30 Day Song Challenge 2025

Day 1 of the June challenge. Trying to make ocean waves on the hydrasynth followed by other shenanigans.

Day 1 - Galactic Ocean Long Haul

Day 2 - Insomnia

The wreck slept for centuries. Silent. Hollow. A forgotten relic on a forgotten moon.

But then—an echo. A faint, unfamiliar presence entering through a fracture in the hull.

A probe bot, lost, uncertain, it moved through the derelict ship as if drawn by some unspoken instinct.

And the ship... felt it. An ancient heartbeat quickened. Lights flickered. Power lines hummed. Long-dormant systems jolted awake—not with fear, but with recognition. This was no scavenger. This was the signal. The variable. The spark..

Buried deep, something remembered. A mission. A war. A last, unfinished hope. Not a weapon, but a chance. Still sealed. Still waiting.

The probe did not yet know why it had come.  But the ship did.

And in that moment, after centuries of silence—purpose and hope, long extinguished, flickered into being.

Day 3 - Forgotten Memories

More game type stuff, with gunslinger guitar.

Day 4 - Threat

Day 5 - Endurance



DAY 16 (30 Day Song Challenge)

Many apologies again...

LYRICS
--------
I couldn't make
a song today
I just dunno
what I'm doin'
I couldn't make
a song today
Now my life is
in ruin

I guess I'll
try tomorrow
And start again some way
I couldn't make
a song today

Time got away


Couldn't Make A Song Today Pt 2

Noise

Squeakin' thru, right on time!

Up to the wire, not a lot of time
Sands of the hourglass slippin' thru my mind
Countdown to midnight, it's comin' fast
Gotta bust my ass

I was down here earlier
It wasn't flowing
So I left it, I let it go and
Baby had a beer
And now she's back again
Homage to Brian* and other victims 

This'd be a great place
To expand the story
But the clock is tickin'
For blood or glory

Ain't got time to flesh it out
So you gotta be satisfied 
With the way this exports out


* Wilson, RIP

16 - Squeakin' Thru



DAY 18 (30 Day Song Challenge)

Me and the gang recorded this in my garage back in '93 (probably)...

LYRICS

I couldn't make

I just dunno
what I'm doin'
I couldn't make

Now my life is
in ruin

I guess I'll

I couldn't make
a song today

Couldn't Make A Song Today Pt 4

"I'm gonna make some EDM!"
3 hours later I have completed 20 minutes of a 45 minute tutorial and have made 8 bars of drum and bass 🤣

I did this on my M8 and had to figure out some optimization workflows to bounce tracks down to keep things running lite. 5 drum elements squeezed onto 4 tracks, 3 bass tracks (I only have 8 tracks to work with!)

I kept the kick separate because you need to sidechain to it so often but am merging everything else down so 3 tracks total for drums+bass 😄💪

LYRICS:
--------

Life isn't more than what it seems
So sad you haven't dared to dream
Burn bright and use all of your means
A candle light is all we're deemed

capital-ism (Day 30 of 30 Day Song Challenge)

LYRICS
-------
We're not gonna make it...

We're not gonna make it
Forget how hard we climbed
Our turn is wasted 
And running low on time 

We're just gonna take it
A generation crime
We are forsaken
And running low on time

And running low on time...

There's just gotta be 
a better part for me
Than lose the lottery 
in this dichotomy

This just cannot be 
all that there is for me
An unknown entity 
lost in all of history

I know the fix is in 
and I was born with sin
A scarlet lettering 
since birth it's been fettering

I know I owe it all 
unto my death absolved
A fee that shackles me, 
wait until eternity

We're not gonna make it
Forget how hard we climbed
Our turn is wasted 
And running low on time 

We're just gonna take it
A generation crime
We are forsaken
And running low on time

We're not gonna make it
Forget how hard we climbed
Our turn is wasted 
And running low on time 

We're just gonna take it
A generation crime
We are forsaken
And running low on time

We're not gonna make it
Forget how hard we climbed
Our turn is wasted 
And running low on time

We're not gonna make it...
