More Than Love takes you on a journey through the realms of desire, questioning love’s boundaries and celebrating its imperfections. With a fusion of emotion and beats, ‘More Than Love’ serves as an anthem of those who dare to embrace the messy, beautiful complexity of human connection. Press play, let go, and immerse yourself. It released on Spotify Oct. 20.
This presented some interesting technical issues. I’ve given up on RMS for now, but from a standpoint of how it sounded on headphones versus studio speakers was concerning. Reeling in the bass with some comp and eq seems to have helped but i still fight a lot with with the high end of guitar (solution – no more guitars haha). I think the ending chorus needed that extra energy though and i didn’t want to dampen it too much. Pushed vocals front and center to the end until they give way to the final wall of sound. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
More Than Love
try to put my finger on it
but it remains elusive
what is it after all this time
how do you draw me in
into this world of sin
must be out of my fucking mind
so what are we waiting for
push me down on the floor
stay here awhile and be with me
only have questions when
you’re almost ready to send
say its not love but so much more
it’s not a perfect circle
it’s messy and out of place
we don’t belong in this world
wouldn’t have it any other way
when i look in your eyes
i can only surmise
that theres still something
i can’t see
do we even care
pulling love out of air
or is it just a fantasy
it’s not a perfect circle
it’s messy and out of place
we don’t belong to this world
wouldn’t have it any other way
you’ve got to know i’ll ship you
but its so much more than love
don’t even know where to place it
if a push ever comes to shove
it’ll never be so simple
that we’ll ever want to explain
to anyone else outside us
push me down on that floor again
try to put my finger on it
but it remains elusive
after all it’s more than love
