still keep the driving strength of the low tones without it bleeding all over the place. The guitars are a new sound I’m working with which seems to really accentuate the chorus well. Another upcoming song called “Midnight Calls” expands upon that power.
Again, I hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting and listening!
Human Touch Lyrics
i’m afraid
to go outside
not because of the rain
and giving in
to the elements
soaking in the pain
don’t want to explore
memories
not for me to decide
maybe we’ll close our eyes
a while
under the sunset sky
don’t want to see the other side
but want to be with you
want to feel the human touch
want to feel this life
think we’re going
to be ok
angels are nearby
don’t want to see the other side
but want to be with you
want to feel the human touch
want to feel this life
don’t need to see the other side
but need to be with you
don’t need to understand this life
except the human touch is you
oh
I want to feel the human touch
I want to feel this life
