how Amaranthe writes a song (ft. Olof Mörck)

Let’s see what it takes to write a song that sounds like @AmarantheTV!
At Toontrack, November is Metal Month.

Big thanks to Olof Mörck for the guitar solo, and @AngelWolfBlack and @voicehacks Metal Mary Z for loaning me their voices for this.

Thanks for watching guys - here are the lyrics:
RUSH

v1
Understimulated jaded mind
So distracted I can’t keep time
Every day is a race that I’m running
Out on the chase and I’m looking for something

Overcomplicated waste of time
Nothing waiting at the finish line
Every day I become the horizon
It’s never enough for you

Because I can’t break through
To the part of my brain
That will satiate
All of the needs that I have
So I can elevate

Nothing I’m doing is right in the slightest
Every other day is a war I’m fighting
Living in a loop with no way out
Just gimme my fucking fix

pc
How much more can the shore of the river take
Feel the rise of the tide
til the levee breaks

c1
I want you to
Flood my brain
And give me
Everything I ever wanted
Make me believe that I can
Be made whole again

Dull my pain
I need that chemical healer
My brain is the dealer
And I can’t get enough
The world burns so we’re
Living for the rush

v2
Past the limit but I can’t rewind
Always in it can’t turn off my mind
Every day a new face I’m uncovering
Don’t wanna wait to see who I’m becoming

Every day I replace the horizon
There’s nothing that I can’t do

Until I can’t see
Through to the heart
Of the way I disintegrate
All of the flaws in the
Face I impersonate

Everything I do to unlock the deposit
Skeletons piling up in my closet
Gotta catch a break some way somehow
Just gimme my fucking fix

Pc 2
How much more can the shore of the river take
It will rise to the size

MZ: of a tidal wave

c2
Until you
Flood my brain
And give me
Everything I ever wanted
Make me believe that I can
Be made whole again

Dull my pain
I need that chemical healer
My brain is the dealer
And I can’t get enough
The world burns so we’re
Living for the rush

br
Living for the rush

Unleash the flood
Of the serotonin you owe me
I did what you asked and
It’s not gonna slow me down

I’m a hostage no more
And I’m not gonna work for you

c3

Until you
Flood my brain
And give me
Everything I ever wanted
Make me believe that I can
Be made whole again

Dull my pain
I need that chemical healer
My brain is the dealer
And I can’t get enough
The world burns so we’re
Living for the rush

We're living for the rush

[voicehacks]

Thank you so much! OMG the Olof hair 😆 I tried my best to live up to GG6 🎤 I will pretend to be Amaranthe anytime with you and Angel anytime!🤘

[AngelWolfBlack]

Thanks for kindly inviting me to join you, Trey. I had a BLAST! Loving the way you write, and such mind blowing performances by everybody 👏🔥

I L-O-V-E these "Let's write a <insert band name here> song" vids for the following reasons:
1. Tips on use of various plugins
2. Insiders look at your song writing approach
3. Collaboration w/KILLER bands/musicians
4. Creating absolute 'BANGER' songs!
Well done everyone!!

[daveprimmett]

As somebody who is a big fan of Amaranthe myself, you just nailed their style. Those guest Vocalists were awesome and fit perfectly too!

[AlexRooneyComposer]

Literally never listened to Ameranthe in my life, but this makes me wanna go listen to their entire discography in one sitting.

[Zook]

Herman Li and Elize might actually react to this. It was unmistakably Amaranthe, and not a bad song at all. Great job.

[JonYadonJr]

Coming from a HUGE Amaranthe fan, that was So stoked that y'all did that! :-)

[hellm]

Can we make a 'please put this on spotify' petition???

[BleuRoseDesigns]

This kicks ass!! I feel all fired up after listening to it! Your vocalists were absolutely amazing!

[Czibi]

I need this song on Spotify so I can listen to it on repeat

[micwalt]

Jesus, man! That's spot on! Love it.

[yungvirticus]

I'm going to make a prediction that you are going to BLOW THE F*CK UP in 2022. Keep going!

[Gaelginzu]

impressive! such an amount of work here

[PeterCleff]

Great video. Made me immediately go check out the band. I bloody love the chorus on this!

[erikarko]

Holy Shit, that song turned out GREAT!!

[Mrvegas]

Damn dude..you nailed it. This is an Amaranthe song through and through. 10/10

[COMICSCOFFEEMETAL]

Amaranthe is a band I am constantly suggesting to convert people to Metal. Absolutely love them.

[CreativeMindsAudio]

Damn soooo good! You nail all these bands so freaking well it's great!
