Song Challenge January 

I sang some chord progressions, then I reversed them, then I EQ'd them to sound like they were coming out of an old timey radio. 

Then I added guitar, main vocal, and harmonies. 

I think it's interesting that during the chorus the reversed vocals acted as like kind of a bootleg sidechain compression.

Lyrics:
Talking to myself is my love life 
And I don't wanna see you every night 
I will wait for the light 

Dreaming in a better place 
Will make me feel young again 
But never will I stop dreaming of when 
You looked up to the sky 
Ad never told me why 
The stars won't let you cry 

Buried in trees I left my whole life 
Hoping that I'd be living at new heights 
I will wait for the light 

Dreaming in a better place 
Will make me feel young again 
But never will I stop dreaming of when 
You looked up to the sky 
And never told me why 
The stars won't let you cry

Let You Cry

For the Ben Levin/Hugo Moroux Song Challenge 2022: Create a song with an unusually high BPM.

I would take you down my driveway 
Through the misty clouds of perfume 
I would eat up all the silence 
If only
It would only take a moment 
To steep for hours in our shared gloom 
I'll set my heart on much less 
If only 

I only, if only
I could be what you want from me 
If only, if only 
You could see what I see in me 

Someday deep inside the sunset 
Between the purples and the oranges 
I'll remember all the perfume 
If only 
The fog is thick between our faces
I can't see past your brown eyes 
We'll remember all the perfume 
If only

I only, if only
I could be what you want from me 
If only, if only 
You could see what I see in me

If Only

My mouth starts running, running
And at night
I throw myself a pity party
Can't do anything correctly
I'm bursting at the seams
Much like my clothes when I stress eat

Self-sabotage is what I do the best
Self-sabotage ruins all that I am

I could sabotage everything, everything
If they would like
I don't think that they want that no no
Let's keep lying on the down low
It hurts more now that I think about it
Memories of how my childhood started

Self-sabotage is what I do the best
Self-sabotage ruins all that I am

Self-sabotaging everyday, everyday
Because I am afraid
Afraid of what they would think about me
Afraid that I am the last thing they need
Don't want their perceptions to change
Just keep thinking of me the same way

Self-sabotage is what I do the best
Self-sabotage ruins all that I am

Self-Sabotage
