BPM should be 120.
Key should be "E" -ish
Fast work, but I haven't made anything in a long time.
I had thirty minutes tonight. Took an old drum beat of mine and reversed it. Added some guitar swells and mellotron and vocals. Pretty simple stuff. Pretty wide open.
Please add to it: flac coffeesp00ns T-Dog, rezzeJ, ghostoffuffle, lil randomuser, steve
"If this is living, I'm doing it wrong." Discuss. Understandable feeling arising from restless longing, perhaps. My first thought, though, when I heard those words at the end of the song, was that whoever is creating music or flannel shirts covered in whales is doing it right. All the other creatures on the planet seem to naturally know what to do as a species, while humans wonder "am I doing it wrong?" That is what we do naturally as a species: wonder, philosophize, and create.
Thanks for listening Lil. I recorded this so quickly that the vocal was a stream of consciousness. Didn't give it much thought. That said, I've been traveling a ton and even when I'm home I'm not entirely present. I think the lyric is just me saying, "hey pal, keep working hard but be present too." "I'm alive, so they tell me, but sometimes it feels like a guess."
Yes, that's definitely the point. I'm one of the listeners. I will wake up the next morning and not recall the song, hear it again and think "wow, what's that all about?" My interpretation of my own words evolves over time. Once in a while it will click and I will think, "it's so obvious what this is about now." This song was like that for me. Took years to figure out: I love and miss you too Lil. Best!!!! Steve
You've peaked my curiosity. I have emailed you a version with no vocal.
The embed isn't working for me. #bugski? Hitting https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/291431185&show_artwork=true directly doesn't work either, but https://soundcloud.com/user-414571834/if-this-is-living does.
