I just felt something vibrant and colourful this week, based on the way the theme was presented. I took some happy chords, added some seasonings to them, and them blended it with thick sidechained beats, a funky bassline and a lot of airy pads to give it a bit of lightness to an already groovy piece. It's cute basically. I don't know, it was what the theme was suggesting to me, have fun!

I tried to make something child-like and happy... but couldn't stick with it for all that long.

Special thanks to my wife for letting me borrow her laptop for 2HTS when I didn't bring mine :3

I didn't have access to my NES VST presets though, so I had to make a couple new ones really quick.

Experimenting with sound design. Apologies in advance.

Weirdness ensues.

I remember the crisp summer air on that night

Moths flapping around flickering candle light

The warmth of your hand when you placed it in mine

You pulled it away, too drunk at the time

It slipped out your lips on the vapor of vodka

If we're still so hopelessly lonely next summer

I'm just saying we're not getting any younger

You looked at me held yourself back and you drank

My heart hammered in my chest as I considered

Releasing the secret about how I tremble

At the shadows that flicker and glow on your face

But I hadn't drank nearly as much as you had

The crickets were drowning the space and the silence

The stars they were swirling in the distance between us

The air was too thick and my tongue was too heavy

I promise we'll say what we need to next summer

I promise we'll say what we need to next summer

I promise we'll say what we need to next summer

I promise we'll say what we need to next summer

I promise we'll say what we need to next summer
