Sometimes you just can't find the strength to go out and struggle through another day. But it's okay...everyone has times like this.

unbalanced, not final mix. Daw kept crashing. weird.
Better hurry up with this! I'm not sure how much longer I have before I get kicked out.
[Verse]
When I am caught out in the rainstorm
You will refuse to unlatch your doors
Why do you stand firm in your beliefs?
What will it take to let me in please?
When the right time to enter can go
off in an instant, no one can know
Still I am sopping wet, head to toe
You disregard it all
[Chorus]
You're never open to me when I ask you
You're not available when I'm in need
and when you are you just act like you're out of stock
Then you close back right when I leave
[Verse]
Will I return? The question beckons
Without your service, I don't reckon
Around the corner lies my answer
There's other stores after all
this'll be the year
i get myself together
made myself a pact
this time to do much better
signed in violet ink
in smudged capital letters
"be the best me you can be
in 2020" (2? already?)
delete my shopping apps
and ones with food delivery
read up on mindfulness
to keep my thoughts real steady
re-joined my old gym
can't wait to get real sweaty
"planet fitness is now
closed this week for disinfection-" already?
[chorus]
catch me on teamspeak
crying into my lean cuisine
'cause it's shapin' up to be a
new year, same me
catch me at the listening party
vaping some cbd
'cause it's shapin' up to be a
new year, same me
new year, same me
new year, same me
new year, same me
don't know who else i could be
new year, same me
new year, same me
new year, same me
what do i want to be
Finally... you get the place to yourself
i could not find any piano and autotune is annoying so accapella is good today enjoy peeps
Something i don't think you guys have heard yet is Jazz. More specifically slow jazz, with a lot of solo's present, and a funky triplet groove. It's mostly electronic sounds, because i can't replicate real jazz, but it's in the same framework. I also tried some cool rhythmical techniques in this, while the drum groove remains at an 8 bar loop. All in all i had a lot of fun on this, i hope you do too.
