This was great so far, howerer what's with this high pitch thing going in and out? it kinda hurts :(

Red Skies has been in the works almost a month and a half! I started Dash 2 with this mostly fleshed out already. During the writing of Dash 2 @Shankarasmusic concocted the most searing of synth solos to bless us with. The last week and a half have seen mixing and mastering tweaks amounting to a whopping 120 exports between the project session and the mastering session. This broke my record by half. Hopefully it translates :)

For me, Red Skies is an ode to a strain of melodic dubstep that transformed my perception of electronic music and production back in 2016. Hats off to the original crew that I met through a chance encounter in multiplayer minecraft of all things! I learned so much from y'all and am grateful for the moments we've gotten to share. Blessings

Red Skies (ft. Shankara)

I wanna crash my car
I wanna quit my job and be lazy
I wanna go to sleep
Somewhere my telephone cannot wake me
I wanna make a wish
I wanna set you on fire
I wanna do it all
Just because I can

But would I? I shouldn't
Because I love it here
However you see it
It could be totally worse
You know I, I mean it
Are you listening to me
Its all in, the rhythm
The thing you're doin' with me

I wanna go away
What am I gonna do with all my shit though
I wanna throw it out
I'll just be manic and buy more things later
What were we talking about
I wasn't listening to you

I know I, I should've
Because I love you baby
However you see it
It could be totally worse
You know I, I mean it
What's got into you baby
It's all in the rhythm
The things you're doin' to me

You know, you know
(the things that you're doin')

You know the things you're doin' to me
The things you're doin' to me
(The things that you're doin')
You know, you know, you know

The things you're doin' to me
You know, you know
It's what you're doin' to me

Digital Girl - Demo

Can't Help Falling In Love

I wrote this music for a video I made about how cool pecan groves look: https://youtu.be/Yj2WFLtKV1A

Young Grove Old Grove

Gone dead out of time
Some said out of line
When you were mine, oh mine
I said anytime 

You called me at 3AM
I wasn’t awake by then
You told me that we were done
But I thought we were having fun

Hindsight
Makes you think
Were we out of sync
When were you mine?
Did I draw the line

You called me at 3AM
I wasn’t awake by then
You told me that we were done
But I thought we were having fun

You called me at 3am
I didn’t really care by then
You told me that we were through
I never said goodbye to you

You called me at 3am
I didn’t really care by then
You told me that we were through
I never said goodbye to you

3 AM

Lyrics:

I thought we had something
I guess I was wrong
To you, I meant nothing
Didn't realize for this long

Now you've got somebody new
(Please don't tell me, please don't tell me)
Hope they mean much more to you
(Please don't tell me, Please don't)

I'll see myself out
I'll make my leave
Cuz you don't want me anymore
(Please don't want me, Please don't want me)

Tried my best to be there
Should have saved my time
All my life was wasted
It's time I drew the line

I'll see myself out
I'll make my leave
Cuz you don't want me anymore
(Please don't want me, Please don't want me)

I don't belong here
You're not what I need
Cuz you don't love me anymore
(Please don't love me, Please don't love me)

Please don't love me (x8)

I'll see myself out
I'll make my leave
Cuz you don't want me anymore
(Please don't want me, Please don't want me)

I don't belong here
You're not what I need
Cuz you don't love me anymore
(Please don't love me, Please don't love me)

Don't Love Me

I’ve been around for many centuries
And my wandering heart says goodbye
I fed too long on myths and fantasies
It’s time for me to feel alive
Behind the city I can see
The written letters left for me
I’ll read another time 

Something tells me I’m more alive than I’ve ever been
More alive than you’ve ever seen me
Something tells me there’s so much more that I gotta see
So much more that I never believed

I reunite with distant memories
And my shaken disguise fades away
I hear the signal and it’s calling me
It’s time for me to end the day
Beyond the universe I see
The death of stars, the life of me
I’ll keep them in my mind

I know who you are
But the sun stopped shining
Tell me who you are
Oh, oh, oh, OH NO!

I don’t think I want to be here
You can’t make me stay
I don’t know who you think you are
But you cant make me stay
