Check out Extreme Vocal Institute vocal coach and Renesans' vocalist David Benites' live one take vocal playthrough for the collab track "Break Through the Surface" that Renesans released with Dal Av in September.
David has done several short playthroughs of this track in various different spaces including a bridge over the highway, outside of a Dunkin', in the car and while planking—all live takes.
"'Break Through the Surface' is about being able to pull yourself out of negative situations and the kind of feelings that come with that—like the self-doubt you feel when things get the hardest and not knowing if things are going to get better." - David Benites
"Break Through the Surface" Lyrics:
Break through the surface
Go
Break through the surface
BLEGH
I hate this place
And every word you say is fake
I’ll give you what you want
And then I’ll cut you out of my life
So nail the price tag to my head again
Throw me out for the world to see
I’ll watch you beg for mercy
When I’m done you will bow down to me
You emptied my chest and put a weight in its place
The echoes have faded
You’re too little too late
Now you will pay the price with a sacrifice
I fall
But it’s never enough
You’re a killer, liar
What do you want, ready or not
I will never be another killer, liar
What do you want, ready or not
Face to face with yourself
There’s no one left to believe in
Fuck it
Left for dead
You emptied my chest and put a weight in its place
The echoes have faded
You’re too little too late
Will I break through the surface
Or break myself again?
The echoes have faded
You’re too little too late
Break through the surface
No one lives forever
