SINK OR SWIM
*(loosely inspired by CS Lewis’
The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe *

V1
Promises of summer endless
Left me lonely lost and friendless
Winter took some time to take to
We all learned to live and make do

We’re all treading water
Since you went away
Better in the winter
Ice would not give way

V2
Suddenly green leaves surround me
Weeks of change immediately
Racing to the place of reckoning
Overhearing not expecting

We’re all treading water
Since you went away
Better in the winter
Ice would not give way

We’re all treading water
Since you went away
Better in the winter
Ice would not give way

V3
Funny how a word appearing
Can give two people
The opposite feeling
Alliances are reexamined
Undermined and change demanded

Wish the vocal was catchier… I like the extra percussion/sound stuff/ear candy.

I like the drums, they have a nice big cave-dwelling sound. Mix is generally clear and atmospheric, you're creating an interesting vibe. The guitar solo is fine but I feel like it could be better integrated into the song, if some of that guitar tone came in a little earlier or carried on into the following section it would feel a little less like an isolated chunk of the song. Lyrics have a nicely mysterious feel.
