	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! Monty 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
