Cluttered streets and
Blurs of motion
Vision dims from
Chaotic peripheral
Phase shift through endless mist
They walk around me
Displacement counterfeit
Blinded eyes see
See more than conscious lies
Fragmented
Displacement counterfeit
See more than eyes have bargained for
drag 'n drop vocal chop
There's a place inside me, I can't forget it...
The city, ticking away.
Pushed out of my own life
Cant see the ground below my eyes
Hidden by the shadowed tower
I look up yet see nothing in the sky
When will I see that its on me?
I dream but I dont act like Im free
When will I learn that its not you
I just need to shake the silence
CHORUS
Crowds, they move all around me
Reach on out, blend right in
Pretend to fight, cast it aside
Welcome yourself back to the world
Continuing my month of experimenting with various electronic genres.
This week I'm doing Eurobeat! :D
was late to compo only had 30 minutes. Waaaaay short, way underpolished.
For the paths made quiet by our friend COVID.
I got a call from my boss saying, there is an important meeting coming up, that i have to be bright and early for. I wake up to the sound of the 6am alarm, to make sure i don't fall behind. Everything's going smoothly, right until rush hour. I scramble, trying to get through the hoards of people so i can at least get to work on time, however it's inevitable. Feeling as if i have no obligation, i phone work, and say in a deep trembly voice "I'm sorry, but i'm going to be late"...
I did 2 sections each in the style of techno/trance with lots of acid elements. The key difference is the second section is super melodic and atmospheric. Had fun with this, hope you do too!
Hi there, i'm here to ruin your day lol.
OH YEAH BABY
(my dad said I could)
who would have known the world would turn into what it is? who would have known I would have had only 30 minutes to do a OHC?
Participation award entry this week.
I normally hate crowded urban scenes, but this turned out so happy and pleasant. Guess I was in a real good mood, walking through this bustling scene. But it ends on a more realistic note of being glad to shut the door on the world at the end of the day.
[verse]
Shoulder to shoulder, nudge through the gridlock
Around the corner, there goes a gift shop
A simple tourist life is a pit stop
Between the airports, hotels, a mishmosh
At every city block is a fantasy
In every door, a thing that you have to see
The bopping crowd swarms past, much humanity
You make your righteous path, it will set you free
[chorus]
One in a crowd, alone with your hopes and dreams
You stand apart, and walk forth without a team
Branching aside, a goal that belongs to you
Away from the mass, your light always shining through
[verse]
Amidst the bustle, you spot a treasure
A happy place awaits for your pleasure
It's on the other side of the people
You go along, a thread through a needle
Thanks for tuning into OHC 649. Baiiiii
