so i guess

the rest is over now, then

another era come and gone

should've seen this coming sooner, i guess

it's time for us to move along

another city block to ponder this mess

another traffic light to mope

another downpour to disguise my distress

but i'll try my best to cope

look at the whole city moving on

seems like everybody has a place to run to

look at the whole city moving on

still i can't find a way to be without you

i'm taking the last train home

alone this time,

without you

and it's like i lost a limb

to lose my dearest friend

tell me when this hurt will ever end

you never let me speak for myself

ask a question that I dont expect to know

when did you decide what's best for me?

I know you keep me safe

but did i ask you to

to shield me from the storm

ran out of time to do a chorus!! yay compo time

Lyrics:
I CAN"T SEE
WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
IS THIS RAIN
OR IS IT TEARS I HAVE
FEAR OF A FUTURE WASHED AWAY
WALLS FALL LIKE RAIN
REVEALING EVERYTHING INSIDE OF ME
I FEEL THE PAIN
AS EVERYTHING STRUGGLES TO BREAK FREE

It's gonna be rainy and windy. You'll carry an umbrella, even though you're not sure if it's gonna be overwhelming for the poor waterproof plastic hanging over your head. Still, it has been a while since it last rained, and it was missed.

Original song and lyrics made in one hour.

Lyrics:

Falling from the sky, a liquid lullaby,

A symphony of droplets, in harmony, they fly.

A soothing gentle whisper, nature's sweet embrace,

Washing all our worries, as raindrops kiss our face.

Rain, rain, come and dance with me,

In the storm of life, we find tranquility!

Rain, rain, come and dance with me.

Just some new-age style pipes, strings, and whistles. Mimicking the cadence of rain with percussion is not as easy as I hoped.

Decided to try something atypical, started plinking on a heavily distorted key synth and ended up with something more moody and atmospheric than my usual work. Course that couldn't spare us from more eurobrass synths sneaking in...

do you know the muffin man? also! this is my 100th compo. WOOOOO

Definitely feels like there's something here. I was just getting into the groove when 60 minutes rolled around.

to think, to remember, to forget, to regret

Call me here

In the greyest night

Your smell of cheap booze hits my mind

Telling  me this news

in purple neon light

Was what I doing for you all a lie

- Hear the rain pitter patter on the glass

Slip that word that I thought was in the past

Why didn’t you open up before

I would - have - fixed it for you

Too much has gone by

Though the cold rain falls

The umbrella blocks our sky

I had a whole sorta concept for more songy stuff but I got lost in sound design. Alas!

4 Beats, 2 Images, 1 scenario involving rain.

I thought a beat-tape in a lo-fi style would be absolutely perfect, so i went in that direction. The beats are mostly hip-hop with a mix of own melodies and sampled guitars. Each beat is around a minute, totalling 5 minutes of music.

The beats themselves vary with one being bright and cheerful, one being melancholic, one being calming and slightly optimistic and the last being more serious, and perhaps a little dark. Oh well i had a lot of fun on this, hope you do too!

My old song made new.
