My take on Toby Fox's Fallen Down; a song that plays at the very beginning of Undertale when a refreshing idea reveals itself to the veteran rpg connoisseur: there is no need to destroy everything in your way. The song is played on a piano tuned in a way that it sounds detuned. 

However, instead of evoking feelings of repulsion in the player, it gives the song an extra hearty layer of warmth. At this point, the player character - a child - is acquainted with a goat-like creature going by the name of Toriel that cares so much about the child that it is willing to commit acts of violence. So it seems.

The perfectly out of tune-ish piano amplified this comfy situation and it vibrated exactly on the same frequency of my desire to make my guitar sound wobbly to an almost comical point.

No offence, but this is the most fun I've ever had playing music, ever since playing the first detuned note on my first tuned guitar. No offence.

"Woke up with freedom on my tongue
Hasn’t always been there
Hasn't always been there 
It’s what I dreamed when I was young
Didn’t think I’d get there
Didn't think I’d get there

I was promised the earth
if I just play safe
and do as they say, they’re like

You don’t know what it’s worth
You don’t know right from wrong
So I just soldiered on,
so I just soldiered on

I’m walking with new freedom in my feet
It could take me anywhere
I don't need to be anywhere

How could having everything
leave me lone and longing
In the light of everything
I was left with nothing

I was promised the earth
if I just play safe
and do as they say, they’re like

You don’t know what it’s worth
You better hold your tongue
So I just soldiered on,
so I just soldiered on

Mrs Hollowbody
keep your distance from me
in my memory I’ll keep a
picture of you

(It was a pleasure talking to you
talking to you)"

I write and produce music. I like video games too. They comfort me. If you listen to my music, I appreciate you. If you don't, I understand.
