Description: Song challenge brief - create a track using a riff as the hook

Dante, you always impress me with how much content you can pack in in a relatively short amount of time. what a cool and dynamic track!

Lyrics:

Everybody's got to rot sometimes
When your skin is shedding colours
Everybody's got to rot sometimes
Slowing shoreline
Never gonna stop chasing resting jawlines
I'm primed to lose

Only ghosts bring you home
Only ghosts bring you home to me
Oh, go slowly
Only ghosts bring you home
Only ghosts bring you home to me

Holding onto glowing like we fools we fall
Fighting against flowing, the tide's too strong

Only ghosts bring you home
Only ghosts bring you home to me
Oh, go slowly
Only ghosts only ghosts only ghosts
Bring you home to me

I don't know where I'm going
But I'm taking you with me
Taking you with me
Into the dark

Only ghosts bring you home
Only ghosts bring you home to me
Oh, go slowly
Only ghosts only ghosts only ghosts
Bring you home to me

Ghosts

*for my song challenge friends below*

Hey folks. 
I only spent a few minutes in Musescore; can't read music so I just randomly wrote in notes on random instruments then sampled. 

Was listening to Rick Rubin's new book, and he suggested a way to write lyrics where you beat a pillow for 5 minutes non stop and then write down the first things that come to mind. I did that once and wrote what became the, uh, wholesome lyrics, then I did it again and recorded it. 

By the end of the process I was beating up a pillow at full force for a combined total of 12 minutes and I am still sore from doing it days later. The outro to this is a sliced and stacked up take of me punching the poor (thankfully memory foam) pillow until I was laughing hysterically. 

For the sung lyrics I had a friend call me and read a random line from a random book of hers. It vaguely fit what I *think* the theme is. 

The end result is a confused, id driven weirdo piece. Cathartic as hell to make, but not quite enjoyable to listen to. Most fun I've had in a decade. 

Enjoy!

Lyrics: 
AAAAAHHHHH 
I eat what I am 
I am what I eat 
I fuck what I am
I fuck what I see 
I fuck with no one 
I fuck with myself 
I fuck everyone
I fuck myself
I fuck my containment
I fuck my confines
I fuck my complacence
I fuck my  
In the backyard
by the mossy tree
in the heavy rain
a seed
(pillow pummeling solo)

For The Love Of The Process (Or "To Beat A Pillow For 10 Minutes Straight")

Lyrics:

I heard them whisper my name
It’s the sweetest of sounds
But it’s laced in pain

Evading life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love 

A thousand faces under rocks is all I can see
Don’t let the lack of light hurry you to your knees
And I’ll protect you, I won’t force
My way in 

When the rest is alone
Hearing’s enough
Heave us over ledges closing the ocean
Weave our way home
Over edges into the ocean

Erasing life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love

Lyrics:

I was changed
It's already over
Never walking away
It's untenable 

Our mistakes
It's arbitrary to us now
Never walking away
It's like a sinkhole brow

Are we strong enough 
Let's epilate 
I found a love under my skin 
It's stopped the itching 
Of healing knife nicks

Lyrics:

You, you
When the weather comes
And I need to run
And I'm on a fast train to nowhere
Soon

You, you
You're sun
You, you

Your firelight burns
Brighter, ready player one

You, you

Yoohoo

Moroux X Levin Challenge - March 2023 Submission

Lyrics:

Let the record show I've got nothing but time for those who surround me
But I'm starting to learn how to sift through the scum
Heaving along
You're no hunter you're a little boy
Open to the scorch of the light
You're not the one who is holding onto hope that you're one day gonna change

Only you decree the turning of the tides
Prune in the sun when I hang you out to dry
Heaving along
You're no hunter you're a little boy
Open to the scorch of the light
You're not the one who is holding onto hope that you're one day gonna change 

Enough
Will you wrestle the wind for a new love
And hold your palms up to the sky
We must sacrifice 

You have no idea what it takes not to start a fight
And so I'm starting to learn what it takes to breach the light
Heave me along
You're no hunter you're a little boy
Open to the scorch of the light 
You're not the one who is holding onto hope that you're one day gonna change
Gonna change

Nice To Me (Demo)

This month's challenge was to use only one instrument. So I went with my old casio CK-500. Sampled the drums, a little bit of the radio, and a creepy tape from Chick Fillet that I forgot was in there. I didn't use the synthesizer because I feel like I'm already is pushing what is acceptable by finding a way to make jungle DnB with a dubstep break.

The growl is made from radio static.
