Hey Steem,
It's been quite a while since I posted. I recently got into vr on the Oculus Quest and the game "Echo VR" made me feel like for the first time, VR could go mainstream. Being in Zero Gravity, throwing a frisbee through a goal and punching people to stun was never something I imagined before. There are a good amount of fun games on VR, but this one has been my favorite so far. It really feels like you're playing a sport. So during this crazy pandemic induced isolation, it was a very nice window into socializing.
So I got really into this game, and joined a team, left a team, joined a team, left a team, made a few really good friends, and was inspired to write a song about my experience.
This video was made entirely using the game either POV from my own headset, or in a spectator mode I was able to use through my PC and an xbox controller to have full camera control (I.E. the epic slo mo scoring shots) - The song has a lot of references to the game only people who play a lot would recognize, but hopefully sound normal to the average listener. I hoped the song/video would take off, but it hasn't had much luck getting any traction on YT or Spotify, so I thought I'd give it a shot here, since this audience is already ahead of the curve on tech and maybe you guys will dig it.
Here are the lyrics:
Lyrics:
Trying hard not to bobble it up
I’m scared letting you down
Like a knot in the pit of my gut
Moving up to my neck now
Running wild in my mind
What you’re gonna say
What you’re gonna think
Will you be disappointed in me
Pre-Hook:
Cuz I try So hard
I fly but I’m scarred
Will you ever forgive me
Will you understand
I’m lining up I’m gonna take my shot
I’m Doing the best I can
Hook:
The Best
The Best I
The best Best
The best i can
The best
The best best
The best
Verse 2:
Feeling like I may run outta luck
need a boost of my ego
losing speed...and I need to duck
but can’t seem to let go
Running wild in my mind
Are you gonna wait
if I lag behind
will you stop, grab a hold of me
Pre-Hook:
Cuz I try So hard
I fly but I’m scarred
Will you ever forgive me
Will you understand
I’m lining up I’m gonna take my shot
I’m doing the best I can
Hook:
The Best
The Best I
The best Best
The best I can
The best
The best best
The best
Bridge:
Spinning round and round and round and round and round we go now
Moving how we wanna going up and down and sideways now
gotta go, flying low, wanna know if we'll ever get back to land
I don't care if we end up champs
I’m doing the best I can
Hook:
The Best
The Best I
The best Best
The best I can
The best
The best best
The best
