I Started This War

Songchal3

*for my song challenge friends below*

Hey folks. 
I only spent a few minutes in Musescore; can't read music so I just randomly wrote in notes on random instruments then sampled. 

Was listening to Rick Rubin's new book, and he suggested a way to write lyrics where you beat a pillow for 5 minutes non stop and then write down the first things that come to mind. I did that once and wrote what became the, uh, wholesome lyrics, then I did it again and recorded it. 

By the end of the process I was beating up a pillow at full force for a combined total of 12 minutes and I am still sore from doing it days later. The outro to this is a sliced and stacked up take of me punching the poor (thankfully memory foam) pillow until I was laughing hysterically. 

For the sung lyrics I had a friend call me and read a random line from a random book of hers. It vaguely fit what I *think* the theme is. 

The end result is a confused, id driven weirdo piece. Cathartic as hell to make, but not quite enjoyable to listen to. Most fun I've had in a decade. 

Enjoy!

Lyrics: 
AAAAAHHHHH 
I eat what I am 
I am what I eat 
I fuck what I am
I fuck what I see 
I fuck with no one 
I fuck with myself 
I fuck everyone
I fuck myself
I fuck my containment
I fuck my confines
I fuck my complacence
I fuck my  
In the backyard
by the mossy tree
in the heavy rain
a seed
(pillow pummeling solo)

Lyrics:

I heard them whisper my name
It’s the sweetest of sounds
But it’s laced in pain

Evading life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love 

A thousand faces under rocks is all I can see
Don’t let the lack of light hurry you to your knees
And I’ll protect you, I won’t force
My way in 

When the rest is alone
Hearing’s enough
Heave us over ledges closing the ocean
Weave our way home
Over edges into the ocean

Erasing life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love

Lyrics:

You, you
When the weather comes
And I need to run
And I'm on a fast train to nowhere
Soon

You, you
You're sun
You, you

Your firelight burns
Brighter, ready player one

You, you

Yoohoo

Lyrics:

Death and Danger is this planet called
You never understood
The axe the lets out all the blood
You never had it so good

This Robot and this Goddess
Both seem so incredibly small
When you take into account
The extent and amount
Of this impossible sound

There seems to be a book between us
Why do you talk so hard?
And when this book is over
I will tell you who you are

Rocket ships are reforming themselves
Into forks and knives, cups and bowls
And started a band

The knight attacks the fridge again

There seems to be a book between us
Why do you talk so hard?
And when this book is over
I will tell you who you are
