No More Heroes – TheUnbornBand
A dynamic song of vocal melody and guitar effects. A rollercoaster instrumental. Inspiration for the vocals and lyrics are the vocalist accepting a diagnosis of 2 auto immune diseases. “
It starts out with a haunting tremolo guitar riff, backed by a ghostly synth and quickly shows it sound layer by layer. Written, mixed and produced by me (Dan Carrillo), this was my biggest project (most man hours).
Inspired by my battle with 2 auto immune diseases, I wanted to put my deep emotions of dealing with that into a song. Perhaps that is why it was hard to eventually let go and say goodbye to this project. Suffering in silence, or suffering unknowingly (both extremely common in auto-immune), and constantly dealing with good days and bad days was an emotion I wanted to convey, but also not directly. This song will mean different things to different people, and I’m OK with that.
The last minute of the song might even surprise you.
