A chiptune arrangement of Johannes Brahms' ubiquitous lullaby, trying to humbly spice up the chords progression!

Wrote the chiptune part a while ago. I finally recorded some guitar and put it all together!

Tumbling Down

"K.K. Cruisin' (Interstate 5)"
aivi & surasshu
originally composed by Kazumi Totaka
from the game Animal Crossing

aivisura liner notes:

- We love Totaka!
- We worked on this remix in between projects for a year.
- When we lived in separate countries, we played Animal Crossing: New Leaf together all the time, and went to K.K. Slider concerts on Saturdays. We requested "K.K. Cruisin'" every time.
- We started this remix in an attempt to answer the question, "Why is K.K. Cruisin' so great?" After listening to it and studying it, we determined that, for us, the heart of the song was its groove. The same five chords repeat throughout the entire song (five extremely creative chords--Mr. Totaka is always a step ahead of us all), and it never changes in rhythm or energy level. We used that concept as the main inspiration for our arrangement, where instead of ramping up the energy for the chorus like we'd normally do, we pulled back and settled into a comfortable groove. Keeping "still" was a big exercise in confidence for both of us.
- We named our remix after the road trips we'd take together down I-5, between San Francisco and LA. Those trips felt like mini-vacations for us (though we still worked on the road and in our hotel room) and making this song has been a mini-vacation for us, too.

pots & pans
the sound u hear each morning
song and dance
amid the myriad snoring
drops of jam
are spilling on your dress shirt
but you understand
that life is just a concert

pots & pans
the odds and ends that lead you
and I need you here all the time
I hope it won't impede you
I just need you here all the time
I just need you here all the time

Stems & seeds
we stopped before we started
and I just wanted to be
The pot you plant your heart in
Pods & peas
Can wilt before the harvest
but our hopes and dreams
will lead us through the hardship

Pots & pans
The aria of wanting
But I need you here all the time
And if my song should reach you
Just know I need you here all the time
I just need you here all the time
I just need you here all the time
I just need you here...

I'm but a wave to say I love you
Swept into the sea

DL on bandcamp!

Lyrics:

I heard what I wanted to hear and I can't hide that
You said, "try again next year," and as a matter of fact I might.
Hanging on to a sliver of hope that you might come around
Feeling down is no real way to cope, but maybe this time it works.

Oh, how long can I go? It's all too much for me
Oh, how long can I go, without seeing your face? Without hearing your voice?

Tried to understand the reasons I wait but it never adds up
Swear you off and my unrest abates until this time the very next day.
On the bus heading east downtown, I look at my phone
It wasn't you and my sorrows I'll drown with a song in a major key.

Oh, how long can I go? It's all too much for me
Oh, how long can I go, without seeing your face? Without hearing your voice?
