Fashionably late as always and  I'm sorry I couldn't skimp on the artwork. Gotta look nice you know? Make it feel finished! Haha (Hopefully you can see what it’s supposed to be a trippy version of!)

Jamie:
- I Wrote the bassline, using the bassline provided

- Did the singing and writing thing that I do (Lyrics and meanings below text btw)

- and helped out with some of the arrangement. 

After all that, Dylan on the otherhand:
- Chopped the clav into smithereens,
- drums into disco
- Mixed my vocals
- and Replayed the clav part with Juno, Rhodes and Piano

(i.e. smashed it, S/O https://soundcloud.com/dylancgreene)

+ Also we both agree this should end with something to do with plums so yeah

LYRICS:

INTRO
Feel the sun rise x2

VERSE 1
Feel the sun rise
Burning midnight
Under a plastic blue moon
Have I spoken to soon?

CHORUS
I see things differently, now
The world is spinning but its UPSIDE DOWN

I see things differently now
The world is spinning but I’m UPSIDE DOWN

VERSE 2
I see things differently 
Hazy like I’m crazy
Tapping a different beat (oh!)

Walking on plasticine 
Is she tainted, is she fakin?
Is she leading me -e on?

Have I been a fool?
To fall for your eyes
Not the first time
Like I knew? (oh!)

Is she pleasing me?
For the sake of it, make or breaking it?
A pot of gold

CHORUS
I see things differently 
Now
The world is spinning but its UPSIDE DOWN

I see things differently 
Now
The world is spinning but I’m UPSIDE DOWN

CHORUS cont.
I see things differently 
Now
Can’t see no mirror me
NO!
I see things differently 
You live in fantasy!
(Oh… oh oh no)

BRIDGE
Painted forests 
And your waving seas
Am I tourist,
to you make believe?

CHORUS
I see things differently, now
The world is spinning but its UPSIDE DOWN

I see things differently, now
The world is spinning but I’m UPSIDE (DOWN)
x2
,UPSIDE DOWN

-------------------------------------------------

SOME LYRIC NOTES AND CONCEPTS: 
- The concept is ambiguous but centers around everything feeling mix-matched and uneasy.

- "Plastic blue moon", is a play on a once in a blue moon (hardly ever) and (plastic, fake, it won't go away unless you deal with it yourself) 
,but then the character starts questioning themselves, 
(i.e. is it really so rare for this kind of thing? "have I spoken (decided) too soon?")

- Lines like “Walking on plasticine” suggest the character is struggling to cope with the reality of it all
- the “different beat” line is followed by an oh which is placed to match the lyric

- The bridge deliberately fumbles the phrases painted seas and waving trees showing they’re losing their mind a bit ,reminds you they may be in the wrong and there’s always two sides to story
