hook
I paint the sky in all the colors of my mind 
Hoping that something will catch light and shine
hoping that something will pull me up and 
and around out this time

verse 1
grab the crayon box 
a handful will be enough 
wipe your hands clean 
and don’t dirty up the concrete 
look up then down and around
a single bird not to be found
that’s okay, that’s okay
draw everything that’s in your brain 
and get it out in front of you
Your fingers will tell you what to do
shoe stains and bandaids
tripping over laces, midnight games 
blurred out faces 
regurgitate for the erasing

Hook
Post chorus
like green purple yellow
the corners of my mind say hello
blue green and orange 
take a sponge and absorb it / then squeeze
the excess 
mop it up to see what’s left 
A Jackson Polluck kind of mess
art from chaos works best

verse 2
clean off / your brush 
dip in / watch the water blush
from nothing to saturation 
and empty to some creation 
how tightly are the colors woven together
how tightly goes your chest when you remember
red blue yellow 
primary colors let go 

the scent of synthetic strawberry 
the taste of week old cookies 
the feel of brand new upholstery 
The weight of disappointment settling 
blurry blurry watery 
smeared by time wasted you think
still don’t forget to breathe and breathe and breathe

[verse 1]
august 28th 
you said that’d be the day/ 
worth anticipating but 
on august 28th 
you turned around and nothing ever happened 
cause nothing / ever happens 

so i guess I’m fine 
and I guess we’re done 
cause it was just a game and I guess I lost and I guess you won 
(so) congratulations 
you did it again 
made me fall for / something you nev/  er even promised 

[prechorus] 
predictable as always 
some kindness is all that it takes 
to set off fireworks 
though in the end, I always get /burnt 
but shiny things look nice 
so i didn’t /think twice

[chorus]
책임 좀 줘요 (take responsibility)
너 때문이었어 (it's your fault)
So I say / when I fall again 
제발 하지마 (please don't)
그 눈빛 that smile  (your eyes/gaze)
look away
I can’t look away     

[post chorus] 
Cause I / never hesitate 
To try / to play the game again 
Fool me once, shame on you 
Fool me twice, shame on me 
But august 28th 
I keep expecting a different ending

[verse 2]  
Is it a fairy tale?
Should it have been a fairy tale? 
Dragons, monsters, royalty, lovers 
Get out your head, silly girl 
Cause it’s the real world 
And there’s no Prince Charming 
Any idea you had of romance is disarming 
The truth / that you / messed up / again 
Fell for a stranger / rather than a friend
And it’s all severed / and that’s the end 
There’s no part two / or epilogue / 
Get off the high of the story 
Cause you’re still standing here with nothing 

They said don’t run into the fire 
But you tried / don’t fly towards the sun
Still you fashioned some wings believing 
There was something worth / saving 
In the shiniest thing / before your eyes 
surprise / the glue fell off / so why
Do you cry / do you smile through the pain
Then do it again and again / 

Chorus
Post Chorus 

Outro
Why, why 
Every single time
Why, why, whyyyy

was singing along to tiffany young's 'magnetic moon' and realized that it sounded super cool with minor notes and then realized that it could be a song by a werewolf (cause the moon) and so here's my spooky remake of 'magnetic moon'

cover art by: gabrielle kershaw (portfolio: https://gmkershaw.tumblr.com)
original song by tiffany young: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM_t7Y8gBwU

magnetic moon [tiffany young], werewolf ver.

Zsunder on youtube made a video about how to make an ITZY song so I made a top line (melody + lyrics) over it! 

Here's the video where he explains how he made the track:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xtqFAM6s6o

And here's lyrics: 

[intro]
me am I 
I don’t care  
if you try
watch me just flip my hair 

me am I 
I don’t care 
cause I’m the / best in here 

[verse 1]
you say that you’re bored 
don’t feel it anymore 
i got a new thing 
to get your body moving

chin up, eye contact 
you’re royalty, smack 
all the doubts a/way``

[rap]
every where’s my dance floor
strike a pose never seen before 
let your inhibitions go
like na na na na na

close your eyes, let the music fill
you up with a golden thrill
cause you got it, royalty fit,
crown dripping ultraviolet 

[chorus] 
걱정하지마  
잘 될 꺼야 
i promise (hey)
we’ll get through it (hey) 
걱정하지마 
cause we were born to fly 
higher and faster / than airplanes in the sky 

[post chorus]
cause me am i
and i don’t care 
when you say how
i’ll never make it  /  out of here 

cause me am i
And it’s a shame 
that you’re wasting your time hating on me

[rap]
slow it down with me 
do you feel the beat
it’s running up and down your whole spine
silver buttons making you shine bright

cause when you’re out your head 
everything that you dread goes 
crim/son/ red /autumn leaves all crush-ed 

[prechorus]
cause you feel it / moving down your body
cause you feel it / going like ooh lah lah
cause you feel / spinning out and out and out and out and out

[chorus] 

[bridge????]
cause me and i 
the sky line
i don’t care if you say i can’t 
i’m not icarus, won’t fall flat  

cause i and me
we are destiny 
don’t you dare speak 
unless it’s thank you / sorry / 
autograph, please 

[bridge 2???]
fly away, we gonna fly away 
far from this dark place 
come on let’s levitate
i and me, me and i 
gonna take our place up in the sky 

[chorus] 

[outro]

ME AM I (ITZY style top line)

BTS' most recent track "Dynamite" is such a bright summer song, I wanted to try to reinterpret it differently. So here's my take on "Dynamite" which, like almost every other rap song I've shared so far, is about ~friendship~ 

Korean translations in the parentheses! 

Lyrics: 
 
I’ll be like dynamite 
I’ll be like dynamite

Verse 1
Not feeling too good, stuck in your head 
Is what you tell me day during breakfast 
But still, a smiling emoji
Cause you can’t be too serious, see
Though I know / that’s not / really reality 
Somehow social media made a texting courtesy
But hey friend, it’s okay when  
You want to just speak honestly 

사람이잖아 (you're a person)
원래 사람이잖아 (in the end, you're a person)

So just let / it all out
It’s okay if you frown
I promise to not leave
Whenever you need me

괜찮아 (it's okay)
진짜 괜찮아 (really, it's okay)

So sit back and relax
Cause this friend’s got your back
Whenever you need me,
Just call me

Hook
I’ll be like dynamite
Bursting on the darkest night
Cause when the lights go out, without a doubt
I’ll shine so bright, you won’t need a night light  
 
Cause nitroglycerin, sorbents, and stabilizers
Are all you need to cook up a simple way to 
Light up / shine out / 
Glittering / out loud 
Changing the night sky 
With some dynamite  

Bridge
필요 할 때 (when you need me)
그냥 연락해 (just call me)
난 계속 니 옆에  있으니까 (because i'm almost next to you)
너무 걱정하지마 (don't worry)

dynamite, BTS remix

we're a week away from halloween! to get into spooky szn i'll be sharing some song flips that are more minor/dark/spooky. first up, BLACKPINK's "lovesick girls" 

I'm really happy with how this turned out! I did all the instrumentation and rearranged the song as well as adding in a new part (the prechorus). and it all started from finding the 'italo disco patterns' on GarageBand to get a vibe. ah, exploring sounds. truly the best.

LOVESICK GIRLS [BLACKPINK] but dark disco

made this fun song using a loop Wind Meets West made along with my friend @gigi_colette 

Lyrics:
[hook]
Let the rain in London
Touch you
Hold you
Inspire you
Gravity can't hold us down
We'll dance to our laughter
Let the rain in London
Crown you
Saint you
Renew you
Another day is on its way
So, hold on...

[verse]
There’s / rain in London, it’s sudden 
The drops open the sky 
Me and my cousin were running groceries right at the time
And then the willows were pillows for the tears the sky cried

And the city became blurry like a lullaby 
Edges softened, melted butter for pastries and I 
In that moment felt the edge of being so alive
And the mundane became something to be inspired by 

Cause this isn’t home, but could it be
The river, the sky, and the buildings
Stretching upwards to breathe
Grounded in history
Watered by the ups and downs of legacy 

Cause Seattle rain or San Fran precipitation
Doesn’t hold this kind of connotation
So rain rain, don’t go away 
Cause this feels like the start of a story 

[hook]

[outro]
Drip, drop 
As we walk
On our head and our hands, the rain just wants to talk
Like hey
Are ya feeling okay? 
Just came by to wish you a good day

Rain in London ft Gigi Colette

I last shared a collection of songs in 2018 and, well, needed to refresh and update what I've been up to. There's some similar themes to "decent" but also sonically I've experimented more and this feels like a more accurate picture of what I'm doing.

fire alarm/ tang tang tang

a handful of songs on love: falling into it, recovering from it, thinking about it, experiencing it.

if it is

tell me you still love me

perfectly

i like ur brain (voice note)

a k-indie twist on the song "green tea & honey" by dane amar and jereena montemayor

따뜻한 녹차 처럼
꿀 보다 더 달콤/한 lover
그렇게 되는지 
가끔씩 궁금하지 
그래도 ‘ 몰라도 ‘ 괜찮아 
넌 날 사랑하니까

be my
green tea in the morning 
sunshine
sweeter than honey 
cause I 
love the warm and the lovely 
and babe you’re both and more to me
and I wonder I wonder / sometimes 
The Who what where and why / cause
I’m just a simple person
and you’re a star
And out of all of these millions
you somehow went after my heart 

두근 두근 
이런 느낌 
두근 두근 
and it’s not just caffeine 
두근 두근 
이번에 뭔가 달라 / 달라

Green Tea & Honey | k-indie version
