Insomnia by 'echoes'
Insomnia by 'echoes' Lyrics & Chords
First original song with my band in Mumbai (ECHOES) :)
Echoes are:
Soumitra – Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Abhishek – Lead Guitars
Tapas – Bass
Erwy (temporarily) – Drums
It was damn good fun recording it (needless to say). Some 15 hours worth of studio time for a 5 minute track! Fu**ing hell!
Its an analog recording on a 8 track mixer and cost us nothing (thanks to a good friend :P)The lyrics have been written by Abhishek and the melody’s a product of abhi and my collaborative efforts. I play the intro to the song and Abhi’s done the rest of the guitars except for a short solo of mine in the middle. I hope you like it!
Lyrics
I lay awake, in these sleepness nights,
staring at a shadow o the wall,
is it me or my destiny,
is the thought that haunts my all.
I visualize a life, for which i die everyday.
Is there a god who listens, when I pray.
Insomnia, has taken me over,
has taken my peace, move out of my way.
It’s like a fight to death,
that i’m taking to bed with me.
I look at myself in a mirror,
I see a swirling ocean, yeah.
Swimming through, the currents and the storms,
I’m swimming on and on and on……
I’ve tried hard to make it,
I’ve tried hard to fake it,
I’m gonna have to make it,
through one day, yeah…….
Insomnia, has taken me over,
has taken my peace, move out of my way.
It’s like a fight to death,
that i’m taking to bed with me.
Insomnia, has taken me over,
has taken my peace, move out of my way.
It’s like a fight to death,
that i’m taking to bed with me.

The song is well structured. But i must say that the vocals should have had more energy. It falls a little flat at times. loved the way it started but i expected a little more variation in the course of the song.(continued in next comment)

specially this part: “Insomnia, has taken me over,has taken my peace, move out of my way."
Thought it came out a little flat and seemed like you hadn’t really felt the spirit of the song.
anyway thats just what i think ! Good band though, brilliant

Timing …. Timing …… u guys need a metronome ….
Drummer has to get things more accurate …… rolls r way to off
u guys really need to groove……things will fall into place by itself.
Vox have to portray more aggression
I make comments only for things that are worth it……this is a Gud composition …. u guys gotta live upto it.
