quick hardware doodle
Slowly, but surely, she'll arrive.
"I remember this room. I used to sit by the fire and play with my fire trucks. I remember thinking i was saving the day. My dad was smiling at me reading his paper. My mum was in the kitchen cooking dinner. it was paradise"
This track essentially started off as an ambient type piece, until i had a crazy idea to make a full on beat and then manipulate it, to make essentially more of an ambient type listen. The track is filtered heavily so it's mostly the mids and highs, there is a intense amount of wind and creaking sound effects, and the track itself is reverbed as if there is something playing on the radio or something. It's essentially designed to be some kind of immersive experience, put it this way. It's definately a cool idea that's worth exploring, especially so the track is balanced well with the wind effects. I kind of like it and i hope you do too. Enjoy!
the house is abandoned
it's covered with ivy
nasty oak trees and mice that are lively
gonna need to gut it
or call and excavator
pay that dude double
to cover his medical bills
i guess i, i
i need a bobcat
to start the process
call a trucking company
and ask about rentals
the process of demolition

Lyrics:
let me just stop
show me the door if you want me to knock
into the forest and into the fog
nothing would stop me to get to the top
and through window i hear her yeah she calling me
"i need a hero, where do we go" oh the irony
and all this wondering now it got me spiraling
i can the silence and its silencing
i feel it pacing I'm racing I'm
"in a rush"
i feel I'm shaking I'm breaking I've
"been too much"
so can you hear me i cry for help
"out of touch"
so can you hear me I'm not alone
"not like us"
Some weird thing.
A somber memory
A bitter leaf to turn
English ivy dances on the wall
Reclaiming the old prison once held dear
The roots devour, twisting vines beneath the floor
Let it suffer, choke that world out
I never learned to cope with the thorns I felt inside
I never learned how to live despite the fact my mind would die
The leaves, they smother all the things I learned from all those years past time
But that’s okay. I never had a chance until I left.
