Shortcomings

I don't know, I just made some sounds that I thought sounded pretty cool, apart from the first track, I didn't make that, but I thought it fit very well in here. Gonna go to Ihop in like 10 min, peace!

Nascent is about becoming.

The desire to become a better human being, longing to actively participate in the world around you, striving to actualize your potential, and finding meaning in this process. Over the past 4 years, these have all been things I've struggled to bring to fruition due to my own shortcomings. Nascent is the embodiment of all the emotions which emerged from this struggle.

Writing this album eventually became a source of this conflict. As I created the music which was supposed to help me find peace, I watched the rest of my life begin to atrophy. In many ways, Nascent is also about the writing process and its consequences. Despite this, I would like to believe I've come out the other end having grown because of it.

I am changing. I am learning to be willing, learning to take the shackles off. Who I am and who I want to be are starting to feel like the same person. It's been an insane journey and I am so grateful for it. Thank you everyone for your enduring support and patience. I hope this music finds a place in your life.

An EP about our collective sin and shortcomings. Written and produced by Jacques Dugué.

Acedia

"Shortcomings" explores Marcello Morgueta's mind, the satirical, irreverent, whiny, flawed, and at times distraught crevices that make it up. As his self-produced debut, it also demonstrates his knack for pop melodies and studio craftsmanship, playing and performing every sound on the record himself, and prides its imperfections. .

I didn't make this song, Original song: Dont look at me with those eyes- Kikuo

Dont look at me with those eyes (intro)

The very first Lofi track I produced, it kind of sparked the whole album, with clips from Steins;gate I kind of just tried to replicate of any generic lofi song you be hearing these days

Save her

I really don't like this track, I think it's annoying, but I decided why not put it in here,

annoying kid

Why 17? Cuz it's my house number, this one I spent a lot of time on, trying to figure out how chords work

Me starting to explore different sounds, the intense vibe fits in with the DBZ clip, hence the name with the intense vibe "oh no"

O no

//

I want
more than a moment
I want a future

I want more than a moment
I am all that I’ve been
I want a future
living in the present, I’ve
let it all go passing by

Yes I Know

How long have you been missing
Can you make it through one more winter
Diminished by the frost & cold
How much sunlight do your branches hold

You're always headed home too soon
If you could only form a new cocoon
To be molded from a different cast
With no recollection of the past

Hope's not a wish that you hide in your heart
It's pulling fire from a dying spark
It's a hand to hold yours through the dark

Do you ever feel like breaking out
Prison bars made from guilt & doubt
Can you grow yourself a different skin
That's as honest as you've ever been

You can call me when you just can't win
You can tell a different story than
The story that's been told to you
We can help each other see this through

Shortcomings 

A Hand To Hold In The Dark

The party's almost over but I don't feel like going home
Your last Christmas in the city, we don't have to be alone
The apartment's gotten colder without a heart to keep it warm
The radiator's frozen

Hell if I'll ever know
What you're doing now or where you go
If I never see you again
Will I ever be forgiven

Do you want to take a ride? We can talk until we're sleepy
We can drive to your parents' house thirty miles out in the country
In the glow of the stereo, your face is so pretty
The song was "Two Of Us On The Run"

Hell if I'll ever know
Who you're talking to or where you go
If I never see you again
Will I ever be forgiven

I'm still holding your fingers
The scent of dried sweat & faint liquor
I would have kept some of those promises
If I could only remember
You were Sancho Panza
Tilting at windmills you would never see
I was Jason Bourne in the sequel
Burning pictures of Marie

Night Of The Woeful Countenance

A smile you never show
Don't give anyone a clue
No one else should know how much anything can mean to you

Sometimes you get so weak
There are nights where you can't tell
If you can even speak to the flames inside your hell

The beauty of a timer
Is you don't have to pull a trigger
Baby I'm a detonator of explosions in the winter

The secrets that you keep
The voices you can't name
The morning brings you sleep & I'll never be the same

Detonator

I'd wait for you but I think you're over it
Nothing I could do would be enough
I'd look for you but I can't handle it
The ghost of you just hurts my heart too much

Five reasons that your parents said
That I was a man of little consequence
Four thousand miles from my house to yours
Three weeks spent sleeping on your floor
Two years following a dream that ends
With a few cold lines of chat messages
I don't care if you keep the ring
But I don't want you to send it back to me

Why do I care, why do I give a shit
I was never gonna save you from your fear
I'd take you back if you could swim a bit
I'm not gonna drown in someone else's tears

Five reasons that your parents said
That I was only gonna be your friend
Four thousand miles flying to your door
Three weeks spent lying on your floor
Two nights in the mountains of Tennessee
Dreaming you were coming home to me
I don't care if you keep the ring
But I don't want you to forget me

Anyong & On

The release of this piece is also an announcement that I am in the process of creating my debut album, which includes and is represented by Cycles. It’s a long road ahead, but I want to thank everyone who has shown their support thus far. I can promise you the end result will be honest, captivating, and sincerely unlike anything you’ve heard before — this is just the beginning.
