My next song which is currently in the process of being made is going to be called ‘Utterance’. The lyrics are taken from the Hidden Words which are Writings of Baha’u’llah.
I wrote the music a few years after lockdown. It is a little less produced and rough around the edges so far. I’m trying to work to quicker deadlines and have it released soon as I have a lot more music to produce.
This song was written quite quickly. I had come up with the bridge of the song a long time ago from an old song I’d written and then built the verse and chorus around the bridge – it’s not the usual way I approach songwriting, but it worked out well in the end.
Once I wrote and recorded a rough version of the song, I sent it off for a session guitarist to come up with a lead guitar part for the song. I had very little input into the creative process other than giving an outline of what kind of vibe I was after.
I spent a little more time tightening up parts and recording vocals. I didn’t want to put too many layers on the vocals this time and wanted to keep it more raw. However, I am spending more time re-evaluating the vocals to make sure I’m completely happy with them.
I hope everyone will enjoy it once it’s finished.
