From the roof of your building you can appreciate the city in all its splendor.
Were getting an awful lot of city themes in these OHC's lol. I can't remember the last time i did a jungle track, but i decided to follow in that style for this one. It has a lot of calming atmospheric elements, going against smooth sub basses, and thick Jungle breaks. It's almost meant as a laid back piece, designed for you to chill out with, whilst retaining that high energy you might find in the city. I really like what i've done here, it's very smooth. Hope you enjoy!
(i miss my commute)
all PATHs lead to you baby
and from my windows every night
i can see the way you shine
is it true baby
that you're still movin' on?
oh you know it's been so long
will you wait for me?
i'm on the 163
will you wait for me?
oh, you best believe
i'm a
bridge and tunnel away
bridge and tunnel, so wait
by train or bus
you know i'll come
bridge and tunnel away
Lost too much time trying to find synth leads and the sort, so it feel underdeveloped. Oh well.
The night is young, and the possibilities are endless
Not really a successful cover, this needed more takes, and maybe I should have changed the key.
Sleepless gliding
Over the city lights
Watch us flying
Over the streets tonight
And I say
There's a way, there's a way I know
I know that someday we will surely find it
There's a way, there's a way I know
Someday, there's a way I know it
Sunday morning
Watching the city sleep
Dreams are shining
Finally they're within reach
So I meant to work in the city theme to the versed but ran out of time! enjoy
cause your the secret is out in the open
threw your clothes out in the ocean
i don't want i'm sorry from you
i don't want reconciliation
now ive got a new fixation
i'm getting even this time
yeah, cause it's like that
[Verse]
Roll past the street lights, pitch black in these nights
Lampposts are far and away
Cities lay sprawling, moon rays are falling
Surely will shine all the way
Some folk lay sleeping, others are seeking
New roads to travel and ride
Buildings are reaching, beyond their ceilings
Rooftops stand tall, to the sky
[Bridge]
Eyes are not open, for those who've chosen
Resting 'til sun would arrive
Still those who stay up, doing their favors
Sleep when the others will rise
[Verse]
Thus is the cycle, night is delightful
For some who worship the dusk
Light casts a shadow, and within that glow
Mysteries make such a fuss
Pretty obviously the first time I've tried to make music in a while.
done quickly
Get down to the street
Whereever your dreams may meet
Come on boys & girls
It’s so much fun
Hittin the pavement all night long
A quickie diddly tonighty
