A slow pop song about someone being sick and fighting his way back into life...
daRem: Painting with sounds and experimenting with styles
daRem is a project that somehow evolved out my real life profession. I am working as creative director for an international advertising agency. I deal with words and visuals throughout the day, and when I come home, I have to do something different, yet creative. This is why I compose and play music. Most of the pieces are short ideas, but some of them I take a step further and shape them into songs. These songs are what I will release under the name of daRem.
Story behind the song
This song reflects my feelings in the hospital, when I lost a lot of blood, but held on to life by walking the corridors of the hospital for endless hours, in a condition where I was constantly close to fainting...
Lyrics
Earth cracks under my feet as I walk along,
but I carry on.
Heaven's breaking over my head as I walk along,
but I carry on.
It's downwards, it's outwards, it's leading nowhere, baby,
the bill for what I've spent.
it's slowing, it's weakening, but it is natural, maybe
it's coming to the end and
People fall wherever I go as I walk along,
but I carry on.
corridors are filled with grief, as I walk along,
but I carry on.
Heart is beating like a drum.
Head is spinning like a galaxy that fell to madness.
I'm a shadow of my past, but I'm still moving
step by step to what what is now, and now is never
What was didn't exist as I walk along,
but I carry on.
What comes is hidden in mist as I walk along,
but I carry on.
It's downwards, it's outwards, it's leading nowhere, baby,
the bill for what I've spent.
it's slowing, it's weakening, but it is natural, maybe
it's coming to the end and
Earth cracks under my feet as I walk along,
but I carry on.
Heaven's breaking over my head as I walk along,
but I carry on.
Heart is beating like a drum.
Head is spinning like a galaxy that fell to madness.
I'm a shadow of my past, but I'm still moving
step by step to what what is now, and now is never
But I'm still moving...
