I am sky
I am light
I'm the guiding eye
I am song
I am heart
I'm the battle cry
I'm above
I am love
I'm the evening star
I'm the prayer
I am there
Where the wishes are
I'm the spire
Stretching into sky
Piercing into night
I am truth in flight
Through the silence
I'm the wind
I begin
I'm the winding way
I am flight
I am night
As it turns to day
I'm the spire
Stretching into sky
Piercing into night
I am truth in flight
Through the silence
I'm inside
I'm the tide
I'm the rising sea
I'm the shore
I endure
Under footsteps free
I'm the spire
Stretching into sky
Piercing into night
I am truth in flight
Through the silence
I am one
I am sun
In the darkened sky
I am breeze
I am ease
I'm the butterfly
I'm the spire
Stretching into sky
Piercing into night
I am truth in flight
Through the silence, I'm
I'm the spire
Piercing into night
I am truth in flight
Through the silence

This is the fourth original song in my Drums-First Series, which are songs that I write originating with drums. Normally I write with guitar so this series is a creative journey meant to send me in new directions. How it works is I sit behind the drum kit and come up with a few parts that I think work together (verse part, chorus part and maybe a bridge or instrumental part), figure out the structure of the song and then record the drums for the whole song. At this point I have no preconceived idea what the melodic instruments or vocals will be doing. The drums lead, followed by bass and then guitar and vocals as well as keys. I build the song layer by layer based on what works nicely with the previous layer. I am having so much fun creating songs this way and I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me :)

Not as "complex as some might think!
I really like this song/arrangement.
(Vesper, I can tell you have put TRUE work and love into this!)
I hear Heart and Led Zeppelin kind of influences, but I ALSO hear something NEW!
(I think it is YOU!)
this talent level and quality.. I would think a 5 million dollar studio...
ps. wow !!

Wonderful songwriting, performance, recording, mix, lyrics and video.
I love the beginning, and how it opens up after a couple of verses.
Great job on bass/drums combo.
Be proud, very proud of your work Vesper.
6 STAR rating. ❤
Thank you, Richard! It's so much fun building these songs and seeing where they go. I am glad you like how the layers come in on the 2nd verse . I added a second guitar there and keys, as well as harmonies. It's like building a house, or even better - a layer cake!
@@Vesper_Songs and a great cake it is!!😀

Congratulations Vesper, another great original! Keep crankin em out, I love it ❤
I hear 12 string...and is that dropped D or maybe DADGAD tuning?
Thanks so much, Katerina! Believe it or not, no 12-string on this one. It's just my Martin guitar, but 2 tracks. One through my new effects pedal and the other clean. I am glad it sounds like a 12 string! Yes, double dropped D tuning on this one - good ear!
@@Vesper_Songs Oh I see, it's the 6-string double tracked! Yes it does sound 12 especially in the beginning. How fun, all the machinery you have, it really lets all your talent fly!!
@@Katerina9256 the machinery has unleashed a monster! 👾
@@Vesper_Songs lol I love it 😄
We’ll done. You are getting better with each number. Keep it going! Is the vocal you double tracked or someone else?
Thanks, Frank! I appreciate your encouragement 🙂 All the tracks are me so yes, I am singing harmonies with myself!
@@Vesper_Songs John Lennon did a lot of double tracking. Kurt Cobain too.
Looks like I'm in good company 🙂
