This Needle

This is probably the best song I've ever made... I was going to make the standard guitar/keyboard song with Dylan, but he had to go to Hawaii and left me all alone with my computer... I threw in some google images at the last minute for some giggles :)

Lyrics:
Well I'm looking at the sky, I got something in my eye it's true.
When I look up really high it's hard to say goodbye to you.
Well I've got a lot to learn and the bridges start to burn alright.
I keep running from my past it's caught up with me at last tonight.

This needle in my skin.
Fire burning deep within.
Now I've seen the light, wish it wasn't so bright.
How did this all begin?

I was sitting on the couch with an empty white pouch beside me.
Seems like every hit I take is another step away from you.
Anything I believe is too hard to conceive so far.
This life is too hard,, why don't I take it all away?

Haha I tend to check out your website from time to time, especially when trying to figure out the layout for my own website that I hope to work on some more soon. Thanks for the shout out! You pretty much got the vocal effects right on. Lots of auto-tune and an "atmosphere" effect, which pretty much just added lots of reverb.

Second time around, still amazing. I gave you a shout out on my website, but I swear that's not a subversive way to make you look at my website. I just wanted to let you know that I felt it was that good.

Oh my fucking god you blew my fucking mind out of my fucking skull. I seriously just sat with a smile on my face like I was hypnotized for the whole thing. I'm glad you sent me the text because I have fairly limited internet here and I definitely would have missed it. Sorry I missed your B-Day by the way, but I hope it was still enjoyable. Again, seriously killer song.

For the vocals, did you just apply massive auto-tune and reverb effects or was there some vocoder in there?
