I'll rise with no other

I'll Rise With No Other by Magnus Reimer

BUY THIS AT BANDCAMP

This is so overproduced I'm tempted to call it my Sufjan Moment, but to many of you it will still probably just sound like Depeche Mode. I don't know where to begin. I started out in April composing this for piano and vocals only. I tried to make something different yet simple, using a lot of extended chords and quartal and quintal chords, then I worked my way back to "normality" using melodies and implied 3rds. The scaled down version sounded terrible so I began experimenting with different settings, a process that took 8 month. During the production I have, to mention one thing, played percussion on an oven plate with a chopstick (that's the swish-sound).

The insanely lenghthy production and lots of annoying difficulties with mixing almost made me lose interest in music, but now that it's finished I'm pretty damn happy I never gave up. If you like this song, please let me know, because I'm sort of dying here. This project is really hard on the nerves at the moment. Cheers and hugs.

Lyrics:

There's a noise at the core of everything
I'm dreading the roar unraveling
So entirely unlived still
I'm waging a war on little things
Not dreading the core of everything
And I'll come back and I can try again

You can hide under a million things
But you can't hide that you've been suffering

I'm surrounded by a million morons
Waging war on a million morons
So entirely unlived still
There's a noise at the core of everything
And I'm dreading the roar unraveling
But I'll come back and I can try again

You can hide under a million things
But you can't hide that you've been suffering

And you, that storm, I'll rise with no other
rise with no other, rise with no other than
you, in that storm, I'll rise with no other
rise with no other, I'll rise with no other than...
...you.
