Blackest Star - A Slab of Gothic Techno with Guitars

[CosmicDolphin]

The Dark Dolphin Project continues.....

It's taken over a year to finally get this one out the door, which is strange because it's fairly simple.  Sometimes I think a song needs to turn the right corner to fulfill it's potential and despite some great additions by the gang here MY parts weren't quite doing it.  So after taking a long sabbatical I came back with the idea of re-working the programmed drums & bass which seem to have helped it achieve lift off in a much more satisfying way.

A first for me was a featured  Ebow part played by Doc, something I hope to use again in future....Ebows are cool !

Huge thanks as ever to everyone invlolved and for putting up with me and letting me edit everything to death 

New mix added May 2013 - I reworked the intro and brought the vox out more

Lyrics

verse

The Blackest Star
Is what you are to me, I know
That what you give to me
You give to me with honesty..and

The darkest dream
A distant point of light , I feel
You calling out to me
To bring your light
Into the night

chorus

Ohhh..I'm falling into the gravity
Of you and me
Ohhh..I'm falling into depravity
For you and me.....


verse

The deepest soul
A well that runs so deep, I feel
You falling into me
And fill me with intensity..ohhh..

I feel the cold
A chill that runs deep in your heart
And you come back to me
And Fill me with your energy

Rpt Chorus

The blackest star  you call across all space and time
A dark fatality collapsing singularity...oh I'm

Falling into the gravity of you and me Oh I'm
Falling into Depravity for you & me...........eee

Is that you CD, that hardly sounds like you.  Your voice sounds more masculine here than all your other songs 

This is VERY cool, another one for my playlist.  Thank you for all the free songs 

There is a lot I like about this song.  Your lyrics are always very personal and have a "dark depth" that I don't see anybody else doing quite the same as you do. It hits home in a good way so guess that's why I like what you do so much and why I'm your No. 1 fan.  Love the music and all the sound effects; it all meshes together superbly.

The Ebow is very cool.  I'll have to google it, I'm not even sure what it looks like.  How come Doc never played Ebow on my songs 

I'm on my fourth listen ... anyways 10/10

Hi Dark Dolphin and crew,

A super track with all the synth and "real" parts complementing each other perfectly. The rhythm section is awesome.

Super performances from everyone. The mix is excellent - punchy and clear!!

I-podded!!!

A year!!!!! No way 
I know it has felt like a while since the initial bed track was posted and everyone's ideas were being thrown around the place. but It really doesn't feel THAT long!
Fantastic mix, arrangement, structure, writing....just an all round fantastic individual achievement, with the help of some online friends, from a very talented individual! This IS your sound, this is your niche.

[CosmicDolphin]

Wow what great comments...I'm made up ....thanks it makes it all worthwhile

Lol, it's definitely me....why do I normally sound like a woman 

[Errol]

Lol, it's definitely me....why do I normally sound like a woman 

Not a woman I'd care to meet.    Very cool song. Like the darkness. Really well put together. 

[Casia - lyricist]

Woman-ish  , just higher on other songs

Woman-ish  , just higher on other songs

Well never let it be said I'm not in touch with my feminine side 

[docmidnite]

Faboulous!
I already shared it on fb!

Thanks for being a part of it...NOT only on Ebow!

You pulled that right out of the bag, Mark. Nice one, geezer! I'm definitely treating myself to the album when it gets finished.

Btw - Millwall have got Villa in the cup. We're going to give you a footballing lesson.....championship stylie!

Oh god...well Bradford gave us one  ( going tho the 2nd leg BTW ) I don't see why Millwall can't knock us out away from home in a one off match.

I've listened to this several times now.
At a first listen it's not really my normal style but i keep listening.
I guess the point is...it's pretty cool...all the texture and the groove.
I've found that while your style CD isn't my normal taste there always seems to be something that pulls the listener in.
Great job.
