This was last week's original track - mostly written and recorded, but pushed to be finished off this week. Really wanted to have a powerful, big finish and I feel I achieved this on the most part.

A few little bits here and there to maybe work on - feeling my vocal melodies are a little stale now and my next task is to look at more adventurous vocal ideas - harmonies included.

I have often thought fade-outs to be a little lazy, but it's weirdly what I had envisioned for this track when I decided on the looping ending...   

Thanks for listening - Have a great week!

Lyrics are here:

Empty motorways

And red eye flights

Broken promises

Try as I mights

Overflowing pessimism

Always asking for permission

Awkward silences

And staring at the wall

Oh how long

Til I believe you

Oh how long

Til I deceive you

Oh How loong

Another screaming match

A makeshift bed

Got no sleep again

Need a clear head

The bottom of the glass is raised

Pour Another anyway

Silent mealtimes

Nothing to say

Oh how long

Til I believe you

Oh how long

Til I deceive you

Oh How loong

Turn the page

Rip off the band aid

Fade to black

The final chapter

no happy ever after

The way you meant to

The way we meant to

This way is meant to...

Getting more things together for new album. Found a sketch from back in 2020 (not even sure what I made it with lol), added some stuff to it. Still pretty basic.

Bought a new bass and wanted to try it out. Decided to go for very minimalistic submission this week. Took me less than an hour to put it together (also missed a work call while doing it T_T ).

I went ahead with a slow bass bringing the melody/foundation, had the guitar do the drone and have another bass through bringing another melody.

They blend in tandem as the track progresses, since they don’t have the same length.

This might be my month’s project, to focus back on the bass.

It’s chill, I like it.

I had this weird idea this week, given that nanoloop cannot use effects/plugins

1. load a sample in a channel and make a pattern

2. clone the sample channel and slightly detune it

3. push the start offset for the second channel slightly forward

this creates a phaser + delay sound

This is a collaboration between two different versions of me, spanning years - starting with lyrics my 20-year old self wrote into a black notebook and ending with freestyling by my now 35-year old self. Realizing how much quirky, dark writings I have in these old notebooks that never got a place to land, felt nice to collaborate with that earlier version of me. The song ended up somewhere I had not anticipated, but it makes sense to the overall frame of mind I am cultivating - with appreciation for life as a whole while not taking it all too seriously..

› Lyrics‹ LyricsHello there!

"Jump through the window, you'll die sooner" you told me, and I tried

I took the first best window, the one in my bedroom, and I dived

But the window was too low to the ground

And soft grass was all that I found

And I wasn't dead just yet, so

The next thing I tried, was pills bourbon and wine but it didn't work

Razors, scars, subway trains and cars, or maybe rope

But somehow nothing worked, and I gave up

And then I looked around me and saw

Hey actually, life is beautiful

And I'm glad I survived that fall

And I don't want to die after all

Then a piano fell down and smashed me

Then a piano fell down and smashed me

And I was gone

Or

Maybe not after all...

We're never gone

After it's all said and done

It's not actually done

Not even if a piano comes down and smashes you from outer space

Maybe the astronauts were playing piano or an

Alien who enjoys some music, and

It came into orbit around the earth and then the gravity

pulled it in and smashed me

Well it's a silly song, but maybe

Dark humour provides a blanket of comfort

for us weirdos

Enjoy the life you have

Or if you can't enjoy it, you know, it's ok

It's still life

It's all life, even death is life

Somehow, like the

Butterflies are my ancestors

just because I feel it's so
