This is a new track inspired by playing around with various AI tools like ChatGPT. My first question was if it could make a pop punk song about a sloth on a mystical journey. It spit out some lyrics that were quite impressive honestly. I laughed and decided to run with the idea. I tweaked the lyrics and added more of my own and this is the result.

Read my blog post on how I made this song:

Back in May 2022, Joshua Blum sent me a chord progression he made on his retro synth and I added handpan and produced a track out of it. Josh later did a cool animation for a YouTube video, check it out. Cover art by Joshua Blum.

Thirteenth Hour Handpan Retro Synth (feat Joshua Blum)

The latest single from Starbound Renegade! My gf turned me on to some goth rock and post punk, which inspired me to make a track in that vein. I wrote the lyrics based off our own struggles with OCD and overthinking. The vocals were programmed in Synthesizer V Studio Basic using the Solaria free edition. Music and production in FL Studio. Cover art done in Photoshop featuring the "Stoned Fox" meme which is an OCD related inside joke between my gf and I.

LYRICS:

[Intro]
Save myself, from myself

[Verse 1]
Uncertainty
Ambivalence
Polarized voices in my head
False urgency
So significant
Every thought craves my attention
I'm paralyzed by doubts
I ruminate on the questions
I'm not okay right now
What's real, I don't know

[Chorus]
These intrusive thoughts
My mind is like a prison I can't escape and
I can't tell, if everything is just an illusion, yeah

[Verse 2]
My reality
is in question
How can I trust my perception
Dissociate
Block it out
Turn it off, I don't know how
I meditate for the hundredth time
Sitting on the edge of my bed now
I'm not okay right now
What’s real? I don't know
I’m still fighting

[Chorus]
These intrusive thoughts
My mind is like a prison I can't escape and
I can't tell, if everything is just an illusion, yeah

[Bridge]
In my head
In my mind
Analyzing all the ways I that could die
I'll never know, I'm suffering right now

[Ending]
Save myself, from myself
In my head there is like a thousand radio stations
Gotta rise above the pain, and transcend
Be still, embrace the shame, and feel it

Tried to recreate one of my favorite songs in FL Studio. Original song here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cmqNrpKUFA

[FL Studio remake/cover] The Loved Ones - "100k"

The demo from my first band By Bread Alone (2007-2008)

When your soul comes alive after midnight. You know who you are.

Midnight Soul

What if Stranger Things had a baby with Taking Back Sunday? I was experimenting with synthwave sounds mixed with punk rock and emo. I loved the dual vocal interaction that TBS does, so I tried to recreate some of that magic here. 

Emotional Things

This is the intro to my second book Wake Up, which I wrote in 2014. I break down the process in which I hacked my habits to help me wake up several hours early every day for a year. This goes into how I did it, the challenges I faced, and what habits I did, why I did them, and how my life changed as a result.

My girlfriend played me this song by Akon and I really liked it so I made a cover version of it. Enjoy!

Akon - "Right Now" (cover by Starbound Renegade)

Melody for a song for Campfire Conspiracy. Here are some lyrics below, see if you can match them to the melody.

Verse 1
Don’t forget, promise me
You will wait for me
I’ll be back, I just need
Space and time to myself

Chorus
You said that we should talk this over
You said I gotta think it through
You said that I might forget you
I said don’t worry

Oh it hurts me to leave you all alone
All I know one thing’s for sure, I’m gonna miss you
