(this is literally the first time i've messed around with an 808 kick)
i'm just a temporary high
a rung you stepped on on your climb
i'm just a temporary high
that you placated with lies
you got to where you need to
you got your brand new life
you took all that i gave you
and you twisted the knife
i'm just a temporary high
a rung you stepped on on your climb
i'm just a temporary high
you always love it when i cry
Now if only i was transported back into the late 80's, people in the UK would go wild for this lol.
It's essentially acid house (Although a bit faster than normal, like 10 bpm faster). 808 drum licks followed by an automated 303 vst. ABL. Now at first it was just that, and it sounded super nice and retro, but also very boring to some, so i bridged the gap by including some chords played on a mallet and arp style, as well as one shot vocals to give it a bit of a vocal boost. It's as close to the 80's acid house sound as you'll get, without using any of the hardware. It's all 808 drum samples and a 303 VST. It's not technical by any means, but i mean this music was made to be simple, after all back then, programming this shit was much harder than the privilege i have now, of using FL Studio. All in all i had a lot of fun on this, it's nice to make something different for a change. Enjoy!
no lyrics. no time
This song has been stuck in my head, so let's remake it badly tonight...
Bloomsday by Samantha Crain
Hey, everything must always start again
That's how it goes my little Mickey Finn
They rob you and they kick you when you're out like a light
I know it's happening
And everybody's wondering where their little light is
And everybody's wondering where their little light is
Give me something, Bloomsday's coming
Open up the doors and have a goddamn beer
Ring the baker, the butcher, the charioteer
The palm readers in Salem, the engineer
And everybody's wondering where their little light is
And everybody's wondering where their little light is
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
So are you a socialite, do you buy candles to pricey now to light?
Or are you an Okie from Okmulgee just making due with wax and pride?
And everybody's wondering where their little light is
And everybody's wondering where their little light is
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
reject rhythm. embrace eternity.
