My 20 favourite Soundcloud-Native tracks of the year

Best Of 2023

@e-veryday

e-verynight is a track created through a long game of musical telephone. The intention of the game is to compose a piece of music out of a series of short audio clips from a group of people. We formed a long chain of people, and created musical gestures based on the sound from the previous person in the chain, without having heard any of the other sounds. It is similar to exquisite corpse, but with sound.

Started and completed in one day for the 1 year anniversary of e-veryday, October 2022.

_________________________________
(do you remember me?)

hold it close to you
broken bowed a new
i thought this was life
watch the thread unwind

we were in zion that summer
i was still trying to breathe
watch it corrode the isomers
everything i couldn't keep

all the nights that we spent being young
the copper rocks under our feet
the pastures never felt so wrong
up in flames your favorite evergreen

pull the needle through
laces lorn the center

i promise i wasn't crying
there was just smoke in my eyes
holding you until the morning
i'd fall in and out of the fire
wreathed in hollow ivory
christened collows bedaubing 

and i saw your body covered in roses 
and i started screaming, nobody noticed
the locket you gave me thread intertwined
tearing taut at the seams when it started unwinding 
i fell out the trunk of your dad's four wheel drive 
and we laughed it off when we called it a night
through the laurels and brushweeds we walked side by side
god you were so pretty even when we were crying 
cus' the rust started falling i ran out of time 
watch the world invert into infrared light 
lying lithe on the duff dying embers dissolving 
the smoke in my lungs couldn't stop me from calling your name
but i, (2x)

13 writers putting pen to paper, 65 musicians composing pieces inspired by their writing, and 26 visual artists tying everything together with a cover illustration. From April 23rd to May 13th, 2023, these 104 creatives came together with one goal: to tell a story. The result amounted to thirteen beautiful tracks, rich with emotion, excitement, and wonder.

Stories take on infinitely many forms. A child's drawing. A home-cooked meal. A recount of the day given by someone returning home to their spouse. They do not have to be written, nor spoken with any amount of poetry or decorative language; they simply exist. Here's to the stories we tell. Whether written, drawn, or sang, whether a fantastic fable or a solemn look into the human experience, they all carry weight. We have no greater obligation than to simply tell them in whatever way we know how. 

All proceeds from Storybook: Chapter 2 will be donated to Active Minds, an organization supporting mental health awareness and education for young adults.

Wobbly Jellyfish His Highness Over All, dances a tango with the swirled octopus twirled in the murky depths of the fandango sea
Mister Bubblegum Machine whirs and churns, spitting out his sugary treats into the waiting hands of eager children...
OH NO
A symphony of joy, through candy-wrappered sunlight!
CAST THE CHILDREN'S SAVOR TO SWEETEN THEIR CONFECTIONS, imagination lit up with soaring eyes!!
('cause tha-... that's what they said at least~)

Thank you, Mister Bubblegum Machine!  Generosity necessitance is tragic, yet our broken system else rendered useless!
The duo balleting synchronous mesmerance, forest inhabitants admiring with wider eyes...
And so, that's the way!
Reminder's pleased, take another try at disagreement and you'll see where you're right!

Crescendo sea twirls unison 'mong rhythm coral...
Carousel Tim says to him, "How ya do?  I've eaten much these years, and yet I still need more!"
(HOW YA DO?  I've eaten SO MUCH these years, and yet I STILL NEED MORE!!)

Deep within the heart of towering stalagmites
Lay a realm of creatures who chorused luminescence
Puzzle carpet sliding with patterned joy!

Happy ruins thrived with whimsical adornments
Whisp'ring every corners with immersion entertainments
An invitation striking their blooming strides!

Lyrics:

evils on the loose ! it knows a guy who knows a guy
we act united by a flag that you shit on behind its back
timmy never went to college cus his heads in molten lava
pray for peace and fall to pieces , where the fuck is your god now ?
i ran out of lemons to make something out of life
cus if nuance is a citrus then ive squeezed them all dry
deafen proof and threaten truth , lest my tongue tie
if you know you know and if you dont—

im so wholesome ! im rockin both sides
everybody loves me ! i dont play nice
stand by , let the magic happen
shut your mouth 'til you get your reaction
trade my shame for a high horse
and i ride it like the strangers id die for
i know its lame , you can cry more
fame is an eyesore
bait to the right more

and theres blood running up my nose
a faux throne had overthrown its tone 4 years ago
had to call it sanity , abstain from profanity
youre not mature , its reactionary but we dont need to talk abou-
lat'isfn hassa akuu harami
everyone lost everything , you call it dirty laundry
'cause your fingers dont deatomize before your very eyes
you stroke 'em cross the keyboard kicking down for cash , i die inside

i know im a hypocrite but its ecstasy
youre all evil like me it's our destiny
to learn the hard way the middle grounds a waste of energy
if you do it cus we're besties then i hope we're mortal enemies
and i get it , you wanna keep your friends
being wrongs a ghost town , youre scared of residence
but when it creeps up on you dont look for my hand
cus itll only happen again
and again and again and again and again and again and again

im in between
i bend to the right

from the safety of the center , youd return to your sender; satan told you so
learned from 2001 to turn your back on us once more
scared they mourn in their brazen bull of a home on a plot you can dream to own
with glued feet , you pledge allegiance to a name that isnt yours

are you not ashamed
you let things stay the same
turn a blind eye to it and pray youll get your grace

howd you live this way
some monsters cant be tamed
get defensive and laugh but the proof is in your face

so ive been needing space
leave your shelter entertained
theres always prey for you to chase

i no longer feel safe
some things god forbid i say
ill just slowly tiptoe out
i know a better place

dont cry now ! wasnt it fun ?
