Tempest [Jason's Song]
These aren't my words, they're just my feelings.
There are no sounds that I can hear.
There are no forms for me can touch.
There are no colours that I can see.
The only sound is distant thunder.
A tempest rages so far away from me.
I walked for miles and started running
Towards the sound and storm, where you might find me.
Towards the sound and storm, where you might find me.
I ran until I had the feeling
that the Tempest I had heard surrounded me.
And here my heart, so filled with loving
Cried out and told the wonder that you are.
I tell myself, I keep repeating
That your ways are bringing you to me.
And I tell myself, though nothing changes,
That your ways are bringing you to me.
And I tell myself, through tears of anguish
That your ways are bringing you to me,
That I will find my true salvation,
That these ways of mine are bringing you to me.
Here lies my heart so filled with loving
Crying out the wonders that I've felt.
Here I will find my true salvation
That my ways are bringing you to me.
And I tell myself, I keep repeating
That these ways of mine are bringing you to me.

A cover of a song by VNV Nation, A) Because they're
totally awesome, and B) Because I'm a loser and I
didn't want to bother writing a vocal track to any
of my other songs. ;P
A song for myself. Seems kind of silly, doesn't it?
Listen to Wonderland West 6:27 [Mindy's Song Instrumental]
to get the basic idea of who I'm singing to... Mushy,
I know... But I can't help it.
I apologize for the poor quality of the vocal part -
the original 18MB size didn't exactly fit MODPlug's
5MB limit. :P Voice effects were done via Screenblast
ACID 2.0. I prefer MODPlug Tracker. :)
Listen to VNV Nation. They're really great.

This is a good tune that could use a bit more work in places. The vocals sound good, but (as the artist mentions in the comments) they're lo-fi because of the size limitations. Some of the effects are really too loud; the repeating, high-pitched sample that provides the chords and overall movement for the song really gets old. It could use some dynamics, and overall could be softer. The environmental effects sound good, but they too could be better with more dynamic control. The drums, when they enter, are good; but they might have too much of a filter on them; and they could stand to be a bit louder. For a cover, it is done pretty well, though I've never heard the original song. Technically, this tune is pretty basic. The tracking is good, but could use a lot more effects work, to provide all that dynamic control I was talking about. The samples are all okay, but there's not much need for two wind samples (they are the same, but have different panning values) -- you can do that with two instruments that use the same sample. The drums, as it turns out, are sampled with the filtering already in place... The tune might sound even better with cleaner drums. The vocal samples all sound good, but the last one might have a bit too much effects on it. The envelopes used for the instruments are all pretty good, and seem to have been thoughtfully placed. Overall, this is a good cover, but it could stand to have some more work.
