i wanted to say that there’s just so much range here!! i really like how bjork-like “cult of me” sounds, terrible town bangs, i wish i had the temerity to name a song “go fuck yourself” and then literally have the title of the song be words that i sing in the song!!
i’m going to listen back more but yes i wanted to echo that it’s REALLY good and i had a lot of fun in the listening party on bandcamp while wrangling ash
my newer band has a demo out today, I sort of have no idea if it’s actually good bc 1. I don’t listen to music that sounds like it often and so have little basis of comparison for what’s clever, what’s hacky, etc and 2. I’ve gotten really close w the two other members, maybe it’s weird but I’ve never actually been in a band w deep friendships, working w them is really fun and consequently I have trouble being critical bc I listen to the output and just think “yay I’m having fun with my friends ”. anyway here’s me having fun with my friends
needs work. and I wanted, tried, to put vocals to it but I simply don’t have the equipment/priv-acy to do so and bailed once it started feeling like work cuz this is for channeling some joy towards my dog bruv and now I have this song I can sing to myself and it made me feel better making it… I might attempt a simplistic animated “karaoke” video…(maybe it’s the game designer in me but that could be kinda fun(ny) to just release a bunch of unknown songs with karaoke style videos) anyway.
Lyrics
Outside the window here
There’s a bush that’s clearly much too dry now
No one else would understand why now
-
Here on the bathroom floor
There’s an animal that’s ripped in half!
By the tub where you took your bath
-
Well, here in Lattle Boo Love Zone
A heart that’s broken is a heart that’s grown
Here on the Astral Wow-Wow Plane
It’s a beautiful pain to love again and again
(and again and again)
-
Here on the kitchen floor
There’s an accidental cheesy mac
But there’s no one here to sneak that snack
-
Here by the dirty socks
Is the same old box beside the bedside
For little feet to reach up high…
-
…Here in Lattle Boo Love Zone
A heart that’s broken is a heart that’s grown
Here on the Astral Wow-Wow Plane
It’s a beautiful pain to love again and again
(and again and again)
(instrumental verse and probably some silly quips asking if he wants to go out, no harness or leash required no more! etc. clearly I’m in my “I don’t care if I’m corny af phase ” and then let’s sing until the fade out:)
Cheers, for all the tears
Happy and sad
So glad, so
it was a silly joy doing those “SFX” referring to the previous verse lyrics, it was a silly joy making this because my dog was a silly joyous guy!
oh it’s really great! clip launch mode makes knocking together arrangements v easy, I love yelling into the little mic to make blown out backing vocals, it has enough depth and flexibility to get things sounding finished without having a sterile “playing live to tracks with soothe on everything” feel, I’m v happy with it
