Staring at these waves, and I'm feelin' brave
So why aren't you comin' back to me
They said I shouldn't doubt, until we work it out
But I don't know, I don't know how
Couldn't clear the air, couldn't make it fair
Couldn't get through to you but
Till then I'm just waiting on this beach
Last night I had a dream, it was just you and me
And we never saw it comin' on
Life must feel so free, for those who choose to be
Trapped in the island of their dreams
Who are we to blame, for learning to be shamed
And even though, even though I
Couldn't tell you then, couldn't tell you now
I am still waiting on this beach
Wow this is hard
partially inspired by mr. weeks himself. love you, t.
[lyrics]
you're the kind of tired sleep can't fix
and i'm so sick of watching
my cursor blink
so lets go
to the motel
on east young ave.
where we necked our first o'douls
we were young once, right?
tropicana waits
for me and you
was it really easier back then?
'cuz i had a stick up there
and you were much quieter then
let's just go
to the motel
on east young ave.
where you lost all your belt loops
you were young once, right?
tropicana waits
for me and you
but we'll go
to the motel
on east young ave
where i realized i love you
i was young once, right?
tropicana stays
for me and you
Just sticking with what I know tonight. Bad mixing, shrill sounds and all.
You feel light, as if all your worries suddenly went away with the wind. You take a deep breath, and watch the sun take a well reserved rest for the day.
My jaw dropped for this theme, the most beautiful image to grace OHC, or at least among one of them. The shadows and everything just make it.
As a result my description needed to be transcribed into music. What follows is probably my most melodic to date, with very light melodic ideas, and extremely soft DnB like beats. So soft it's almost like putting your head on a soft comfy pillow. Yeah i had so much fun with this, and yes this is one of my best, super proud of my work here, hope you have fun!
sry depressing and also off beat
it'll be good this time
to watch the sun set
don't let your mind,
wander off
it'll take you back
to all the bad places
and don't let your thoughts intrude
when you see a wreck so beautiful
all you crave in your brain
is for your hands to take me there
and you unlearn
you unlearn
how to swim,
how to breathe
how to even cope in the first place?
Pension, wonder, and just a little thrill with the day's last light on an open sea. And I used a triangle for pretty much the first time.
I actually have no idea what Jimmy Buffet sounds like
Mmm
Sun is coming down
Now it's time to
Compo
Everyone come in
Get your music on
Make your notes with me
Let's throw all our sounds together
Use that MIDI pack
Mash that that copy-paste
Find that weird preset
You know, that one you found for free
It's time to
One Hour Compo
Where the sounds are in tune buy lyrics aren't
The beats are groovin but the bass is hot
It's time to
One Hour Compo
Play with us get good at song
Use those VSTs with the money that's goner
I see the waves
rolling in the tide
this is might be goodbye
Weve all seen the news
of the waves coming in
hold me tight dont cry
Here comes the water
Our time has come
May we be together in the hereafter
Go under
Back to LMMS, didn't get FL Studio installed fast enough. Threw out my first draft after 15 minutes and rolled dice to re-write the melody.
Ya know what this song needs? More cowbell. Doesn't have any thematical significance, I just wanted more cowbell. Maybe it's a loose part of a car's undercarriage that keeps bonking off something. Woosh!
