MOTHER EARTH 2017 by Miracle Of Sound

Epic prog metal anthem inspired by the wonders of our planet.

LYRICS:

Mother Earth

I am the cell unfolding
I am the spread
I am the first mutation
I wove the thread

I am the crash of oceans
The crush of plates
I am the constant motion
The rush of weight

I am the voice of nature
I am the breeze
I am the dancing spirit
Between the trees

I am the pull of instinct
The primal need
I am the spark inside the
Technology

As you crash collide
I will be inside
Connect you all with love

All outside inside around you
I am everywhere you go you roam
Universal love has bound you
To eachother to my blood and my bones

Everything you know
All the variations vast
Fur and flesh and feather
We all play our part
In this glorious orchestra
We all sing together

As you crash collide
I will be inside
Connect you all with love

All outside inside around you
I am everywhere you go you roam
Universal love has bound you
To eachother to my blood and my bones

But your nature’s tried
To break your stride
Such violence in your hearts...

And the more you grow
And the more you know
The more you search astray
Look away from lies
Take it back inside
The answer’s clear as day

And every severed youth
Every rejected truth
A wound you’ll never mend
Every war you wage
Every act you stage
You pull towards the end
Towards the end

Divide
Divine

You are all a part of me
Beautiful ubiquity

Changes from the original:

1. Adjusted the snare drum & kick drum balance - the snare was previously getting lost behind all the guitars & vocals while the kick was obnoxiously clicky & loud.

2. Vocals were FAR too loud & domineering before, now they are quieter. I can't stand super loud vocals in music, though I know some people love it. I prefer them to act as another layer, another instrument in the bigger picture. Pulled them back a little and currently trying to make them float inside the song rather than stomp all over it. (I know some of you will hate this but it's how I wanted it lol)

3. Various other little tweaks & fixes, such as louder choir segments, lots of tape warmth, slightly altered drum patterns in small places, more low end note definition in the sci-fi outro segment & better backing vocal panning & EQ

Miracle of Sound : The man who gives a theme to the entire planet!!!

[gilgamesh]

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar, " every "supreme leader, " every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. All of this in this insignificant, pale blue dot"

-Carl Sagan

Can't believe this is 6 years old already. Still an amazing song!

Mother Earth sounds like Dark Souls; it is simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.

[fledglingpidgeon]

Gav, thanks for existing. You make my life better.

[Yumi-vylf]

Gavin, you've just hugged the whole world itself and humanity together. I've got no proper words to express this feeling. Thank you.

[SkyMarshallArts]

That was indeed epic. Grew up up this kind of music in Norway. This song is way up there. Quality.

[annapeintner]

Greatest. Song. Ever.
It's calm and it's rousing at the same time, it has a deep sense of sadness to it, and yet that unsmotherable hope that i think is so characteristic to our species. I can't really describe it, it tugs, at me, somehow, i am not capable enough with letters to express this. The song inspires. Helps.
Thank you.

[mikemoss]

11 minutes of pure awesomeness. Thx a lot, Gav!

[fishstickandthegamingdeck]

This song is amazing, from a musical standpoint, the way it is broken into multiple segments (as are most of your songs) but, I have always enjoyed how they transition. I always think about the rest of the song when I am listening to the end and I notice the plot. All of your songs tell a story. You are a great musician because each song is a journey. This one was no different.

[miguelcunha]

Well, this one is actually brilliant. Progressive rock is probably my favourite genre, and this might be your best song, along with dream of the sky, for me.

[DylPickleman]

Oh maaan, Gav, my favourite track from Metal Up! What a nice way to cap off the week!

[doctorquack-pot]

This man is so talented that he managed to make a theme for the entire planet. God DAMB!

[arianewilderodriguespinto]

GOSH, THAT'S AMAZING
I saw the notification and I literally cried

[hetstainne]

This. This song right here. That's true art. Thank you, Gavin.

[alexeiflagg]

I just keep coming back to this song, even 5 years later. It is still probably one of my favourite songs!

[josepholiveira]

Thanks Gavin once again for this Miracle of Sound... ALL HAIL MOTHER EARTH !

[Karliene]
