Had fun with the generator on BandLab and recounted my Friday!

[Verse I]
I know that I can do it
Mistakes are hard to admit
Don't worry: not gonna quit
Don't worry: not gonna quit

[Verse II]
Up and down like a yo-yo
Rising high and falling low
Which way is it gonna go?
No way to know

[Chorus]
Whirlwind on a Friday
Uncurl and wander idly
Whirlwind on a Friday
Uncurl and wander idly

[Verse III]
Can't imagine all that you're going through
All the stars that you're reaching to
Dozens of goals you're plowing through
To yourself you're staying true

[Verse IV]
My excitement I cannot contain
Rolling the ball straight down the lane
Another strike! Cannot complain
Week One done: POP THE CHAMPAGNE!

[Chorus]
Whirlwind on a Friday
Uncurl and wander idly
Whirlwind on a Friday
Uncurl and wander idly

[Outro]
*laughs* I guess I just did that, huh? *laughs*

I took the parts that I liked about my improvisation made in D'Angelo, threw them into notation, then used a Lo-Fi Piano output with some nice twinkling reverb.  Future revisions may be made.

Hey Chase (Instrumental)

Hey Chase, I've been thinking about you lately
It's been five years, but you're on my mind daily
Trying to remember the sound of your voice namely
I'm hurt and lost without you. But can you blame me? 

I've been thinking about what you said
just a few weeks before you were dead 
I can't get it out of my head 
Man my heart it just bled!


"I don't want you to talk to me out of pity.
It's just been a rough day, 
(It's just been a rough day) 

It didn't go like planned, I'm just frustrated and bummed 
But I don't wanna talk about it, 
(I don't want to talk about it) 

I just want today to be over
(I just want today to be over)
I just want today to be over
(I just want today to be over)"


Was there something I could have done?
Or was was there something he couldn't outrun?
But that's not fair! His life had just begun
He didn't even make it to twenty-one 

Your last message before you died
I didn't even know that when I replied
Maybe if I did, I could have tried
Maybe if I did, you would have survived


"I just want to talk to you
Dude to dude
Just you and I 
Just you and I 

I just want to talk to you
(I don't want to talk about it)
Dude to Dude
(I don't want to talk about it)
Just you and I
(It's just been a rough day)
Just you and I
(It's just been a rough day)"


At first, triggers were all around 
To see a train passing, even the sound
When someone brought you up, my feelings were too loud
Grief comes in waves, that's what I've found 

I wonder what you'd think of me now
I've had highs and lows, man I've lost a house
Checking in on my friends cause I've made a vow
Chase, (Chase) I hope that I've made you proud
(I hope that I've made you proud) 

Hey Chase
