Used lots of long pads, and some sparkly chip arps. Slow progressions, drifting through the clouds aimlessly. Peacefully.

I'm challenging myself to stream AND talk through my OHCs this month live at https://www.twitch.tv/ddrkirbyisq -- Talking through things can tend to disrupt and distract my creative process, so I'm trying to see if I can learn to sit with that and work around it.
You can catch this upload (and all of my "Making Of" videos) on my YouTube channel at this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL60CnXi9EAVEQbMlbN_KOoZMIP1gpkvzd
Above the writer's grave, a bird soared the skies. A black spot in an immaculate sky, the raven let the wind guide him towards his next destination, without any more worries. The dead can tell no more stories.
alone in the sky, never more free, and never more isolated.
Carried on the wind
Soaring
Winds carry me away
Floating
Towards the edge of day
It's our world, our land, our place to be, from above, from afar, from sea to sea.
This is a cover version of the intro theme to an RPG Maker game made by Yoobii. https://gamejolt.com/games/annventure/191705
[verse]
A warm glass of milk, that old pair of slippers
Jeans that you'll never toss out
It's like the old tv show, you know it by heart
You sing the whole theme song out loud
We take it for granted, life that is cushioned
Makes for an easy livin'
Down on the couch, we're surrounded, creatures of habit
Reaching for what we're given
[pre-chorus]
We just coast along in life
Keep our hopes inside, and sigh
Never go to take a chance
Put effort in our sights, and try
[chorus]
We could soar beyond what's familiar
We would leave our comfort then
We could fly right past what we recognize
We would leave out comfort there
[verse]
The safe and the cozy, we always reach for
All to reduce the effort
No point in changing your routine this far
into your life, when it gives you pleasure
I wanted to do, beatless, but ideas were coming through for something minimal, and atmospheric, so i needed to fill the space with beats. Another one i'm proud off
jumped in a bit late. play on words hurhur
Be wary
haven't sung in a while, that was fun!
feat jack on the EPIC solo
before we go our separate ways id
like to take some time to take stock
of the time weve spent together so far
try to keep to yourself all you want its
not gonna work for too long
just drop me off at the nearest star
the age that youre a child is wasted
imagination wild im crazy
tonight im gonna
fly to the sky
im never falling down again
lets get ourselves into position
theres no point in keeping tabs
of everything youve left behind
try to change, but theres just no changing
not too long before the relapse
unless you learn to free your mind
fly so high
far away from fear
im staying way up here
tonight
