Ira Ellison’s Newest Song “Call Sign” Will Hit You Right in the Feels

Ira Ellison’s song “Call Sign” will creep under your skin from the very first notes. Listeners will feel serenity as they are hit with warm pianos and warm guitars, all paired with a soft, organic vocal. The delivery feels so tender that it will pull you into the artists’ personal story. Is this a love song, a breakup song or perhaps both? “I didn’t recognize your call sign…” The guitars shimmer with the sound of an e-bow, giving the track another touch of magic. This song is about owning up to one’s mistakes, missing someone immensely, loving them even more, and trying to bring them back in to try again. It’s a beautiful ballad with a lot of heart. “Played forgiveness like a game I could win. You didn’t recognize my call sign.”  Listen now:

The idea behind this new round of releases is to get away from my past tendencies of over-cooking or over-effecting everything, especially my vocals, overusing effects and wacky sounds etc. Im trying to simplify. Im less interested in ‘woah what effect is that there???’ And more interested in how the simplest version of something can make you feel.  I’m trying to really be honest and exposed, maybe as an exercise in embracing what I see as my own shortcomings

‘Call sign‘ has my vocals more forward and in your face than anything ive released before, and i find it to be really hard to not turn that fader down when mixing. As I’ve made music over time, I’ve started to become more cognizant of ‘am I turning my vocals down because it fits the song, or because I’m scared?’ Usually, it’s because I’m scared. So now I turn them up.
