      I'm not sure that I have ever seen an original artist compliment a cover artist on their song. This shows how cool you really are - both Spiritbox and Victor Borba.

      Victor or Johnny should be a new lead singer for your band! Whenever Courtney retires, Victor and or Johnny can fill the shoes for her. Victor and Johnny can scream and growl better! Who do you pick? Victor Borba or Johnny Ciardullo? Take your time on one of them. Don't rush.

    Lyrics to sing-along-to:
    I say my blessings all for you
    I feel it fade from the inside
    I open up to adore you but everything
    Was just a crutch to preserve life
    Serotonin like a loaded gun
    I am a coward, you pull me up
    Into a place where there's nothing that left for me
    But insecurity
    And if I lose myself
    Blessed be, I could survive in these chemicals for you
    A lonely fool above
    Just out of reach
    I could survive in these chemicals only for you
    I say my blessings all for you
    You say blessed be the fool who
    Plucks out the eyes just to listen in frequency
    It's just a crutch to ignore you
    Serotonin like a loaded gun
    I am a coward, you pull me up
    Into a place where there's nothing that left for me
    But insecurity
    And if I lose myself
    Blessed be, I could survive in these chemicals for you
    A lonely fool above
    Just out of reach
    I could survive in these chemicals for you
    Entombed to die
    In catacombs of restless bones
    Consumed alive
    This is my home, I'm waiting here for you
    I say these blessings all for you
    Offer me
    I have the heart of a coward
    Offer me
    I have the heart of a coward
    So open up my sternum
    The only constant is a crutch
    The only blessing that I know
    And if I lose myself
    Blessed be, I could survive in these chemicals for you
    A lonely fool above
    Just out of reach
    I could survive in these chemicals for you
    Entombed to die
    In catacombs of restless bones
    Consumed alive
    This is my home, I'm waiting here for you

    Your fry screams in mixed voice sound fantastic and imo you're the best sounding fry screamer if we preclude Spencer from the game. Did you figure it out by accident? Or it took you a lot of trial and error?

    • @VictorBorbaMusic
      @VictorBorbaMusic  Před 4 lety +22

      Thanks so much that means a lot!! I did in fact find it by accident! In general one of the most important things when you are developping a skill is to not be totally by the book. A lot of things I got better at was just by trying things out and seeing if they sounded good or not. This particular scream was a complete accident I discovered halfway through recording my prayer position cover back in 2017, and its pretty much all i've been doing ever since.
