Alright so it took me
a couple weeks to
wrap my head and heart around
what I wanted to do on the
new song “The Reckoning”
Well… technically longer than that lol…
I started writing that song over two years ago…
But it’s been 2 weeks since my
last Studio Journal post
talking about my feelings surrounding it.
You can check that out here if you missed it.
So I posted a teaser clip of it
and Instagram here
I’m in the process this week of
making a Songs-in-Progress page for it too now
I haven’t officially announced this publicly yet
but I wanted to share some insider info
just with my FUTURE SPHERE subscribers in here though…
Which is…. that my HOPE is that I can get
Rose Read to sing vocals on it!
I have a 2nd verse written and
I can just hear her rocking that part.
If you don’t know this already
Rose was the featured artist on
“Don’t Won’t Can’t” from my
my recent full-length Visionaries album.
She has a KILLER voice.
She also sang on two songs from my
very first Doubt to Belief album
which you may already know is
not available on streaming, just as a free CD that is
included in my “Fenwick & the Past” CD bundle.
Hit me up if you’d like a copy.
ANYWAY, a little more background story to this…
Rose and I grew up together.
She’s my youngest sister’s BEST friend from growing up
so basically a sister to me too.
I have three sisters
One older sister & two younger.
No brothers.
I grew up the only boy so I was used to locking myself away
in my room playing guitar or video games
whenever the house was filled with my sisters
and all their screaming girlfriends haha!
(Just kidding, sisters- if you’re reading this! lol)
ANYWAY the song will be SO much better if Rose sings on it.
Here’s the lyrics so far
(which will also be updated on the songs-in-progress page):
Here we go again
Offering of sin
Never-ending win
For the god you’re under
Codependent life
Like a rogue in the night with a side of thunder
Like a knife in the teeth with a slice of hunger
Never seen anything with a bite quite like this
I’m the lore, I’m a myth, I’m a force to be reckoned with
(female vocals):
Isn’t it a shame
Caught up in the same
Only one to blame
For the tithe you plunder
Calculated find
Like a rogue in the night with a side of thunder
Like a knife in the teeth with a slice of hunger
Never seen anything with a bite quite like this
I’m the lore, I’m a myth, I’m a force to be reckoned with
From there the idea is to do a vocal breakdown bridge section
with Rose and I singing “whoas”
Rose actually came up with the idea a couple years ago
when I asked her for input on the song.
It’s sounding so sick!
Anyway, that’s all I have time for today.
Gotta get back to packing CD orders which…
we’ve almost had 1,000 orders come in so far over the last month!
I really can’t believe it.
I’m so thrilled and grateful that
people all over the country have in their hands
physical copies of music that came from the depths of my heart in soul
Feeling so very lucky right now.
And grateful that you’re here reading this.
As always, thank you for being here
And thanks for being you, FUTURE.
