Uncompleted Sentences

I walk alleys of silence where the lamplight bends, Every echo a story that begins where it ends, Steps fall uneven, like a drunkard in prayer, But the cobbles keep secrets that dissolve in the air. There’s a woman by the river with a face like a song, She is humming to the current, it just carries her along, And the water doesn’t answer but it shimmers with time, Every ripple is a rhythm, every shimmer a rhyme. I remember, half-faded, a streetcar bell, The perfume of the market, the dust where I fell, Someone laughing, someone shouting, then the voices were gone, Only footprints and the faint fading hum of a song. Pages scatter in the wind from a book left behind, Every word half-erased, but it stays in my mind, Like a sentence that never quite learns how to close, Like a rose on the pavement that nobody chose. And the night talks back in a whisper of rain, Tap-tap on the glass like a tapping of pain, Yet it soothes, it reminds me I’m alive in the storm, That the chaos and the silence are the same kind of form. So I write what I see though I see through a haze, Every moment is a mirror in a thousand-mile maze, From the Joyce in my pen to the Dylan in tune, To the Woolf in my silence staring hard at the moon.

Hey @richardgorey, Thanks for taking the time and letting us give you some tips on 'Uncompleted Sentences'! 💥 1. Don't worry if you didn't get it first time, you can always re-record your bars! 2. Try recording when you're feeling yourself! The feel good vibes will come out in your raps! 3. Using a headset will hugely improve the recording quality here, consider giving it a try! 🎧 4. Keep experimenting with vocal effects! Sometimes less can even be more! 😲 Test different effect levels and settings to find the best balance! 5. Use denoise on your vocal to reduce the background noise on your track! 6.
