Song about feeling like you're being "pulled" into love and not knowing how to deal with it. OOOOooo Scary!


"Into Your Mystery"
(Music Martin Hayden Words Brendalee Jackson)

INTO YOUR MYSTERY
Music Martin Hayden
Lyrics Brendalee Jackson

You left my heart open to the sea
Waves came crashing down on me
Pulling me in, into your mystery
I can see the shore, drifting away

(Chorus)
I can feel your love pulling me
As I drift out into your sea, I'm falling
Deeper into your Mystery

A sea of love surrounds our every move
My emotions are running high
I touch your face and your skin so smooth
A salty teardrop in my eye

(Chorus)
Well I can feel your love pulling me
As I drft out, you'll see I'm falling
Deeper into your mystery
Yeah I'm falling in

Repeat
Deeper into your mystery

(©Martin Hayden)

Accel--Hey man. A little bit of a change up here. I like it. But I'm a ballad type guy so I may be baised.

I heard the rocker "dude" coming out on the last chorus and you pulled him back. [Linked Image]

Well I like your style. The vocal was very good, also. I enjoyed it. terribob

Like it, sets a mood, I think you use the word sea too much though.

Yeah a real retro feel through the verses...then a little rock out on the chorus...real cool...but the vocals kinda dropped way back in the later chorus...might just be a production thang. tom

Hey, Accel -

The kind of piece you can just sit back and drift away to. Great work as usual. In mid-song you started singing with a lot of feeling for a couple of lines and then inexplicably dropped down which felt a bit anti-climactic, but didn't ruin the tune or anything. I truly enjoyed it.

Man,,,I think Sub would like this too. Good production, (tasty guitar accents). Like the organ for this too. Would like to hear the Leslie speed up strong at some points for even more effect. But cool as is.

Yeah, the vocals at the end could be up more.

Wow! That end! Blap! No rt sure if it works for me. That's a mystery!

Very cool, Martin!

Nice one-great feel-hook--nice Leslie--diggin it-
luv the vocal approach-gets tense at the right
spots!!!

One thing----I would mix just a 'tad' more dry voice up--maybe then bting the voc down
in the quiet vs 1 db[somethin' like that]!

Drums sound great to--real bass- great playin all around.

Hey Dude,

Great job on this one... The music was really smooth and everything had it's place perfectly.
Man you really change your voice around.. Great Job very classy sounding to..
The lyric and sentiment were a bit to soft for me and I am a big softie.. They just didn't strike a chord and they were to repetitious in nature..

Everything else was slammin!

Great Work Accel!

Peace
Sub


Thanks!

Real nice production. Guitars sound great. All the parts fit together well. Nice tune. My only nit is the sound of the lead vox. Sounds like an SM57 into a low budget Preamp with cheap effects?? Doesn't do the vocal performance justice (IMO). Could just be the mix.

Coming from a consummate ballad enthusiast that is a real compliment!

Yeah I let the “rocker dude” out for a stroll but put him on a very short leash, you are right.

Thanks again for the “comps’ Terribob, they mean a lot to me!

Hey Accel:

Very nice tune. Love the melody, particularly in the chorus, and the delivery.

Thought the lyrical hook was excellent. Rest of the lyric wasn't as striking as your usual stuff - but I reckon you have to shift gears now and then.

For nice, easy listening it worked just fine.

Hey Tom

I find that any tune these days that have a Hammond sound or an attack delay swell on the guitar automatically sounds retro! What choo gonna doo?I dunno!

I think it would be a real challenge to get these elements to sound avant-garde! It may just happen one fine day under the right conditions.

I’ll have to listen to that “production thang” with the vocals in the later chorus. There are a lot of thangs we inadvertently forget, overlook, sidestep, fail to notice, ignore, disregard etc.

Thanks for the listen and your perspective Tom

Hey Clint

You’ve been sitting back and drifting away a lot lately! It wouldn’t have anything to do with that long trip you took as of late?

Hey a little convalescing goes a long long long long very long way!

I’m glad you liked it and I value your feedback as usual. This tune is one of those tunes that present itself to you and you find yourself just going with it and not stopping to take many notes.

So I didn’t really question the creative process on this one.

Thanks for listening Clint

Accel,

Retro as in 50's style songs about love and the sea. Not the Hammond....don't loose the guit swells and the Hammonds! Besides I love a retro feel that breaks out into a rocker...Besides that I like a retro feel...

all the best, tom

Hey John D.

I’m very pleased that you liked the production as well as the guitar delay swells. As far as the Leslie I was just getting a feel for the new board at the time I recorded this one so now I always approach the Leslie speeds with more attention. Thanks for noticing!

I’m tending to lean toward the vocals being up at the end a little more. It’s great to have a few sets of trained ears on your side!

I fine I either go all out for an ending or I just end it and in this case I just ended it. I feel if I went all out it would probably become a much longer song than originally intended. But I think you’ve really got me thinking about the challenge of ending a song differently and tastefully without going overboard on the time thang.

Thank you so much for opening those doors for me, as I know it will only improve my songwriting.

Martin,
Your graphics are great.

Very ambitious song, musically, melodically and arrangement wise too.

I like the blends of instruments that you use here. The Keyboars really elevate your work.

Mostly, I like how you tease with your hook. You don't overdo it. And make the listeners want to hear it again.

Good work,
tom

I’m diggin the dry voice suggestion, as it would be more up close and personal.

Thanks for the listen, the comps and the knowledgeable suggestion!

Hey Sub,

I’m glad you aproooove the smoooooth grooooove!

The lyrics were written by another lyricist and were a little “mushy” but I did with them what I could.

I love working with other lyricists as it constantly take me in different musical directions.

I always look forward to your ideas and acknowledgments as they are insightful and hold water.

HeyJay,

Thanks for the positive comps coming from a formative talent such as yourself!

As for the technical side of the vocals, which was done about two years ago, I was using a shure 58 into a Behringer into a 2496 M Audio sound card. But I was also at the time “experimenting with Antares Microphone Modeler software with the settings set for the Neuman U 87 Gold.

I have a much better mic now so I don’t find ,myself using that software much anymore.

Thanks for noticing and taking the time to comment Jay!

Hey Somefellow,

Thanks, for the kind words and the especially about the hook tease. I don’t usually like to repeat the hook over and over unless there is something changing in the music to support the repetition. Or unless the lyric is soooo strong that it not only stands on its own but is literally “amplified” in its meaning every time it is repeated, not the case here. Those gems come along every now and then, mostly then!

I’m glad you caught that! and thanks again for taking the time to really listen Tom!

Hey Accel,
Very enjoyable production here! Although my prom days are LONG past [Linked Image] this would have been a great song to "slow dance" to. [Linked Image]
Really like the understated organ solo, and the laughter!
Very nice work dude!

Hey Ed,

It’s a good feeling to know that someone else who’s productions I admire enjoyed one of mine!

You picked out a couple of elements that I enjoyed doing and that I thought gave the song a little something extra.

Thanks for noticing and reminding me Ed. It makes it all worthwhile!

Hey Ed,

Thanks for visiting my site and for the “cool graphics” compliment.

I tend to view it all and approach everything from the perspective of an artist.

The CD packaging, the posters, the website, the music, writing, performing, its all art and we are the artists.

It’s like Kung Fu, which means highest attainment. One who is immersed in Kung Fu spends ones life refining many areas of that life to make it full i.e., philosophy, science, music, art, martial arts, cooking, academics, etc.

Please excuse me for ranting.

Just making a small point.

Thanks again Ed.

Not at all, my friend.
It's no small point to say that one is striving for the highest attainment in life, nor to affirm that artistry, creativity, are noble pursuits. If we can better ourselves, perhaps then we can make a better world.
Keep up your good work.

Peace, Ed

Boy Howdy Accel!

Good tune.

Definitely retro.

You know how to build it.

It reminds me a bit, and I mean just a little bit, of a slower J Geils type tune.

I kept wanting to hear those incredible layered ELO type harmonies too.

Here's my unsolicited ear talking.

What Jay and Findlay said about the sound of the vocals is accurate. Very good voice, needs a little retuning on how you laid the track. Upfront and a little too clean and isolated is all I can use describe it. Needs a little of that Tommy James re verb that smooths out those cool pipes you have. Don't think I didn't notice the Cool guitar work. Very nice sounds.

This may or may not help but I am telling you what I did and didn't hear.

Into, there really wasn't one. No chance to set up your groove., Bamm! here's the vocals. Ending same story. Its different, just not conducive to the other seductive elements of the tune.

Also, whatever you did to reach into the smoothness bag of you singing the multi-layered harmonies at the end, is exactly what the song needs at the beginning.

The end is convincing, the beginning is just good, and that ain't bad.


Blessings,

Johnboy

Hey Johnboy,

Thank you for taking the time to really listen to my little song.

You seem to have a genuine grasp of music and are very helpful in your commentary.

I once saw J. Geils twice in one week at two massive venues, one in Toronto and one in upstate New York. I am not familiar with their slower tune however I am a consummate ELO fanatic.

About the vocals, I can’t remember if I used reverb or not. If I did it would be very minimal just to “brighten” the sound. I find too much reverb make the recording sound like it’s from Middle Ages. Just one mans opinion.

About the intro and the ending, I totally agree with building both as the song is pretty short time wise and it allows for that. Very good point!

Your suggestion about taking then end harmonies and introducing the song with them is something that I would normally think of but in this case I did not and I’m glad you did as it would set the song up nicely and wrap it up just as well or even better.

The treatment I used for the harmonies is a "vocal exciter". i find this feature takes out certain tones and makes the vocals sound more cohesive.

Your suggestions are well thought out and have helped me immeasurably!

Thanks for dropping by and lending me your talents!
