Exploring the different forms that water can take.
From bucket, to glass.
From puddle, to ocean.
From river, to rain.
H20. That's the secret to life. That's the basis of all creation. Such an elegant and simple formula.
It's primarily an ambient track first and foremost, but done in a rather experimental way. First, everything is in 3/4, including the drums. Second everything is routed to mostly 2 chords, but because of the ambiguity of the notes, it gets blurred as this thick texture. Lastly, it's more of a slow developing track, like minimalism, but without the boring stuff. The only other thing to mention, is that it's soaked in reverb. Either too much, or too little, end of the day, i was experimenting (And preying my DAW wasn't crashing lol) Hope you enjoy!
Drowning
Flooding my mind
It never stops
When you leave my spirit
Im drowning inside.
When you leave me behind
It floods my mind
I never realized until this day
That I could miss those I had never met before.
I never understood
The power of these unseen bonds
Flood, my mind
It never fades
There is a part of you
That lives inside
A part I never understood
Let me see it again.
Drowning in you
Feeling like its just begun
Drowning in you
These times are not undone
Drowning in me
My feelings spilling over the rim
Drowning in me
Im never done.
Flood, my mind
Dwell in the moisture
Flood, my mind
I need the deep
Flood, my mind
I missed you
Flood, my mind
Its so clear
[Verse]
Once there was a vast desert that spanned
Across the land, aridÂ
None dared to traverse nothing was worse
Dry like a curse hit
But there came a day when it would rain
Blessed was the parched ground
Out from under was life, reaching for light
Oh so profoundly
[Chorus]
Just one droplet can move mountains
One drip can go carve out fountains
Solutions to all problems are
One splash away
[Verse]
Grand canyons that stretch out there for miles
Are of a style, born from bodies
Of seas from the past, they didn't last
Leaving a large gap
that's a chemistry thing, right?

Been too long since I've been here. Started wanting to make something wet, specifically wet reverb, but it got a bit muddy, so I made it drier (more dry?) for a finale.
