Brilliant flash of vapors burst
Neon night
The shadows shrink and grow and phase
Shifting light
Cruise along In this neon display
Breathe in the air feel the night fill your senses again
But after a few songs you don't need it anymore
started over like halfway through, here's the second attempt
Driving around
yeah the night is still young
driving around cause tonight
im looking for fun
looking for someone
Driving around
yeah the night is still young
driving around cause tonight
it doesn't have to be right
but baby we still got time
till the sun comes up
Made this in 30 minutes then decided to start over and do the other one.
as with acting, even the weakest of ability can be sold if you really commit to it.
I tried to make a sort of ambient retro-ish kind of track.
What's unique is that the whole thing is in 3/4 including the melody. It's not your standard groove.
I was trying so hard not to do synthwave, it felt like the most cliched thing to do....but i do like my work here, i hope you do too!
Take me on journey
Come dance with me
Dance with me
Come to me my pretties and
Dance with me, oh yeah
Bonus because I'm very late.
I did not make it as complicated as I wanted to it was hard to do.

The extinguishing sun, no longer in your eyes
With the moon shining out, you know it is your time
Make a turn 'round the corner, go and take a right
and whatever occurs, you know it was a good drive
You ascend to the highway, speed without a care
Let the air whip around you, flowing through your hair
When you sit in the zone, you could go anywhere
and whatever goes down, you know it was a good drive
[bridge]
Your foot hits floor, you're gunning fast
Don't know how much this is gonna last
and through it all, your mind at ease
A comfort, you found some peace
[verse]
At a crossroad, you see the changing yellow light
Take a risk that you might not make it through the night
But you go ahead, as the moment's hanging tight
and whatever occurs, you know it was a good drive
