One Trick Pony

Intro
"We need to redo it to... have a younger girl's voice!"

Verse 1
You call me a one trick pony
But I’ve got more than just baloney
I juggle stars, I dance on air.
Try keeping up, If you dare!

Chorus
One trick pony, that's what you see.
But there's a circus hiding in me.
Jump the ring, watch me spin.
This show’s just about to begin.

Verse 2
You think I’m stuck in my own groove.
Watch me shake, I’ve got the moves.
I’m a firework, a thunderstorm.
Not just a pony in uniform.

Prechorus
"Step back!".
"Hold tight!"
"You ain’t seen my full height!"

Chorus
One trick pony that's what you see.
But there's a circus hiding in me.
Jump the ring, watch me spin.
This show’s just about to begin.

Bridge
Spotlight hits.
The crowd goes wild!
"One trick? Nah, I’m versatile!"
"I’m a lion, I’m a bird."
"More than a label, that’s absurd!"

"Did you know that madness grows in the darkness, in the shadows?"  

Oh...how did I manage to get the sound of vinyl cue burn into the intro to this track?  ;)  

First things first, this is not a political song--at all.  The track talks about the feeling of emotional quarantine, social quarantine--nothing to do with those rare times when an uncontained global pandemic (let's say) makes temporary quarantines, for public health, appropriate (and good.)  

This is a surprisingly cheery song for such a theme full of dark vibes.  (Why so dark?  Well, it COULD be that I'm getting my head in the right place for some Interbay tracks to celebrate spooky week.  But, I'll be honest--I didn't need any help getting my head into a dark place.  

This is one of what seems to be a recent trend where Interbay tracks are more personal than they have been.  I do feel like I'm quarantined--that I don't see people, don't go out, don't do much of anything (other than puttering away down in the Labs on Interbay stuff, of course.)  And, it is starting to really get to me--the isolation, the loneliness.  Combine that with a hamster wheel of a brain that is spinning at ludicrous speed, all of the time...and this is both a cry for help and a cry for some peace of mind.  

(That may be a BIT dramatic--but I am a member of the International Society of Thespians, after all.)  

This track started with a strange chord progression, paired with a strange future pop instrumentation for those chords.  Add some Gloom drums (no kidding--the plugin I used is called "Gloom") and a live bass...and you have...a mess--no, that's not what I was going to say.  You have...obviously...Interbay.  

I was also inspired by "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel w/Kate Bush...in that most of the song is slow, then right at the end, the tempo goes up--lead by a strong bassline.  I did that here--but, as usual, I pushed it to the extreme.  (This is one of my favorite basslines--and despite my wanting to keep this track under five minutes, I daren't cut this part out of the track.  

It might not be purely thematic, but maybe it's hopeful?  Yeah...I'll go with that.  Hopeful!  

As always, I'd like to thank you in advance for giving "Quarantine" a listen, a like...bonus, if you repost it, share it, add it to a playlist...and, if you want to leave a comment--that's cool too!  

I definitely encourage you to follow this page!  Whatever my mood might be, I find a way to post a brand new Interbay track EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!  We're well over 500 consecutive days and counting!)  The price of admission is just clicking the follow button!  (I mean, I suppose you don't HAVE to even do that--you can just come back here every day to listen to what's new, but wouldn't it be easier to follow the page?  ;) )

"Quarantine" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

An energetic and uplifting J-Pop anthem about chasing dreams and stepping into a bright new day. Inspired by classic 2000s anime openings filled with funky pop grooves, radiant melodies, and pure optimism.

Some moments never turn into stories, they just stay with you.
Almost is about that spark that never quite becomes anything, the tension before the kiss, the silence that says everything.

Breathy vocals over groovy bass and retro synths make it feel like a memory replaying under dim lights, part confession, part dance floor daydream.
The sound of what could’ve been.

💫 For the ones who know that “almost” can haunt harder than goodbye.

Lyrics:

The lights were low but you didn’t leave

The couch still warm from other bodies
Your jacket on the floor
You sat too close but said nothing
I didn’t move but I knew

You reached for the bottle
But touched my hand instead

Almost
In the way we held our breath
In the way the room got quiet
Like we knew what came next
Not a kiss
But the shape of one
We stayed right there
And let it hang

Your laugh was softer than before
Like you didn’t want to break it
You looked at me like maybe
I was already yours
But you never said it

The song in the next room kept playing
But I couldn’t hear it

Almost
In the way you didn’t ask
In the way I didn’t answer
Like we knew we couldn’t last
Not a touch
But close enough
To feel the heat and let it happen

The door was open
I could’ve gone
You could’ve moved
But we just sat and burned a little

Almost
No promise
No regret
Just the night we almost happened
And the part we don’t forget
Not love
But close enough
To call it something
We never said

I left
You stayed
And it stayed with me

Almost

Degen De-Evolution
Reidmoto: Lyrics & Producer

[Verse 1 – Female]
 I don’t know what’s happening to me?
 It doesn’t seem real — am I imagining glee?
 When I see you from afar I get this maddening need,
 To start drifting your way — you’re my emotional weed.

I don’t care what you’re doing,
 or what my boss will say,
 I need to slide into your forcefield
feel the power of your masculinity!

[Pre-Chorus]
 I think I’m in reverse evolution.
 You’re my one and only solution.
 I’m so scared of devolving into a monkey —
 Then next, a dumb ol’ braying donkey!

[Chorus]
 I’ve become such a Degen for you.
Let’s stay in bed all weekend, LIGHT FLAMES!
Like only we can do! 
Let’s have a marathon binge — let’s get unhinged!
Live like there’s no tomorrow, at the edge of the fringe!

[Bridge]
 My mind’s gone to mush, my will’s collapsing.
 Dopamine surging, synapses snapping.
 I need to get a grip — oh, sweet Hosanna!
 Before I evolve into a single cell amoeba!
 And end up modeling for Nano Banana!

No puedo, mi Papi! Ay, cariño!

[Breakdown – Spoken / flirt-rant style]
 You call that evolution? Please.
 I’ve turned into goo over your pretty face.
 You smell like risk and crypto fumes —
 And I like it.

 Maybe I need sex therapy.
 Nah, talk to me nasty and syrupy!
 Oh lord, I’m beyond hope —
 So tie me down with your dopamine rope!

[Final Chorus – Elevated / Playful Reprise]
 I’ve become such a Degen for you!
 Trading my brain for your déjà vu.
 Let’s lose control, and scroll and scroll —
 Through new hot kinks, we create on a roll!

[Outro – Spoken / Fade]
 "You’re insane! I know. Evolution’s overrated.
What now?
 Him: Let’s devolve together, baby.
 Her (laughing): Ugh. You’re impossible.
 Him: I’m a Dejen… for you.

Now that we've got that straight...

I'm a songwriter and musician, have played in bands, play mostly guitar, and a bit of keyboards, but my primary passion is writing songs--creating cool songs that people can relate to. 

I like to write songs that have meaning and emotional impact, but try to also include some humor in them to make it not so serious and heavy. 

I hope you enjoy some of the songs.
