A Father returns to his home to reclaim artifacts from long ago.

The first aspect that stood out to me about this song was the awesome and unique vocal effects on the background vocals as the word “intoxicated” is being said. That was a really cool addition to the song and it fits in perfectly.

Another key aspect I want to point out is how well the instrumentals depict the mood of the song. More prominent in the verses and instrumental sections, this song can feel trippy but chill at the same time. However, that is the great thing about this song. Intoxicated individuals feel chill and the world around them is viewed as being trippy. The idea of the artist connecting the song theme with the instrumentals and mood being conveyed is pure genius and thought out well.

Lastly, I want to highlight how delectable the rhyme patterns are. The words aren’t simple rhymes, yet they are kept interesting with words such as “defenseless” and “senses” and “spinning” and living”. I appreciate the creative rhyme sequences here and they are rhymes most people would not think of putting together in a song, so this is commendable.

Overall, “Intoxicated” is an appealing song to the ear with beautiful lead vocals, interesting effects, tasteful lyrics, and it is kept original.

Tonight I am watching tutorials for vocal effects because I can’t figure out how there are artists that can take one sound loop of someone saying something like “I love banana bread” and turn it into some sort of epic melody hook that carries the whole song.

I watched the following which gave me some good ideas and taught me a bit more about how ableton works (especially looping things through the reverb column):

And this tutorial which teaches a cool technique about layering a vocal track with a deeper sounding version of it:
