Works perfectly Chris - that stripped back strident raw banjo is almost a song in itself - perfectly offset by those creamy, impassioned vocals and swinging along neatly with Tanya’s perc.  Lovely job!

oh lord, that's what it's all about. that feel

Love the vocal inflections, the lapping percussion, tone of the guitar and soulful voice. 

Something about this... instant comfort/happy space music. :)

I love reading that you two made the best of the quarantine (two+ years ago now. Can't believe it's been that long). And I love that it sounds like you worked it all out in the same room together. One of the things I find so magical about modern day tech; our ability to create together, regardless of miles between. Beautiful cover you two. :)

Lyrics:

Time to brainstorm
So let’s press start to work
On games
Even more fun
Than pressing start to play
For us

We work hard now so you press start to play
Someday
When it’s ready, we'll be sure to tell you first
You can playtest

Thank you so much for encouraging us 
in this endeavour
You don’t realise how much your interest means 
To me, a creator

I can't wait till I have more time to code
Trying to finish the mini game mode
Always seems like there's so much more to do
Just so that one day, you can all press play

Making adventure games like it's the mid 90s
The world does always need more good stories
And I hope that I can contribute a few
I hope that I can add something of value

All the backgrounds finally finished, I’ll add them to the game
All the characters are finished, I’ll add them to the game
Something’s wrong, I’ve got to fix it
Another bug, created more bugs!
(More bugs!)
But I’ll get through this nonsense

All the dialogue is written…
That took us years,
That took us years,
That took us years,
That took us years, 
But it will not be in vain

You'd also be shocked at how long this took us all in all
To get even halfway
But it will all be worth it in the end, 
When the players press play!

Brainstorming time, 
Brainstorming time, 
Brainstorming time, 
Brainstorming time

Let’s get to work
And make this game,
Come on, my team -
You’re all so great!

Time to brainstorm
So let’s press start to work
On games
Even more fun
Than pressing start to play
For us

We work hard now so you press start to play
Someday
When it’s ready, we'll be sure to tell you first
You can playtest

It’ll all be worth it in the end, 
When the players press play!

Press Start To Work!

■概要
この曲を作った途端、私は体調を崩しました。
これは妖怪のせいかもしれません。

As soon as I made this song, my physical condition deteriorated. This may be because of the youkai.

■歌詞
「おうちが一番」
<セリフ>
足音：テクテクテク
男　：おーい
子供：なぁに？
男　：早く帰った方が良いよ。
子供：えぇっ、何で？！
男　：妖怪が・・出るんだ。
子供：ええっ？！
男　：行きはよいよい・・なんちゃって
別の足音：テク、テク、テク・・テクテクテクテク！
妖怪　　：コンバンワオーーーーン！

うちに帰ろう　ほっとする場所に
何もいらないよ　君意外何も

川づたいに歩いて行こう
迷子にならないように

太陽が沈み　あたりの木々が歌いだしたら
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ

鏡のような月は水の中
かすかにかおる　カレーのにおい
家に帰ろう　すたこらさっさっさ


うちに帰ろう　君がいる場所に
暖かいスープを　君と飲むのさ

細い道を歩いてゆけば
お参り帰りの狐
松明に照らされたお面が見つめる
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ
通りゃんせ　通りゃんせ

I love home 
Too far away
So far away 
You far away

I'm hungry
You're hungry?

■ lyrics
"home is the best"
<Dialogue>
Footsteps: Teku teku teku
Man: Hey
Child: what?
Man: You should go home early.
Child: Eh, why? !
Man: A youkai... is coming out.
Child: Eh? !
Man: It's good to go... What the hell
Another footstep: Teku, teku, teku... teku teku teku tekutekutekuteku!
Youkai: Ko---nban Waoooooon!

Let's go home to a relaxing place
I don't need anything Nothing except you

Let's walk along the river
don't get lost

When the sun sets and the trees around me begin to sing
toriyanse toriyanse
toriyanse toriyanse

The mirror-like moon is in the water
A faint scent of curry
Let's go home


Let's go home to where you are
I drink warm soup with you

If you walk down a narrow road
Fox on the way home
The face illuminated by the torch stares
toriyanse toriyanse
toriyanse toriyanse

I love home
too far away
So far away
You far away

I'm hungry
Are you hungry?

Lyrics:
Hey, Wildflower
It’s what you call me when I'm in the deep.
Your voice drifts to my high tower.
As I’m watching for that setting sun to keep

But if you wonder how I feel about you, 
if my love is real

Well, I’m a wildflower
Unbridled like a summer storm
And in your garden I belong 
Where the Robin sings me like song 
And I’ll be basking in your sunlight
In your gentle rain I’ll feel right
Beneath it all..   a Wildflower

Instrumental

My words fail to reflect my mind,
To tell you how I feel in side.. 

‘Cause I’m your Wildflower
Unbridled like a summer storm
But in your garden I belong 
Where the Robin sings me like a song 
And I’ll be basking in your sunlight
In your gentle rain I’ll feel right
Beneath it all..  Your Wildflower 
Beneath it all..  Your Wildflower

Echo In The Dark

Wildflower

A fun collaboration of a song by Willie Dixon, made when my friend Tanya was in her last days of the 14 day quarantine in a hotel in Tasmania. She recorded some drums and finger cymbals on her phone and we stitched this blues classic together. 

A few additions are still needed when we get together in the home studio in person.
