for a week in january 2024 i made a song with a different sample every day. each song was made in about 1-2 hours, reinterpreting a piece of a previous song by an artist I had been listening to lately

JANUARY - a song a day for a week

i made a song with a different sample every day in january for a week - this is track 1

tell me it’s the same 
baby can you tell it’s same 
[…]

baby can you tell me we’re the same
they say that’s it’s impossible but I don’t wanna change
new battles new losses new gains
but baby can you lie and tell me nothing ever changed

new house, no hair, new clothes
some things with new tags but the feeling’s still old
i find a lot a silver linings in the changes
but, something bout the past still feels gold, so

tell me it’s the same

january 2//agape - nicholas britell

i made a song with a different sample every day in january for a week - this is track 2

I’m gonna need you tonight
[…]

I’m gonna need you tonight
cause lately I ain’t doing right
missed calls on my cellular
it’s on the regular
keepin those things out of sight

can you tell me what I’m doing wrong
I don’t think im avoiding a fight
evading the imminent truth
like a shadow runnin from the light

so I’m gonna need you tonight 
but you won’t be there tomorrow 
the dusk it turns into the dawn
and lights a path i cannot follow
so I’m gonna miss you tonight
and every day until the end
i’ll be waiting on the same path
one day when you need a friend

I’m gonna need you tonight

january 3//your hand in mine - explosions in the sky

i made a song with a different sample every day in january for a week - this is track 3

I say “I’m not alright”
but you already know
and I don’t wanna fight 
so I just let it go
you look me straight up in my eyes and say
“be vulnerable”
you say that you can be the priest to my confessional

close your eyes, hold tight 
and let the water in
you tried to tell me that the truth can be a healthy sin
just let it cleanse your lungs and maybe you can breathe again
and when your voice returns then maybe you can make amends 
[…]

I don’t wanna say I’m sorry that the time’s lost
but now I know every second comes with a high cost
every minute’s a dollar it’ll wasted if you
scroll for too long or you swipe past too many faces and
the hour’s gone and the day is already night
so you hold on to every week and one day you’re holding too tight, so
let go and breathe a little 
I know it’s easier said
try not to let the moment pass you instead

january 4//october passed me by - girl in red

i made a song with a different sample every day in january for a week - this is track 4

it’s a sad day for sure
rain callin out your name, of course
bottles empty, no need to buy some more
the sky is falling, it’s about to pour

it’s a sad day for sure
we’re all sick but I can find a cure
scary weather, I can brave the storm
just tell me what you want, I need more
[…]

january 5//sad day - fka twigs

i made a song with a different sample every day in january for a week - this is track 5

honestly, you’re not wrong
when you ask me
“can’t you turn off your phone?” 
you been scrolling for God knows how long
I was probably scrolling when i made this song

honestly I don’t feel right
sittin watching netflix almost like every night
can you tell me what to do cause I think that I might
be addicted to my screen, yeah I need that blue light
