(Paranoia at its finest)
Crime of the century gold among lintery
Second guess the second the spinning ends in heat
Hidden stage, cycle plays, fitted missing feet
Did it come with plus one or independently
Can't trust the cloth to stay vibrant
Can't trust the socks to stay tied with
Their other half that was floating in the pileup
Is it nature or just a problem we've provided
High profit black market transfer with a steady inflow
Launder the goods clear the black marks, ready to go
Polyester, acrylic, the sent of missing and fitted
Awakens the senses give greatness a chance to come with it
Market the missing in action, spin petty theft into business
Resell the feet shells back to people who first found them missing
This your mind just playing tricks?
These your dry and laundered kicks?
These the times you wonder if
Maybe there's a cartel hiding in the mists
Time is hard.
Kinda turned into a jig-inspired thing at points. Guess folks will dance for laundry if they want to. Wasted maybe 15 minutes trying to find the sfx for this one.
For best results, you'll need stereo sound to hear the panning (symbolic of left and right socks). My attempts to create Eurobeat continues, with feet t0o hot to touch (the gas pedal) and probably drifting. And a violin happens, because I don't do vocals. Or violin, really, it's just a vst.
Nice and gritty.
Do you need to imagine what's been done to it?
Down come flames
Encompassing heat
Stench beyond reckoning
Dreams dissolving throughout
Clarion calls
Bringing to the end
Dreadful thoughts
Falling to ashes
Burn it all down
The cloth is bathed in sin
Let it come down
The doom cant escape from within
entirely composed from samples sourced from my washer and dryer. Turns out you get a nice reverb when you stick your head in it.
technically that means the entire signal chain was dry.
dirtydirtydirtydirtydirtydirty
i make short lil ditty
Tell me why are my socks so dirty
It's been not so long since I washed them
They're smelly and now the house smells of cheese
And I'm only half Italian... cooking pasta, spaghetti, al dente!
Dirty socks, dirty socks
You came into my life so fragrantly
Dirty socks, dirty socks
The time for laundry has finally arrived
I have found a black sock with a hole in it
It's my fear that the moths have invaded me
But I've fixed it, since I'm handy with a needle
That reminds me of a great quote: "There was a hole here, it's gone now"
Dirty socks, dirty socks
You came into my life so fragrantly
Dirty socks, dirty socks
The time for laundry has finally arrived
YES YUS YAS
(I had something stuck in my head)
I was not feeling this theme, i don't know why Dirty Socks had to be a theme lol. I tried making something funky, but...my brain wouldn't budge. So here's an old project of mine. I spent an hour on this, don't worry. Have fun!
