Story Behind the Song
After remixing Public Enemy where the focus was on attempting to create something different and push the traditional music boundaries of pop music, I found myself wanting to go further down that path with my next song, Static Space. Sonically, my previous songs were not layered nearly as much as my PE remix, and lyrically boring. My goal was to create a song that was extensively layered, produced, diverse, and more interesting lyrically.
I wrote about 10 pages of lyrics, based around the same theme and selected my favorite phrases for this song. These lyrics are much more personal than my other lyrics, based entirely on how I was feeling at the time. After having the lyrics selected, I assembled a demo of the song that involved just the vocals, electronic drums/bass, and was written in traditional pop format.
Next, I wanted to take the demo and completely destroy it. Have the song follow more of a "scene" based musical format rather than a pop format. Make the song move into various different short instrumentals yet still flow. I created and named different "scenes" and tried to have the music fit the theme. "Ascend To Heaven" and "Descent To hell" were some names of the scenes I attempted to create, putting the song together in more of a classical method. The choir samples used in the song are supposed to accentuate this. I reversed a boy chanting "Agnus Dei" (Latin for "The Lamb of God") and used the Gregorian chant of "Morte et Dabo" (Latin for "The Gift Of Death").
Sonically, I wanted to liven things up a bit. Using the acoustic drum performances of Greg Morrow, and using a live bass hopefully makes the song less robotic though still very electronic. I also attempted to do different things with my vocals. Singing in a lower range, screaming, talking, layering, etc. This is my most produced and edited song to date, and marks the first time I have ever had a song professionally mastered. I think all of these elements contributed to a more professional and interesting sounding song and is another step closer to finding what "my sound" is.
I hope you enjoy the track as much as I did creating it!

Lyrics
Turn off everything else and
Experience something that's clean
It's impossible to feel the fall
When heaven is all that can be seen
But now I know out there
Is where everything is lost
And now I know in here
Is where everything is found
In this static space
In this static place
We can all embrace our fate
And come alive
With a static taste
And your thoughts encased
Everything is laced with grace
Immortalize
In here nothing can change
And the skies are the ground
My dreams are my savior
Cause my dreams are the background
The world will shut me down
If I don't shut it down first
My mind will shut me down
If I don't shut it down first
In this static space (repeated)
Darkness
Then Light
But nothing in between
Look up
Join my eyes become the space all around
Look down see nothing but an eternity from the ground
No where do I want to be
Than in these pleasant skies
But all I see around me
Are the diamonds and the eyes
In this static space
In my static space
If I could live
Here forever
Always feel the sunlight
Then I would never once again
See the scratches and the white
But I know
The walls will come again
Yes I know
The white will come again
