Codeko – ‘Sad Reality (feat. Casey Cook)’
“‘Sad Reality‘ is one of those songs that came together incredibly quickly – once I heard Casey Cook’s vocals I sat down with a guitar it just clicked, and a few hours later I recorded the basis for the entire song. The verse guitar harmonies create the ‘bittersweet’ I wanted, and the synth-heavy drop provides the energy. It took a bit more work to get the two elements to blend together cohesively, but the end result is a track I’m very fond of.”
