The Hum (instrumental) by willcady
This track is the instrumental version of one of my most recent songs that I am working on. The song is called ‘The Hum’ and it is about that deepest, most central part of who we are that cannot be described. The lyrics:
Every day he wakes up and he fights,
trying to control his world
But all of his tricks just fail.
As he builds a past, his mirror asks
Who are you right now?
He never knows…
just stares into his eyes until he
hears it in him, breathing through him
The Hum that calls him back
‘What are you fighting for?
Who are you living for?’
(Hmmmmmmmmmm)
The girl she waits until her moment’s right
Then she’s gonna start her life
She never seems to find the time
As the nights go past, her pillow asks
Who are you right now?
She never knows…
Just stares into the night until she
Hears it in her, breathing through her
The Hum that calls her back
‘What are you waiting for?
Who are you living for?’
(Hmmmmmmmmmm)
I use this track to practice my vocals and to write melodies with as I drive to and from work. I’m not sure if the idea to do this came from my own mind or if I read it somewhere, but it’s nothing short of miraculous in that it seems to create practice time out of thin air. The privacy of a car is so definite when you cruising down the highway at 80 mph. It seems like a good idea to use that privacy for something other than picking my nose.
