Steely Dan & Michael Jackson - Billie Dan

Track 6 | This Isn't Right

This was the result of two crushes happening simultaneously that ended up dating each other. And a feeling that I was somehow a means to an end - used by one to get closer to the other, then discarded. I let my emotions and wishful thinking get the better of me. I now realize that Brooke was the one who felt it the hardest and wrote the bridge.

Fleetwood Mac meets Police meets Ozma. I love this track, now that I'm over it.

This Isn't Right

Track 3 | Debris and Ashes

"If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:"

- Rudyard Kipling "If"

I've had to watch as years of my life were destroyed and I had to regroup and start again. No use dwelling on who hurt you, and what they had to say. Just keep going, never look back, and improve as a person when you can.

From this point on its just me and MIDI.

Track 4 | False Alarm

When you fall in love with someone and start making decisions to stay together at your own expense. I was struggling with Plurality and didn't realize the worst of my memories are kept by Brooke. They'd initiate a break up, I'd undo it. Repeat. 

I'm pretty proud of the instrumentation of this one, lots of harmonies and creative guitars and synths. I redid the drums at some point with the intention of redoing the whole song - but lost those files and decided to keep it as is.

False Alarm

Completed in July 2018. This slow, melodic, emotional piece will serve as the theme song for one of the leading ladies of an upcoming role-playing video game project I've been working on. This composition incorporates a passage from the piece called "Project 2018 Theme" on my SoundCloud page, so you just know it's going to be important in the game's soundtrack. It's inspired mainly by those soulful, sappy pop ballads from the '80s and '90s, sung by the likes of Whitney Houston, Bette Midler, and Céline Dion.

It also owes a debt of gratitude to Yasunori Mitsuda, particularly his work in the classic PlayStation game "Xenogears". More than anyone else in my opinion, Mitsuda was able to adapt power ballads to RPG soundtracks and make the unusual combination work.

This piece has been updated in August 2018. I added lyrics, and edited the melody line slightly so it would fit with the lyrics a little better.

----------

When life's an endless chore
That shakes you to your core
Remember I'm around
I'll try to help, 'cause I've had that feeling before
Raw wounds and broken dreams
Oh, they'll make you want to scream
Come to me, let's talk things through
And I'll be the friend you've wished for

In a world full of sadness, pain, and doubt
When you feel like your body's giving out
There are friends, beautiful friends, caring and giving and kind
We'll work together in times when dangers lurk
Our solutions may not always work
But with all of our abilities combined
We may find exactly what we thought we'd find

When things don't go as planned
And you can't meet demands
Remember I'm around
Yes, there were times when I also needed a hand
Some people can't be pleased
They'll treat you like you're diseased
Come to me, let's talk things through
Together, we'll leave this wasteland

In a world full of sadness, pain, and doubt
When you feel like your body's giving out
There are friends, beautiful friends, caring and giving and kind
We'll work together in times when dangers lurk
Our solutions may not always work
But with all of our abilities combined
We may find exactly what we thought we'd find

In a world full of crushing loneliness
When your psyche is unharmonious
There are friends, wonderful friends, following closely behind
We'll work together to clear away the traps
And we'll stand by you through your mishaps
We won't judge you, 'cause we've all been in a bind
If our energies and thoughts are all aligned
Then we'll find exactly what we thought we'd find

this mashup is somehow relevant with the current events going on rn, and i just wanna wish that you guys out there stay safe, especially those in the affected areas. police brutality is just sickening imo and i hope when this is all over, justice will prevail and maybe the world can be a bit better than before. with that said, i just wanna apologise for this wall of text too.

also, have i told you that these two songs share the same key?
