beautiful guitar, in fact the whole piece is eerily beautiful; could be used in a Tim Burton film :)

No A.I. was used to create this track!

Around January 20th my friend from work asked me to prepare for him some music for his graphics reel project. And here is result. Mostly done in one evening. Original track has 36 seconds, however, for SoundCloud purposes, I extended this "track" and added a finish. Finally this track didn't find his way to final product, but I think it's a decent project to share ;)

Main hero of this track is still awesome, 18 years old, soft synth from Native Instruments - Massive. Beside that I've used heavily filtered Heavyocity Foundation Emotive Choir and couple of percussive samples from Ableton Live libraries.

Lyrics:
Modern Times

Verse 1

Am I playing the wrong game —- where losing’s a crime
Time’s just not the same—-and there’s no one here to blame
In these modern times——where machines reigns supreme 
breaking all the chains——-to fulfill my dreams
————And that’s a solid —because—- yeah—— I’m back————-
Metaphors and rhymes——-my weapons on this track
Modulating -from the underground ——one culture one voice
And we’re —-wired in like teeth—-like we—-ever—-had a choice

Chorus

Modern times---- a difficult maze
Where screens captivate —— the Information Age
And—-We're all connected——yet we’re—also——-alone
Lost in a sea of pixels----hearts ———-—cold as stone
Modern times————Modern times ——-Modern times

Verse 2

Smartphones--at our side—-our constant companions
That double-edged sword—-has become ——-part of the norm
buzzing Notifications——like a relentless swarm
Distracting —us ——-from moments —-another task ——to perform 
Just another monster ———taking physical form

**Chorus**

Bridge

Artificial intelligence--- a marvel and a threat
Replacing human minds--- leaving us —-deep in debt
Algorithms —-determine our fate—without regret—-
Like marionettes ———or puppets on a strings
Manipulating our thoughts——damn—we are feeding these things

Verse 3

Social media——-a stage ——for the soul to bare
Beneath the surface——lies ——and deceptions —-are clear
We curate our lives——-like a perfect facade
our true selves———pushed aside ——in total disregard

**Chorus**

Outro

In this digital age---we must find our way
Embracing the power——with a huge price to pay
There’s a balance for the screens —-in real life
With the key to our future——a new vision insight

Modern Times Vocals 150 BPM

1980's inspired nostalgia. 
Co produced with my wife, Olivia Grant, as she recommended for me to change the original lead guitar part so it is more melodic and not loads of notes played in your face. I think it worked for the better.
Hope you all enjoy listening 🎧

It was a time when I was quite obsessed with one-word song title especially when that word is not included in the lyrics.  “Mist”, which I shared late last year is one of those.  So here is another one called “Moods”.  A new recording this year.  Just hope you like it.   
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
Time, keeps on floating by					
Life's expectancy, life's uncertainty drift past my eyes					
Fantasy seems so glamourous					
I'm haunted by its emptiness					
Long lectures on loneliness palled on me	
			
Afraid of growing up
Get the feel of things that life can bring, we ought to know				
Dreams, too beautiful to erase				
Reality, too real to replace				
The debts we owe can never be repaid
				
The seas of sorrow lie				
Locked and frozen in my eyes				
In time grow deep inside……of me								
 					
(Bridge)					
I wake up gladly in the morning					
With the dew I grieve					
The sun starts to fade away					
The clouds come and take its place				
I'm feeling sad, so depressed towards the end of day……..				
 
This world, never seems right				
And laughter's a glass that flashes back cold lights…….								
< Repeat Bridge >

Countless faults we've made				
The past that we betrayed				
Seems to make our future fades away

Lyrics:

The first step I've made 
had burnt me down without a trace
 Inhaling smoke, I've exhaled you

Suffocating underwater 
I hope I won't go much further 
breathless watching how my world goes upside down 
Suffocating underwater
 I hope I won't go much further upside down

I'm the last leaf, you are the wind - 
strong and cold, soon I'm falling, 
But it's better to be on the ground 
than soaring high and never be found

Upside Down - OMCB

This music is gentle and lyrical; throughout it, you will hear an angel playing chords on a harp.
