you don't have to cover up your sound
Come a little closer,
let's leave it all dry on the ground
Your face is a little flaky,
but we don't have lotion here
You'll just have to leave everything dry...
Dry like the desert,
dry like the summer wind
Dry like your grandma's turkey
that she made a month ago
Dry like sandpaper
on a dusty wooden box
Dry like your father's humor
when he tries to crack you up
Dry...
Turn the reverb down now,
you don't have to cover up your sound
Come a little closer,
let's leave it all dry on the ground
Your face is a little flaky
but we don't have lotion here
You'll just have to leave everything dry...
Dry like this kick drum,
dry like this hi-hat
Dry like this melody right here
Dry like the desert,
dry like the summer wind
Dry like your grandma's turkey
that she made a month ago
Dry like sandpaper
on a dusty wooden box
Dry like your father's humor
when he tries to crack you up
Dry...
amy winehouse cover i couldn't finish cuz i ran out of time aaaaaa
When you handed me a towel
Endless parched lands stretch before
These ancient sands disguise their prize
Faceless, ageless wraiths of men long passed
Deter us on our way
Standing here
Amidst these forgotten sands as
Fragments of past worlds shimmer
In fragile chaos
Shouting winds
Retell the ancient tales as
Callous and brazen we march forth
To conquer what's dead
Eminem Sampled Thank You for Stan, his most famous song.
And since JH Sounds did a cover of Thank You, i had a little amusing idea to essentially make the "Eminem Version".
Hope you find it amusing JH, not intentionally trying to hurt you or anything.
Remind me to reboot my damn computer next time so I don't stare at a loading cursor half the hour and can actually finish a song jesus christ.
(imaginary lyrics)
Waking up in the morning
I make myself some coffee,
eat a toast or two with cheese
before leaving at high speed
Gotta catch that train,
gotta run to escape the rain,
gotta be on time for work,
gotta think that I'm not a dork
I'm too dry
no matter what I do I feel that
I'm too dry
cos everything I say is boring
I'm too dry
and nobody is paying attention
I'm too dry
I'm not a source of entertainment
I went for the Thanksgiving theme, because it was easier lol.
This one is kind of unique, in that we have rich jazzy chords going against distorted, almost hardstyle like drums. I don't know how to describe it, other than it's kind of cute sounding and fun. This was going to be longer, but i ended up with quite a bit of a writer's stump, so i could only get 3 minutes out of it. The theme wasn't easy to be honest lol. Hope you like it anyways!
ugh bad song
I got a computer but didn't test properly before doing compo and ran into a bunch of problems so things didn't work as expected and I ended up deleting everything and rewriting around 40 minutes in.
Parched
The boring eyes suck me dry
Vampire of thoughts
Thief of tears
Please, pass the salt, they say at ease
But saltiness remains
My seat at the table, ever too short
My tension grows
What is it that they want from me?
Why dont they ever feel my pain?
Is it them, or is it me?
Flawed, a child, as I can be.
Time, the moments that they stole from me
and gaze at me with sympathy
I do not understand their stares
I feel so lonely
