about

This is the remixed/remastered version of my doom metal monstrosity, "Limerence," originally released in October 2023. The problem with the original mix was that I couldn't get away from it. I spent a lot of time on it. Too much, really. Without a break or much time to let it sit, I got used to how that mix sounded. I was aiming for a "grey" sound. The end result was okay when cranked loudly, but at regular volumes it was downright terrible... Too much bass, muddy, too much treble cut from the guitars, strange EQ on the reverb and some vocals, and the song simply wasn't loud enough. Well, this is a song I'm proud of. The mix bothered me so much that I made a personal remix of it for my own listening. I'd like to thank Dan Miller for his consulting wisdom, which saved this track.

The contents of the song itself have been absolutely untouched. So what's been done to it? The bass is lower, the snare drum is a touch higher, the guitars are panned harder left and right, there are proper EQ cuts in the right places, more treble in the guitars, tasteful saturation all over the place, and an increased overall volume without going overboard. Now this baby fucking roars. This is one of my favorite songs I've ever done, and I feel it deserves a second life. So, I present to you the ultimate version of "Limerence." Enjoy!!

lyrics

LYRICS:

(DESIRE):
The door creaks quiet
What's on the other side?
Not sure I like what I find
The beginning of limerence
Everything comes in waves

A void inside, looking for hope again
So much to gain that can't quite be grasped
A melding of energy, souls split down the center
Memories of you are pictures that might exist
Trading bones and blood for some great reward
Looking for light in this cold, uncaring world

"I can be the vast ocean,
I can be the stars,
I can be the world."

Starving for this version of you
Crumbs of love won't fill my stomach
But it's warmth that exists only in my mind
Chasing a ghost, something I can't ever have
Haunted by all that could have been
And torn by what can not be

Wanting more than I can get leads me nowhere
These things unresolved trap with limerence
Can I break free? Can I stop feeding the monster?
These things unresolved trap with limerence

(REALITY):
Built to be something you're not
I sit alone and consider the thought
I made you what I wanted in my life

Everything I think of you are lies
With too much sunk in to cut all ties
I can't swing the knife
