Rocket Boy

BPM: 116

This instrumental is inspired to the sound of the eighties. I kept the electric bass quite high in the mix, adding some chorus effect over 200Hz to enhance the sound of the string.
I used several tracks of Strat to create the main texture of the composition, using arpeggios and strummed parts through chorus and delay.
The drums are programmed and based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here: https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. 
The drum samples are organized in round robin groups to give a natural feel to the drums part.

Lyrics:

I, I walk the town, I hear the sound
Of swarming vultures all around
I, I sing loud, I feel ok
But then you say shit that makes me want to shout

So SAY WHAT U WANT
What u want feel the pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
I can't hear I'm screaming louder
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel my pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel the pressure
Write what you want, text what you want about me
If you wanna know, I'm not sorry
SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

You don't know my truth, or my integrity
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
You don't know this heart, or my golden soul 
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
#SAYWHATUWANT about me

I, I can see straight, I ignore your voices
Ones ticked with thorns I know
I, I can go my own way, I know the road to hell
But for who I am I will take it

So SAY WHAT U WANT
What u want feel the pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
I can't hear I'm screaming louder
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel my pressure
SAY WHAT U WANT
What you want feel the pressure
Write what you want, text what you want about me
If you wanna know, I'm not sorry
SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

You don't know my truth, or my integrity
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
You don't know this heart, or my golden soul 
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

Sometimes I lie all alone
Thinking why am I this way
But I don't sit and weep, I get on my feet
So just run your mouths, and I just start to party

You don't know my truth, or my integrity
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
You don't know this heart, or my golden soul 
But SAY WHAT U WANT
SAY WHAT U WANT about me
SAY WHAT U WANT about me

Say What U Want

MOSTLY HARMLESS

The Triangle represents the generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture.

Triangles, Generation of Energy

It's hot in here
I look at the floor
I see ants there
They go to the door

Sara’s in town
She is with her friends
I do not like them
They feel the same.

The birds around here 
Are like women
They fly away
When come the problems

Someone told me I caused her so much pain 
And anyway it's me who complains

I stare at the ceiling
I see spiders there
They turn on themselves
And I do the same

I don't understand why I'm the problem
At least I guess I'm not the right man

The birds around here 
Are like women
They fly away
When come the problems

Someone told me I caused her so much pain 
And anyway it's me who complains

Emotions Are Mist

Psychosis

Fragments of Becoming

The idea for this song came from driving, when you have passengers and that classic comment "Are we nearly there yet?", to which I would reply "We get there when we get there"

I don’t know where it is I’m going						
I hope I get there really soon
This journey’s taking me forever
Maybe I’m going to the moon

I could go up
I could go down
Or I could stop
And spin around

Oh I get there									
When I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there
Yeah I get there
Oh I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there

There was a time when things were clearer					
I thought I knew which way to go
But now my dreams are nowhere nearer
And I keep changing all my goals

Sometimes it’s this
Sometimes it’s that
And I don’t know
Right where I’m at

Oh I get there									
When I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there
Yeah I get there
Oh I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there


Life is a journey									
Mysterious
Where is it?
What is it?
Where is it?
What is it?

Where am I going							
I just don’t know 
My head is filled with glue
What can I do now
Get there
I just don’t know
When I’ll get there
Oh when I get there
My mind’s in overload

Yeah I get there
Oh I get there
Oh when I get there
And when I get there
Well I get there

Sometimes I’m going down the highway					
I see my exit flashing by
I never stop and do a u-turn
And sometime later wonder why
When will I get there
I wonder why 
When will I get to where I’m going?

Free To Think

When I Get There
