I like the pedal tones you just threw in, reminded me a little of Dear Prudence. Your style reminds me of Jose Gonzalez. You're very talented.

What has he done for you, man? 
Built you a castle of sand
Watch it wash away
What has he given you, man? 
Given you a high place to stand
Watch it all come down

Run, man
Fast as you can

Heard you've been washed of your sin
And now your rebirth begins
But still the apple you taste
Heard you want to save my soul
Show me those streets paved with gold
Streets that lead to dead ends

Run, man
Fast as you can

He gives you the gun that blows you away
And false promises to rise in three days
A prisoner to what you heard
Deception is the holy word
Ignorance, the path you take
Let the rapture take you away

Run, man
Fast as you can

Musical Round Robin - Round One

This song is the result of a game of 'musical round robin'. We had 6 people participate, Soran Leif, Vulpz, Pax Libertas, tysongentry, Luddite, and LOHM. 

The rules:
Musical Round Robin is a game where each player takes turns adding stems to a track. The person that was first (Soran Leif) was instructed to create a stem of a single instrument or vocal that is around 30 seconds long. He decided the tempo, key, and time signature of the song. These elements were to remain the same throughout the entire song. Person 2 to 6 added one more track each, for a total of 6 tracks. Each member had 24 hours to work on the track before the deadline was reached. If they didn't finish in time, we would move on to the next person in line. The 6th person (LOHM) had the option to mix/master the tracks.  All stems were shared via google drive as .wav files. Participates had the option to chop and add effects to the previous stems, but they were not allowed to remove anything.

Lyrics: 
You taste like the sun
Not like the moon
Seen you way to soon
Need to have another look at you

Time renewed
A little spent
In your pocket
Buy a friend

Hitting goals doing reps
Selling out and taking bets
Dropping the beats


Talking
A competition 60 billion winners
No losers
Nobody satisfied 
A quiet crowd
All Empty seats
Blank blank eyes
Dropping the beats

Be the architect of my salvation

Architect (Featuring Soran Leif, Vulpz, Pax Libertas, Tyson Gentry, Luddite, and LOHM)

---LYRICS---

Move too slow
they won't let go

My fathers, can you hear me
you're getting very cold
holding onto what of the world you were told

Clutching your brittle strings you're a puppet full of lies
avoiding your gaze to hide all the bodies that lie
under your tapestry of promises to hide
the greed that you thrive on is the way you survive

my fathers, can you hear me
you're getting very cold
holding onto what of the world you were told

move too slow
they won't let go
move too slow
they won't let go

Cold

The second attempt at using variations of orchestral samples for a relaxing and brief arrangement. SEA is meant to drift and flow, I tried to keep it sounding fluid and consistently moving.

Lyrics:

Let me ask you a question: Why do we make music?

Why are we doing this to us, releasing track after track and 
reading through tons of feedback and screaming 'till our lungs start bleeding
It is the feeling that we get when we have finished a new track
Sharing our deepest emotions, some are blue like the ocean

Knowing that someone feels the same tells me I'm not going insane
Working so hard on everything, knowing that you're doing the same
Came here just for promotion, found new friends with devotion
Learning something new every day, blowing my troubles awaay


What are we doing? 
Why do we do it?
All for the music!


Some of us come for life while others come for praise
It’s hard to send our music off into the waves
Came here for one thing, but left with so much more
And now I see it so clearly, this is what I came here for

We’ve got your post rock, hip hop, folk and R&B
We’ve got the goods to satisfy your every need
Whatever your flavor, all are welcome here
Don't overthink, let your guard down, feel free to create without fear


What are we doing? 
Why do we do it?
All for the music!

What are we doing? 
Why do we do it?
All for the music!

All For The Music (feat. Neon M)

Made for Life's Everyday Soundtrack, a fun event @soranleif heads up every month where he gives a group of producers 3 stems that must be incorporated into a track. The rest is up to you. Special thanks to Soran and David Petty Music @user-24405761 for the stem work!

Check out LES Volume 6 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvL8kTSkINs

Latest version: 8.2.20 (remastered mix, added saturation to basslines, fixed some vocal issues, added about 30 more seconds to the end).

Diary Of A Cephalopod In Crisis

Featuring https://soundcloud.com/melosopher on saxophone

Are you friend or foe?
Never seem to know with you
True, we share a name
But you don't feel the same, do you?
I'm baited and blistered
All because it's not for you

Did you think about it?
Or did you try to break it? 
Have you come to numb the pain?
In some world
Some day
You won't need to blame me
Could we try to start again?

Tear me down again
Just to feel the weight from you
Some won't let you near
While others lie in fear of you

Come in screaming
With your guns blazing
Have you come to numb the pain?
In some world
Some day
You won't need to blame me
Could we try to start again?

Unresolved (ft. Melosopher)

Made, a wrong turn lost my way
Lost myself, where, I don't want to stay
Made, bad decisions for awhile 
Got turned around, by the tears of a crocodile 
One less mistake would, put me back on track
I'm a heart attack, away from being in the ground

So much that we wanted was out of reach
And they wanted to tell a lie
that's what they'd preach

Find the least worst way to go
It might be wrong but maybe just a little less so
After I've fallen down, I get back up 
I never learn that enough is enough

So much that we wanted was out of reach
And they wanted to tell a lie
that's what they'd preach
You were never much of a go getter
Yeah that's what they said
Now it's going from Bad to Better 
but it's in my head (you can never go back)

Half measures are better than none. 
Half step closer to getting it done. 
Not exactly to the letter 
but moved it from bad to better


Special thanks to LOHM for some production help.
