memory garden || 8/13/2023 - 1/6/2024 

This song is about realizing that no matter how low you get in life, you can always remember the times where you didn't give up and back down, giving you the motivation to keep moving forward.

Song written and composed by me with contribution from @foryears
Lyrics written by me
Vocals recorded by the wonderful @pookikitty

lyrics:

Lest I forget, even if the world was so cruel to me
I managed to come out okay
As the worst came to shove, I refused to let it take me
"At least I'm alive to see another day"

I walk through this garden that holds my joy and holds my pain
yet I wonder, "Will I ever be the same?"
those feelings have torn me apart and they still rip at my heart
I'm just lying to myself, anyway

But I've come so damn far, I just can't afford to die
I lay down in the flowers and I look up at the sky
reminisce on all who I've lost 'till I started to cry
but through my willpower, I made it out alive

Hope, a funny word I hate, yet I cherish
a fallacious savior for all to flourish
but I don't believe in hope
or maybe I'm just not ready to accept that

I walk through this garden that holds my joy and holds my pain
yet I wonder, "Will I ever be the same?"
those feelings have torn me apart and they still rip at my heart
I'm just lying to myself, anyway

But I've come so damn far I just can't afford to die
I lay down in the flowers and I look up at the sky
reminisce on all who I've lost 'till I started to cry
but through my willpower, I made it out alive

I made it out alive
I made it out alive
I made it out alive
I made it out alive

From August 10th to August 11th, 2024, over 1,000 creatives woke up early, clocked out of work, gathered with friends, and prepared for the 24-hour challenge to come. As submissions roll in, the day passes in the blink of an eye. Musicians put their final touches on their songs, passing around the master file for one final polish from all collaborators. Visual artists eagerly await for the few final minutes of their render to pass with no issues. All participants take one big, deep breath as they upload their files and hit "Submit". Out of 562 music submissions and 71 art submissions, 45 shining tracks and one cover design were selected and organized with care into one final album. It captures a glimpse of the evolving creativity not just of our community, but of creatives everywhere.

First and foremost, All Nighter is about joy; the payoff is well worth it, but the purpose is in the process. It's so much more than making a song or cover art with a friend—it's human connection. It's learning how to push yourself beyond your creative limits. It's taking pride in your hard work. It's meeting new people who happen to love the same musicians and artists as you. Creating what makes you happy is a joy that keeps the wheels of creativity turning; we all owe it to ourselves to love what we make, and make what we love.

All proceeds from All Nighter, Vol. 9 will be donated to the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, a charity that provides referrals, education, and support to individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones.

tysm to tea team for letting me a part of this comp!! plsss go follow them here: https://linktr.ee/teateamdesu

(hey! what should i start this song with?)
(hey! start it with that!)

i think i lost myself, somewhere out there
but i’m finding it now
i’m feeling so much better somehow, yeah
and i don’t need your affirmations
im doing better without your foot in the door
i’ll get along without you waging your wars

oh and this time, i’m finally putting an end before i let it begin all again
and this time? i’m gonna stand with my word and not let you back in
oh and this time, i’m really letting you and you’ll be out on your own from now on
and this time, you’ll finally realize the damage you’ve done

you caught me talking to my walls last night
and the questions you asked have been eating me up inside
and i’ve been stuck in my head my whole life
so trust me i know what it’s like
and you said that you’re scared that nothing will ever stay the same and i said it won’t, but that’s no reason to hide away
if there’s something out there that helps you get up every day then you should chase it, no matter what they say

From February 1st to 2nd, 2025, 449 musicians and 24 visual artists came together to challenge themselves: 18 hours to create cover art and supplementary branding, and 18 hours to produce songs between 50 and 70 seconds-- no more, no less. A major challenge, but a welcome one. The resulting 66 tracks consist of some of the most high-energy, creative, and fun music that the FORM community has to offer.

During times of stress, fear, and worry, art is what keeps us going. It can be an enormous tool for good or simply a small glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark time. If any%: Level 2 is a testament to anything, it's our ability to keep getting back up and finding joy wherever we can. Our lust for life is what helps us fight for those around us and for causes that matter to us, which in turn enables us to create more and more art forevermore. Start that project that's been in the back of your mind. Pick up a skill you've been meaning to acquire. Try something new and allow yourself to fail. There is so much triumph to be found in our art, and so much art to be found in our triumph.

All proceeds from any%: Level 2 will be donated to CHADS, a nonprofit dedicated to awareness, prevention, and programs surrounding depression and suicide.
