Alive

Lyrics: Andrew Furlong
Composed, mixed & mastered by Steffen Offermann

Vocals: George Williams
Bass: Andy Gupta
Guitars: Andy Doherty
Drums: Marcel Hoeke
Synth: Steffen Offermann

You're the gasoline
I'm the flame
Like dynamite
When I call out your name

I'm the Ace of Hearts
You're the Queen
There's a twist of fate
And something you've never seen

Hold on tight, I'll make you chill
Go to places you never will
Let you know you're alive
Alive

There's a jagged edge
On angel skin
Playing dangerously
With the rage within

I'm an animal
Bearing teeth
Sensing innocence
Served at my own sweet feast

Hold on tight, I'll make you chill
Go to places you never will
Let you know you're alive
Alive

Let you know you're alive
Alive

Regards,
  Steffen

Thanks everybody!

Some people at the German recording site said the drums are a tad too dominant/upfront while the guitars could use some more balls. Listening again after a little pause I hear that too. I'll probably post a fixed version in a couple of days - unless I forget it. :)

Better mix (IMO) attached. This one was done in less than an hour - after a couple of days/weeks of not listening to the song.

Sounds good Steffen, the last chorus may have a tad too much revrb on the vox but a good mix on the whole!

I forgot to say thank you to everybody for listening! :)

Andy, yes, I agree - the final chorus has a tad too much delay (not reverb) - I did not check that chorus when I exported the mix. It has different settings than the other choruses. I'll probably fix that, but I don't think it's too dramatic.
