A new challenger approaches! I saw "plant" and "factory" and just kinda leaned hard into the industrial aesthetic. I also threw a dance groove into Ferrum with a 2:3 mambo clave.

(I'M LAAAATE)

took a lot to cultivate me

they plucked from my peers

if it truly were so easy

we'd all be here

full-length mirrors on an empty stomach

no say in what i do

scraped my knuckles scraped my throat near raw

for a chance to debut

 just to be an industry plant

just to be your industry plant

Metallic machinery.

what if there was a factory that made plants so we could just grow like unlimited food, that'd be frickin wild

Used Udio to sing lyrics I myself wrote. I didn't think it would work but it does. Vote based on the strength of the lyrics.

[Verse]

The ferns are made of steel

Apple trees that ain't real

Oranges that have lost their appeal

leaves that leave you wanting to feel

[Chorus]

This factory is full of facsimilies

Flowers and plants as stiff as a strong breeze

Gardens with a chrome-like gleam

Things are not as they seem

[Verse]

Leaves that tend to slice and dice

Chlorophyllic knives that aren't right

This garden grows plants from hell

you want to escape from here? Like HELL.

[Chorus repeat]

[Bridge]

Orchids with a razor-sharp bite

Rose thorns that define the night

Beware in this place, your demise is nigh

The owner of this place wants you to DIE.

[Chorus repeat]

It prints sharts and also poops and farts sometimes, just like us kind of sort of, and unlike us, it is a factory. Enjoy, I think probably maybe*[citation needed] No, yeah, I like it.

When you're at a party and you half-ass an entry.

"There's a plant, and another plant, and another plant, and another plant, and another plant! They just keep on coming!"

The random quote above describes my track well. It starts of with a very basic looped synth sequence, that is then doubled with a bell, it loops for the whole piece, whilst stuff is added. The drums come in turning 4/4 into a 3/4 polyrhythm, followed by the melody which is also in 4/4. The melody is interesting, as it has a common pattern repeated consistently, but one or two notes are changed everytime to keep it in a more Steve Reich phase type motion. Pad chords and synth strings also come in, alongside more drum sounds, and a tubular bell and a choir. It's all building up to something really epic. The drums are also interesting in that for a total of 12 bars, we have consistent drum changes including toms and cymbals, that is then looped, giving a live drumming feel to the whole thing. Sure it's not the most elaborate, and yes with the sheer wall of sound it can be quite intense, maybe grating, but i do like the unique idea, it was kind of fun. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

I remember back in ‘08
Went back to my place
Saw the city lights in the night

I could never forget those days
Wish I had that chance
To relive life one more time

I don’t wanna sound insecure
But my roots' rotted to the core
I don’t think I can grow now more
Time to open another door

But wait
Cuz every step is a move
I take Just keep pace
Can’t relate
It’s the same fruit but different day

Work all day
Same mistakes
But the blueprints weren’t made that way
They bought you flowers just to tell you that they miss you
But if the flower’s made of plastic What would you do?

The falling leaves drift by the window

The autumn leaves of red and gold

I see your lips, the summer kisses

The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall

Since you went away the days grow long

And soon I'll hear old winter's song

But I miss you most of all my darling

When autumn leaves start to fall
