Just cooling off for a bit

This week's topic was wearning for happiness thats just out of reach when there’s a world to appreciate right at home. Wanted to apply a lofi aesthetic and use a lyrical metaphor of tuning into radio signals

› lyrics‹ lyrics [VERSE]

I tried to find peace but the signal was fickle

The grass is always green on a digital screen

Can’t sleep through the static my brain just tunes in

Can’t win, when the crackle turns into a scream

Caught in-between, the visible part of the maze

And everything I crave thats outside of my gaze

Just out of reach and never as good as it seems

Too late to see we’re slaves to pursuit of a dream?

[CHORUS]

I said... testing 123. Calling all stations

I am trapped in this routine

No reply from ground control

Situation's looking bleak

Is it time to leave it all behind?

Cause there's no one left but me

There's no one left but me

My goal is to write better lyrics this year so I've been following the process and frameworks from Writing Better Lyrics by Pat Pattison.

› idea and narrative‹ idea and narrativeJust random notes: Twisting the knob for a feeling

Static, stations, feedback, broadcast, antenna

Is anybody out there? Do you receive? Come in, standing by, requesting coordinates, all stations, on this channel, over, radio check, testing 1212, wires

› object writing‹ object writingNot really object writing this week but I dumped this: Sitting with discontent. It comes in moments where I get a glimpse of a better possibility. On social media when I see others traveling. Hiking mountains, surfing real waves. Felt strongly on the couch. Also while traveling to anywhere. Even a visit to an unremarkable place is colored with the question “should I move here? Would I be better off?” The grass always seems greener

There’s a whole world inside the piano keyboard in my apartment, or the codebase downloaded to my projects folder. Endless time could be spent fruitfully there. Instead its spread thing attempting to satiate every desire, making it more difficult to truly satiate any one.

It comes in moments that make you question the connections you have. It comes in moments of emotional turmoil. It’s easier to silence the noise with a flood of new or intense stimulation than by revisiting the same old piano or looking out the same old window. Instead of appreciating and leaning into the moment, it means constantly seeing flaws in it and asking “how could this be better?”

The feeling is a stress and tension. Wanting to be somewhere that requires great effort to get to. Cortisol. Heartbeat spike. A tug-of-war. A yearning. Noise in the background.

Feel free to roast so I can get better

Well, that's a first!

I think that was the first time we've tried incorporating lyrics into our jams :3

I've had in mind delving into the songwriting at some point. But I wasn't doing much homework on my weeklybeats lately, unfortunately.

However on our today's jam since I was thinking of trying that for a while - I quickly scratched the lyrics and presented them to the guys, Adam, who is on vocals and bass here - turned them into vocals and we recorded a few takes on an iphone.

Attempting to "master" the recording was fun X)

Pretty satisfied with the result, though I think that the amount of DSP on a recording and my attempts to make instruments clear via multiband compression gaslight me a bit, at some point the guitar sounds as if it has chorus engaged, which I'm pretty sure wasn't the case :D

I've had it easy

For long

Went with the wind

Turned out a fraud

I don't belong, don't bother

--

What should I say

How has it been?

I've never seen

And I forgotten

Days have been heavy

So bored

Cold lights don't blink

Don't be so loud

We're all tag along, doesn't matter

This song is for my mom. I know that she likes the band "cigarettes after sex". So I wrote this song in the style of them for her :)

Lyrics:

Manchmal wünsch ich mir die alten Zeiten wieder her

Satte Farben überall, mein Herz war vielleicht halb so schwer

Dann und wann sehe ich kein Licht

Weil die Welt um mich zusammen bricht

Doch immer wenn es so weit ist, weiß ich, ich habe dich

Manchmal frag ich mich wie du das alles schaffst

Weiter durchziehst, dich egal was ist zusammenraffst

Ohne dich ist es einfach schwer

Mir vorzustellen was sonst gewesen wär

Denn ohne das Geschenk von dir wäre ich nicht hier

Ich will nur eins, dass du nicht vergisst

dass all das für dich selbstverständlich ist

Aber nicht für mich

Diese Zeilen werden dir nicht gerecht (4x)

Lyrics translation:

Sometimes I wish I could bring back the old days

Rich colors everywhere, my heart was maybe half as heavy

Every now and then I see no light

Because the world around me is falling apart

But whenever that happens, I know I have you

Sometimes I wonder how you manage it all

Keep going, pull yourself together no matter what

Without you, it’s just hard

To imagine what else might have been

Because without the gift you gave me, I wouldn’t be here

I only want one thing: that you don’t forget

That all of this is a given for you

But not for me

These lines don’t do you justice (4x)

Here is a speedtrash on organ. I spent this week working on getting a good sound on the new organ, but I didn't get there quite yet. I want it to be fatter in the high octaves. I'll figure it out. Didn't have much time for composing this week but I did make a Mr Woofmantic song and I played at an open mic as well as a mini gig today - improvised acoustic piano music for contemporary dancers. Besides working my regular job which is in videogames, and we had a great week with sunny weather... life is good!

I was honestly stuck for this entire week until just after midnight today. I didn't have much time to polish this track up, but I think it's quite "icy" speed treasure.

Let me know what you think down below! Doesn't have to be just love, it can be constructive criticism as well.

Thank you for listening!

Busy week, so I did this quick one in a previous project file. Not my favorite , I find it a bit depressing / lethargic , but it's a track. Will need to make more time for this as it gets nice out and things get busier. Hope you are all doing well!
