Gleam Dream

A track about being picked last for pickup basketball games because I didn't get my growth spurt until I was 17 and nobody remembered that Muggsy Bogues was good enough to get into the NBA and I just wish people would've thought about that for a second before they decid-

"I'm supposedly Low in demand
You knew all the good ones would be taken
Just grab hold of me. I'll be your man
Just Believing, I'm a 10 out of 10."

Just Believing

[Lyrics]

Outrageous

[omniboi]
Tryna get over the kid you used to be
I barely know her. It feels like just last week
That I was lying to you saying everything's alright
It's mid-October, but I don't miss the sun
I'm finally sober. I realize nostalgia's a drug
I've been sick

This is hard, you've gotta believe me
I guess that's all I want you to know
Nobody ever said that it was gonna be easy
To unlearn all I think I know
But with one foot in front of the last
I'll walk away from my past
Cause you deserve better and so do I
You deserve better

Give you a minute so you can find your voice
Who am I kidding? Not like I have a choice
We're always complaining like we don't want the same thing

This is hard, you've gotta believe me
I guess that's all I want you to know
Nobody ever said that it was gonna be easy
To unlearn all I think I know
But with one foot in front of the last
I'll walk away from my past
Cause you deserve better and so do I
You deserve better

[Zeph]
It's funny how remembering all the reasons I hate you
Is the only remaining way I can say like you
Still
It hurt to call it love
I'm happier without you and I always made you doubt
Yourself and if we ever could turn it all around
Until
It became gentler to make push turn to shove

[omniboi]
We're too tired to fight
Let's just say goodbye

You deserve Better

Call It Love

Some songwriting and cameo on "Free" by r u s s e l b u c k - a real person, despite prior rumors - who gave me permission to do this silly bit for 0 dollars and 0 cents, so I humbly thank them. This song samples their track "Cellphone Tune" from their eponymous debut album in its entirety.

Western classical theory - and by extension a lot of "modern" (to y'all, I assume) pop music theory - is all a semi-racist lie anyways. There are many ways to explain why a song "works" and why rhythms and harmonies behave the way they do in context to the music. Take my analysis with a grain of salt.

Traditional MIDI ensemble on "Free" arranged by Endocrine Johansson

Some songwriting on "Free" by OpenAI Jukebox, which is true but I'm philosophically unsure if this needs to be credited

Originally created as my 1st ever 'BishBattle' for @welcome2bishu's stream. 
Original Title: (My First Bish' [BishBattle - "Future Tone Dubstep"] (7 19 23)

Each participant was given a few sounds from a sample pack and 2 hours to complete a 45 second track.

I wound up extending it and including it on my STORAGE SPACE 'B-SIDES' EP.
