General / Off-Topic Finish the Fight - TTF production log

Hey,
since i'm frequenting this forum on a more common base, and since PlanCo custom assets are not the only passion i have,
i thought this might be a good thread to read through, if you're interested in seeing a song progress from its conception and composition to its final mixdown.

Let's start off simple.

This song is called "Time to Fight". i wrote it and produced a demo, back in 2003/2004 when my life was still on the bright side.
But i feel now is the time to really make this into a finished production. Finish the fight, so to speak.

I will, for the first time in my life, give some insight into my production process, the tools i use, annotations on how certain lyrics-passages came to be,
what the song means to me, and how it progresses over time until it's finished.

This is the original instrumental Demo from 2004, sadly, back then i was never able to finish it, so eventually it landed in the Vault (that's my archive of unreleased works i did over my lifetime.)

If this isn't the right place for it, it's ok, just let me know, dear (human) mods.



Before i go into this any further, here's the demotrack:




The lyrics:

DOUBLESPIN - Time to Fight

original lyrics: 13.3.2007
new lyrics: 5.3.2017/4.12.2017/5.12.2017

Every day, all the time,
every night i hear this chime.
I can't repress it, i'm a slave to it.

Makes my choice, rules my life.
Pulls me down, cuts like a knife.
Every day, all the time.

Don't blame it on me it's come to this
the time you stole, the years i missed.
I wave goodbye to my old life
to end your tyranny.

-c1-
I've had enough of this
i want to speak the man in charge
Not gonna give this up
It's time to fight, let's pick it up
-c1-

v2 --- let's keep the second and third verse for the next post, for now :)



Honest feedback, of course, is appreciated.
After all, now you read this you are part of the process, oops, too bad 🤷‍♂️ ;) (jk)

Thanks for reading,
Arti
 
more lyrics to share:
(v2)

About to break out, fly away
not for one more day the/this feeling is to stay
The song in my head, it sounds so beautiful

Time to fight, time to draw the line.
time to stop you from taking what's mine
I'm strong enough to face you now,
i'm dead serious / (I am (I'm that) furious)




the following i just wrote, just don't know where to put it, yet.


They torture me, doesn't even hurt,
my body bleeds, my soul flies like a bird

Seen so much, been stabbed for it
they see a weakness and try to cause :poop:
 
Haven't posted an update in a while:
Took a small detour and went on to finish production on another song i've been working on for a while

PS: This is a pre-master recording, it's not been through the mastering process, so the final recording will sound more dense and the bass
will be much smoother even while being less dominant, once it's combed.


I'll push TTF back some more, i'll give priority to two other compositions first that i feel the time is right for.
