Bags Of Mostly Verdant Electrons  (disquiet0661)

Walls remember the lives that passed by

[Verse]
I’m chasing shadows in a room full of light,
Trying to be everything you like.
I make the dinner, take the kids to school,
But it never feels like I’m breaking through.

I see the way you look when she walks by,
I hear the silence when I ask why.
I could climb to the moon, but it won’t compare,
To the spell that she casts when she’s standing there.

[Chorus]
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
No one else can take your world.
I’m just a breath, she’s the storm,
And in your eyes, I’m never more.

I’m always here, but you look away,
Because she’s the one who makes you stay.
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
And I’ll never be your favorite pearl.

[Verse]
I change my hair, I change my style,
I take the garbage out, I walk the miles.
I feel so small, like I’m made of glass,
And every moment with him, it breaks so fast.

I laugh at your jokes, try to make you see,
But your eyes never turn back to me.
I’m left in the corner, a silent prayer,
While you float to her like she’s the air.

[Chorus]
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
No one else can take your world.
I’m just a breath, she’s the storm,
And in your eyes, I’m never more.

I’m always here, but you look away,
Because she’s the one who makes you stay.
There’s nothing like this mesmerizing girl,
And I’ll never be your favorite pearl.

[Outro]
I’ve been the echo to your voice,
But you’ve already made your choice.
No matter how I try to shine,
You’ll never see this heart of mine.

Mesmerizing Girl [Edit]

Disquiet Junto 668 ("All Right Then, Keep Your Secrets") challenged us to record a 30-second bit of audio and warp, twist, layer, and disguise it, ensuring that the secret of the source sound will never be revealed.

Every sound in my piece derives from my secret source audio. The recording I started with was neither tonal nor rhythmic, so I sure did set myself up right from the start. I had to commit some crimes with convolution reverbs using novel impulse response samples to get tones. I used a super-sensitive noise gate to chop up the arrhythmic audio into bits that I could then sample as individual instruments to assign in a drum machine.

I set out to make something beautiful, which I don't think I accomplished, but I think it's at least interesting. And I got a great workout in the studio, busting my brain, so that's worthwhile on its own.

Please enjoy "The Secret Chord" calmly and without any sudden movements.
