French Bells from Common Prayers by Walter Martin
This song is based on a voice memo of me playing guitar that felt very sad and sweet to me. I usually hold onto musical ideas until they have lyrics to go with them but in this case I felt like it worked well without any lyrics. I did a ton of "ooh" vocals to try to make it sound like a boys choir, which I always think of as the most beautiful sound on earth. I was never qualified to be in a choir, but I'm trying my best (reverb helps).
