a solemn meditation for those affected by the devastation of hurricane ian
(kinda improvised these off the cuff; kinda got sad that my favorite internet wife guy got outed as a cheater)
can't control 'em
all these feelings i got
tried to hold them
but i got caught up
didn't mean to get destructive
but you know i know what's up, yeah
threw away what's left of us with just one kiss
seeing red, my eyes are floodin'
thinking of the things you've done and
gonna make you sorry that you had that tryst
(it's a monsoon)
and i've got no remorse
(what's left of you)
when it all runs its course?
i'll get the divorce
don't say you love me
when you broke my heart
i'll wash my hands of you
get a new start
(it's a monsoon)
and i'm saying goodbye to you
I got lost for a long time at the beginning.

Started late, uploading late
Based off a strange recent event
The storm is here. Everyone is dead, we need to leave before it takes our head. It came fast and quick, it was harder than a brick and now my people need to leave.
1,2,3 1,23, go, pound it down, pound it down. Put the floodgates up. The storm is here! Everyone is dead. We didn’t get to leave before it took our head. Our leader is gone so we'll just sing this song. Put the floodgates up.
The storm has arrived and the floodgates are up. The soldiers are out fighting with the waves. Surges of wind break down our barrier. Why can’t we win the righteous storm?

We didn’t win the final battle. The soldiers are gone. We need to sing our song. The people are dead. And the storm took our heads. And now everyone is dead.
I spent a whole hour editing this vocal because I was so nervous how bad it sounded lmao
I performed this live on Access Virus, TR-8s, and Vocals with Hapax sequencing. It's pretty rough, it's the first time I've actually tried using the Hapax for songwriting.
Pouring rain
Like the sky has claimed its lot
Covered now
It's all wet and hot
In the deep
The muddy waters flow
My best hope
To start my life anew
A mix of psychedelic like effects and powerful almost synthwave melodies and beats, it's a intense journey capturing the serious danger of flooding, alongside the powerful gush of water. I didn't want to just go for gabber or noise again, so i tried for something unique. All in all, hope you like it!
