My entry to the 2023 October Libre Music Challenge : 7 HELMS and 16 open source Fx involved. Live performed using BespokeSynth then mixed using Ardour.

Tribute

I was in the mood for a thicc lead. And what else constitutes a big lead as Monique does :)

without warning

This one started as an exercise in (sound-)desgining Deadmau5 plugs, progressed into vocal processing with pitch shifting and linear predictive coding and finally - though a copy and paste accident - it dropped into rumble techno 😁

LYRICS:

Dance 1; Succubus

Hey, girl I see you staring at me, you look like you wanna dance
I see your eyes, they look like they desire another glance
Once I give you my attention, you might take another chance
Pounce on me like a hungry lion, I know that you’re lost in the trance
I don’t know what you want, I watch my step, don’t trust a honey pot
If I dance with you, I might just break my legs, I kid you not
When they break, abandonment is inevitable, it’s part of your plot
When I’m weak, the pain will be gone, I trust that you fire the fatal shot

Dance 2; Siren

When I see her round, I don’t know if I feel comfort or despair
I do see her at times, but at the same time it’s like she’s never there
Now, she’s nice to me, then next minute, she’s another person, I swear
Rollercoaster, full of emotions, causing me all this wear and tear
I don’t know what she wants, but I have faith she won’t cause me extra pain
That’s all self-inflicted, I hurt myself with irrational thoughts in my brain
I can’t read her mind, but I know this dance we have might be in vain
If she runs away, I won’t pursue, I’ll drown myself in the rain

Deux Danses

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Shoutout #Reviewbrah!

LYRICS:

I take a trip to the shop down the street
To buy ingredients for my Bloody Mary
Walk down the fifth aisle for the tomato juice
Then to the Bottle’O for the finest of Grey Goose
And then I head back for the Worcestershire sauce
Lea and Perrins, I go straight for the source
Line up for the checkout chick, I’m feeling nervous
She said, “cash or card?”, but of course, she’s giving me service ;)

I head back out to the car with no plastic bags
Ever since they banned them, I have to bring my own bags
Turned on the engine, thought I might skid right here
Doughnut on the ground, Police lights in my rear
Swerving between other cars, bless my luck
Wrong turn, then I’m nearly hit by a truck
But the cops are incompetent, so I get away quick
Pull up to my driveway, feeling really slick

I hop out, unload the bags,
Get in the house, oh, it’s such a drag!
I realise I do not have any mint
Head to my neighbours’ yard, steal their mint
Now I’m loaded with all of my ingredients,
I take out my bottle of Worcestershire sauce
Out of curiosity, I check the ingredients
Nek minnit I’m betrayed by the A word that I saw

Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it (x8)

How could they do this to me? What did I do wrong?
Seafood is gross and now my appetite is all gone
I’d rather down the vodka than drink some dead fish
If only there were no anchovies, that’s my only wish
That was a waste of a trip to the store
I wasted petrol, too, need I say more?
I’d rather scull the vodka and throw it up on the floor
Than taste anchovies in the Bloody Mary, for sure

Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it (x8)

I still need my fix of Bloody Mary
But I’m not ruining it with the taste of anchovies
I grab the bottle of soy sauce from the cupboard
李锦记, it says right on the cover
I fill the cup with 85% percent of the good stuff
Put in the rest of the ingredients, it’s worth a try!
I scull the soy sauce Bloody Mary with love,
An overdose of salt in my blood, guess I’ll die

Worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it (x8)

Worcestershire Sauce Has Anchovies In It

Rest in peace.

LYRICS:

I could not escape my own vignette
Shot the clip, it’s scheduled for the net
At the bridge, my mind’s full of regret
Made the bed and now it’s time to rest

I could not erase my sickness
I’ve asked for forgiveness
And got none
God, have I become reclusive?
Borderline abusive?
“I’m sorry”

Drained my soul, this act I’ve
Maintained, only to sustain the darkness
That consumed me
Why help someone seeking death?
It’s just one step away,
I’ll tell the world,
My choice is made, I can’t be stopped

Took the leap of no return
Found the peace that I have yearned
Drown my sorrows all away
Cleansed of all the sins I’ve made

Take me far away from home
Send me to a different world
Let me find the closure that I’ve been deprived of long before the end

Remember me for all
The memories we’ve shared,
And set in stone my legacy

Please don’t take the path I’ve taken,
Keep your friends and family close,
Don’t let them go

Let me go
