in originalmusic •  7 years ago  (edited)

Listen to the Needle on Your Record radio show from 2 to 4 PM central time (USA) here
https://discord.gg/6hnXH9 and see if they play my song! More details here https://steemit.com/smaradio/@d-vine/the-needle-on-your-record-show-a-curation-show-for-music-with-seveaux-and-d-vine-on-wednesday

Comments and feedback welcome. I have a version with some subtle strange synth noises throughout as well, but I actually horribly injured myself before I could polish it up.

Also what I'm thinking it could really use is a beat. Maybe something subtle and intricate or original and experimental? I don't know, if anyone wants to add something to it I would love to hear it, so please get a hold of me!

I just put the recorded Ableton live project up on blend.io so you can pull it down and work directly with it if you want https://blend.io/tothesun/webs-and-schisms-project

Lyrics:

hail the descent of days
the fervor wont to fade
while the living devise
their demise to delay
attraction's been laced
with polymerase
love and hate
are exactly the same
self-affirming narcissism
that we trench in
to catch our reflections
and beyond is a chasm
webs and schisms
and a girl with grey eyes
once dreamt of drowning
so to give the world
its proper grounding
she tore down the blue skies
left horizons searing
love and hate
are exactly the same
self-affirming narcissism
that we trench in
to catch our reflections
and beyond is a chasm
webs and schisms
both old lies of
lone perspective
both old lies of
lone perspective
both old lies of
lone perspective
both old lies of
lone perspective
both old lies of
lone perspective

I can finally fully appreciate the lyrics to this song.

They're an expression of cynicism, as well as realism I'd say
