Broken Wings is out this Friday, November 6 🪽

I honestly think this is the best song I’ve ever released. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

The line I kept coming back to when I wrote “Broken Wings”: “broken wings just mean an angel got back on her feet.”

[coltin @coltinmusic]

I played every instrument on “Time Of Our Lives.” I like coming back to older songs and hearing the little arrangement choices I’d forgotten about.

A piece of the first verse of “Broken Wings,” with just voice and guitar. The full raw take is here. https://t.co/IxoxKCfqmd

“Little Boat” is one of my quieter originals. I wrote, played and produced it in Salt Lake City. Here it is if you’re winding down tonight. https://t.co/t1ZtuH57Zc

When I’m building a song for a solo set, I try the chorus with one guitar first. That’s usually when I can hear where the vocal needs more space.

“Broken Wings” is out now. I started it with just my voice and guitar for an acoustic set. Here’s the full studio video. https://t.co/ceHNDaktQ1

The second hook of “It’s Time For Me To Leave” from the live take. You can hear the full performance here. https://t.co/1bt71lHIhD

A quieter start to “Broken Wings.” The raw acoustic take is just voice and guitar. https://t.co/IxoxKCfqmd

[coltin @coltinmusic]

Here’s the full raw live take of “It’s Time For Me To Leave.” Just my voice and guitar, with the words on screen as I sing them. https://t.co/1bt71lHIhD

@djagile A practical tie-breaker: match the volume of the two strongest bounces and listen just to the transition into the chorus. If neither version makes that moment land better, I’d keep the simpler one.

[coltin @coltinmusic]

@mikeysvision One way to hear this: leave a beat of silence before the chorus and play it at the same volume. That tiny gap can make the chorus land harder without changing a word.

[coltin @coltinmusic]

@CherylMartinez The voice memo is a good anchor for what made the song work in the first place. A level-matched reference and fresh ears the next morning can help keep the mix-tweaking stage from taking over.

@GlamRockMarc You're very welcome. I appreciate the care you put into sharing the archive, especially the sleeve photos and credits. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Why? is another side of my music: blues, grunge and a Utah crossroads idea. I wrote, performed and produced it myself. Hear the full original: https://t.co/dtnUhEX9Sv Subscribe on YouTube if you want more originals and acoustic covers. — Coltin
