Sorry that it's a bit long and repetitive, but I feel like it fit with what I was going for.
started way late so have all the pads
We'll never be apart again.
For the most part it's a 80s styled beat, but soaked in reverb, for a really hazy feel. I actually wanted to make Psychedelic music, and this is the closest i ended up going to. I wanted to go further, but because of time, i ended up doing this instead, so it's more semi-psych. I also opted to endlessly loop 3 chords, as an experiment in minimalism. No changes, because it wanted to try as little as possible in my approach. There is also a long-ass solo in them middle for a bit of fun, and vocal contributions from Rapper Juice WRLD (RIP), who coincidently made a song entitled Candles. I felt it was fitting to the track, and added some depth to it. I just merely stretched and pitched it. Surprisingly monotone in melody, but then after all it is rap. All in all, might not be everyone's cup of tea, but i hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
my hands are cold
so let us join them
like matchsticks
you light them up
retrieve the scars
to put on spotlight
i think i'll burn too fast
this won't last

Just Mega Man X soundfont tonight, I've been working with it a lot recently and wanted to see how I did under pressure. You be the judge. Just some upbeat, rockin' 16 bit for FIRE.
Light up the dark room
Fill up the concealed spaces
Reveal what’s in
These unholy places
Sweep with a fire broom
Rain down with flowing graces
Clean up this sin
Light these wretched faces
Strike the match
Let it burn
Strike the match
Let it burn
I played the Theremin live for this one
What do you see in fires
Joined in combusting heat
A steamy conflagoration
As the fires meet the sea
In the flame, woah woah
In your flame, woah woah
In the flame, woah woah
My halo's in you
