    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
