An earlyish version of my cover of Window by Cherax Destructor. Kind of totally different to the finished one.

Made for Busty's, a fortnightly music competition where the next theme is voted on at the end of each bust. This week's theme was "Excrutiating Bliss" (sic) and there's only one Bliss I know.

Made entirely with Windows XP samples apart from my voice ^_^

Lyrics:
find me in the taskbar
do you want to start something
do you want to explore the web
or are you scared you might install the wrong thing

I'll give you information popups
I'll put the world on your desktop
when it's time to make something 
this experience can be your workshop


renovate your computer 
help protect your PC
click the update button
you could have optional drivers
you could be an insider
yeah, click me right there


type all of the things you want
I can be your digital servant
I can help you feel assertive
our relation should be perverted
 
anyone else should be a non-starter
artificially intelligent partner
I'm a twenty thousand mega biter
you could be a new territory charter


help protect your computer 
if you love your PC
click the update button
you could have optional drivers
you could be an insider
yeah, click me right there


how can I assist you?!
give me something to do!
I'm the best for business
unlock the world of digital media
or I can help you send an email
I'll be here if you need me


What you see behind me is the first in a series of screens designed to help you make sure that your computer is set up the way you want.
Each screen will ask you to make a choice or type some information, or it will advise you about what to do next.


type all of the things you want
(how can I assist you?!)
I can be your digital servant
(give me something to do!)
I can help you feel assertive
(I'm the best for business)
our relation should be perverted
 
anyone else should be a non-starter
(unlock the world of digital media)
artificially intelligent partner
(or I can help you send an email)
I'm a twenty thousand mega biter
(I'll be here if you need me)
you could be a new territory charter


find me in the taskbar
do you want to start something
do you want to explore the web
or are you scared you might install the wrong thing

I'll give you information popups
I'll put the world on your desktop
when you're feeling disconnected
let me rest upon your laptop

Made for Busty's, a fortnightly music competition where the next theme is voted on at the end of each bust. This is from a few months ago now, the theme was "Breaking News" and this seemed appropriate. Sorry.

A cover of Window, from Lost No Longer by Cherax Destructor. Check that out here: https://cheraxdestructor.bandcamp.com/album/lost-no-longer

I released it as a video over a year ago, but I never put it here. :)

This is a year old now (released as a music video on YouTube on 2024/11/12).

mmm...skyscraper

Lyrics:
after six weeks, maybe you should be better
after six months, maybe you should be better
you wish you’d had some better timing
you wish you’d had some better timing
you wish


now you wander around the pocket
and you dream about the future
now you’re back in bed
to dream for years more


you wish the skyscrapers would hug you
you wish your friends could live inside your soul
you want to win
you want to finish what you started but you won’t
you don’t want another chance


didn’t think you’d make it this far
but it wasn’t far enough
but you're far enough 
moving on with your life is a better offer
and now you’re free to be the author
is it worth destroying yourself
just to finish what you started
or be discarded
you saved each moment in your notepad
you know you gave it all you had

didn’t think you’d make it this far
but it wasn’t far enough
but you're far enough 
moving on with your life is a better offer
and now you’re free to be the author
is it worth destroying yourself
just to finish what you started
or be discarded
you saved each moment in your notepad
you know you gave it all you had


go to sleep
you’ve been working hard for far too long
you can’t think about another song
all that matters is this failure
all that matters is this failure

so, tomorrow, you’ll figure out your options
the planet hungers for servitude or wash-ups


now you wander around the pocket
and you dream about the future
now you’re back in bed
to dream for years more


didn’t think you’d make it this far
but it wasn’t far enough
but you're far enough 
moving on with your life is a better offer
and now you’re free to be the author
is it worth destroying yourself
just to finish what you started
or be discarded
you saved each moment in your notepad
you know you gave it all you had

didn’t think you’d make it this far
but it wasn’t far enough
but you're far enough 
moving on with your life is a better offer
and now you’re free to be the author
is it worth destroying yourself
just to finish what you started
or be discarded
you saved each moment in your notepad
you know you gave it all you had

(now you wander around the pocket)
didn’t think you’d make it this far
but it wasn’t far enough
but you're far enough 
moving on with your life is a better offer
and now you’re free to be the author
(and you dream about the future)
is it worth destroying yourself
just to finish what you started
or be discarded
you saved each moment in your notepad
you know you gave it all you had

(now you’re back in bed)
didn’t think you’d make it this far
but it wasn’t far enough
but you're far enough
(to dream for years more)
moving on with your life is a better offer
and now you’re free to be the author
is it worth destroying yourself
just to finish what you started
or be discarded
you saved each moment in your notepad
you know you gave it all you had ❤️

i wish the skyscrapers would hug me
