Song #4: The Bullfighter

Distortion. Drive. And lots of it.

Keeping with the theme of dynamics, the verse feels mellow with a simple guitar, bass, vocals, and drums that are played with a cross-stick technique, giving a slightly jazzy feel. The verse slowly builds to the chorus where the song lets loose with three very driven and distorted guitars. Suddenly this quieter song doesn't feel so quiet anymore. Like the Arrival, my vocals are on the verge of yelling as I belt my lines with power and conviction. As abruptly as the chorus began, it quickly transitions back into a mellow verse. Lyrically, this song draws upon inspiration from the book The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway, a concept initiated by our bassist, Zack Doyle himself. Thus, the Bullfighter seemed like a fitting name for this but very loud, and very mellow song.
