Atomic Winter

from Those Days (Full Album) by Espen Kraft

/

about

My homage to A-ha, Alphaville and those icey synth-pop acts of 1984-1985.
Open landscapes and transparent instrumentation.
The track was originally very different in tone although the drums is pretty much the same. Was written for a tv reality show I participated in and where I also performed the track with my vintage synth-rig. Re-arranged the track for the album and wrote nre lyrics and recorded the vocals again. Originally all vocals was vocoded.

Synths used on the track is: Yamaha TX802 for bass and other FM sounds. Additional synths is Roland Alpha Juno 2 and Juno 6.
Drums is the Roland Tr-626 and R-8. Overdubbed with some Simmons toms and some claps off the EMU ESI4000 sampler.

Vocals are recorded with the AKG D5 dynamic mic.

lyrics

Winter's calling me away
Like the roses from that day you went away
Like a melody that's fading, you're fading from me now
Like a river running dry

Winter's pulling me way
Like a melody from you
I wish I only knew
Winter's pulling me away from you

There's a reason why
I'm away now
I must go to find the way back to you my love
Like a melody that's playing, it's playing for me now
All the whispers in the world

Winter's pulling me way
Like a melody from you
I wish I only knew
Winter's pulling me away from you

Like a melody from you
The winter's gone away, away
Winter's pulling me away...
