Felt like ambient textures would work the best for this one.
Good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
Mediation's something they never tried
We're walking the line side by side
Mediation's something they never tried
Basing all of your facts on only half of the scene
Where you came from doesn't determine the dream
Overwhelming power, we give it to the crowd
Darker by the hour, dreadfully so proud
Take back the power back
Don't know who to trust
Sirens bring the hush
Discression's a must
Discression's is a must
Distorted figures all around
Fading its too quick to count
Like a sermon on the mound
Hallowed is the ground that we all walked across
They're all lashing out at the ones who so impure
Left or right? I dunno.
I’m on a mobile setup this week because I’m currently awaiting a new laptop tomorrow because my old one completely out of the blue decided to shut down on me. So I had no choice but to get a new one.
This track is essentially a GarageBand entry consisting of mostly a uptempo breakbeat style with syncopated bell and synth sounds, a thick bassline as well as a chord progression on an airy pad synth. It’s about being as gritty and cutting edge as possible but without it being too obnoxious. First time I’ve ever used a mobile to Compo from the comfort of my own home. Not used to this setup from my own house, but hey ho, this was out of my control. I kind of like this especially for a mobile entry. Enjoy!
For when you gotta be the last one standing.
i suppose
Never fit in with any of the crowds
(who am I)
Always had my head in the clouds
Being different has never been so hard
Always gotta be on my guard
(But Its Not That hard)
Pre-Chorus:
Hitori bocchi de ikiteta,
みんな waratteta, And everyone was laughing
And it always feel like it’s the first time
Nothing gets better even though I try
Pre-Chorus Translation:
I was living alone,
And everyone was laughing
Chorus:
Hitori bocchi de ikiteta,
みんな waratteta,
Dareni naruka wakanai keredo
[Kito (kitto)]
Ureshiku narerunda
(Ureshiku narerunda)
[Kitto (kitto)]
Minna isshoni waraetteta~
Chorus Translation:
I was living alone,
And everyone was laughing
I don’t know who I will become,
But I believe I can become happy
Someday, somehow
We laughed together

This project was a mess, so much more communication is necessary. Will definitely need more practice to work with 10 people at the same time.
lyrics made up kinda
