Vocal Production Notes
to the KyPoetry recording of the poem, All Woman Next to You, written by Kylyra
All Woman Next to YouI watched you as you lay Sleeping in the early eastern light. The urge was so strong I had to fight it down Beat it back To hold you, for just one night How can you keep Sleeping like a child When I'm all woman next to you? I drown in your dominion. As the music pounds my mind, In a room full of people You are all I find When I look up. And the morning after You lay sleeping Like a boy-king Sprawled across your throne. You won't even meet me eyes To offer me a bone to chew on. I could scream till my face is blue; How can you keep Sleeping like a child When I'm all woman next to you? We won't speak Of this, we never do. One more twisted cigarette butt And oh, there's quite a few Under the carpet this morning. How can you keep Sleeping like a child When I'm all woman next to you? |
I used three vocal tracks for this piece. The main voice (performing the stanzas) is centre panned with my chosen reverb effect to give room ambience to the voice. The repeated refrain is cut between two voices, one panned to the left and one to the right. These voices are EQ'd a bit richer than the centre voice, to give a subtly deeper sensual sound to them. The lines of the refrain switch between the left and right voices to give a back and forth or circular feeling to this section. I've done this to reinforce the idea that the question has no answer, it is simply one that continually comes back to haunt the speaker. |
