I made a very simple and minimalistic beat, that i was intending to fill in the gaps with through rap. Mostly because i didn't have a lot of time to finish the beat, and also because i needed to justify a bit of the genre. I obviously can't rap, or know any rappers so i used Text to Speech for this. It is a bit wonky in some areas, but i was juggling the lack of time. I had an hour for this compo, not 2 hours like most people have. Oh well glad you like it anyways!

Living in the skull of a giant

I was tending to my bean sprouts The day the giant fell from the sky
The earth it moved like thunder Farmyard animals made noise
But we made interesting soups then before the corpse went bad
The stench it was terrible As the body rotted in the fields

Living in the skull of a giant Staring out his evil eye
I’m living in the skull of a giant As village life passes on by as normal

Sometimes at night I am dreaming And those dreams are rather strange
I dream of stomping on tiny houses And eating human remains
The villagers think me peculiar For my choice of unusual home
But they better not cross me For the fee they’ll find is a foe

General MIDI :)

yea

I’m struggling to trace a straight line to that place

from here where i stand with my ankles in the sand

all i’m getting is resistance and an ever stretching distance

to where i thought i’d be in that fading fantasy

I’m pinning all my hopes on some magical beans

cos i’ve let go of the ropes and i’m running out of steam

so give me one last throw of that unlucky die

and make something grow to take me into the sky

I’m Fe-Fi-Fo Fumbling in the dark reaching for my own beanstalk

am i really so naive that i can still believe

that there’s something in those stories, those old allegories

that in your time of need, all it takes is a seed
