Late, rushed, frantic, but up

Was tired and distracted, and didn't have enough time for some intended edits. Awkward transition in the middle as a result. Perhaps some day I shall revisit this and do it more justice.

Mostly structured around more Bad Mood experiments, but it was doing some weird stuff while I was trying to midi sync it. And lo, no time to figure out that problem either

It is life, it is.

Heavy synths on the upfront play with a number of different chord progressions. Drums come in on the end. In the future I'd like to come back to this one and redo the ending.

Inspired oddly enough by the Gottman relationship lab's concept  of  "perpetual problems" as permanent relationship dillemas to be managed. Thought it was an interesting phrase

› lyrics‹ lyricsVerse 1

I'm a problem, some might say I'm a schemer

If my life north korea then I'm Supreme leader

I got unfit wit, to me neither grass is greener

I found  c   a cheerleader, You would'nt find me a cheater

But I self sabotage, when my brain looks ahead

I wave a magic wand and now I'm upset

Then I obtain the destination, and I strive to perfect

I try to sustain the mirage, yeah hes at it again...

Pre Chorus

He's a problem

He's a problem

He's a problem

He's a problem

Chorus

Perpetual tension, habitual wreckage 

Pattern repeats, I think I need intervention

You ask how this happened, how did we get to the bottom 

It's always me I'm a perpetual problem

› idea and narrative‹ idea and narrativeWorking with the seed word "perpetual problem" inspired by the gottman concept. Want to translate it to a rap song where there's a duality between "I'm a problem" like "i'm too big, I'm dangerous, I'm potent" and "I'm the problem" like "I'm a menace and I'm the reason things decay, especially relationally"

Can’t fix it, just dress it up different 

At home, I’m the reason it’s distant

> I’m the perpetual problem 

> That’s the verdict, case closed on me

“We don’t break up, we just pause the disaster”

again, expect, defect

Crook applause mirage

I'm the perpetual problem

Everyone can see. There's noone to blame but me...

I'm not sure what this is.  I kind of Frankensteined two ideas together and just kept working until deadline.  This was really composed on both guitar and the DirtyWave M8 simultaneously.

Just a simple beat rescueing loops from 2021. Lots of delays and a super hurried bassline.

Was meaning to have vocals for this one but didn’t make it on time.

Went with hardware this time around. Vermona drm1 on drum duties, the pad is a crazy casio cz5000 patch, and the bass is my mustang played through an envelope filter. I’d like to re-do the bass eventually, I feel like it sounds a bit too thin.  Also have a guitar drenched in spring reverb doing accents for the bass line
