“imagine, if you will, a situation wherein i wrote the bulk of this song at 4 am and then woke up only to discover the monstrosity i had created in my fleeting hubris”

—-

i wrote this to have a really 90s sitcom vibe. you know, one of those melodies that don’t really make any sense. you ever notice how vocal songs only have like 3 or 4 notes in the melody. anyway i also had to write lyrics. have you you ever tried to write a sitcom theme that incorporates harspichord? yikes. i love it when theme songs to sitcoms just outline the premise of the show so… i guess i don’t have a great excuse i was just extremely drunk. its literally the chords to the theme song to “Family Matters” you know the show with Steve Urkel who is played by jaleel white who also voiced sonic the hedgehog.

anyway the lyrics that i definitely wrote at 6 this morning are:

its the 90s
and this is a show
about a female troll

she might have kids
or maybe a dog
the premise isnt clear

i like it when
songs just tell you
(what the shows about)

she practices the law
she wears a pink coat
and probly does some other shit too

this is the theme
to “Family Matters”
which I guess came out in the 80s

i checked
1989
but it ran until ’ 98

oh cool
i finished the song

OLD SECRET

here it is folks. i think this song was in every hiveswap trailer. shout out to the four people that still wanted to hear the full version. luv u guys.

this was going to be in act 3, then i got impatient and made it the EOA2 cutscene but it still cut off too early to be a full release and i just really liked it so i wanted you guys to hear it now instead of later.

i used it for boldir because it fit her whole aesthetic, but this song was originally written for a scene where joey and xefros are on the run. having been hardened by their journey they hit the streets. it was meant to be a really sort of somber realization of just how terrible alternia is. like when you’re in the uber on the way home from the bar and one of you almost died and its like we… should stop doing this…

I LOVE the mood of the transistor soundtrack and you might notice this drum beat and title are a very obvious nod to the song “Old Friends” (though someone else named it, years ago) I was specifically instructed “make it sound like this song” but since then I have worked to make it sound like more my own thing. you can see the influence of that soundtrack on all my work, though. the slow driving half-time beat. the airy reverb on chordal tones. the dirty bass. originally meant as a placeholder i never got over how the beat drops the backbeat on every other 4. I could dweeb out about this for hours.

theres some nonsense about how im getting replaced or w/e. i will never die actually. we’re basically just on hiatus rn, which is implied by the announcements, but when production starts again it will still be me. in the mean time gotta pay those bills though. so. anyway don’t worry. i love this series and the fans too much to give up on it, but i know how impatient everyones gotta feel so i’m… trying to give as much of it to you as i can. thanks friends.

God, what a good song. Thanks for everything so far, dude! You guys are the best 🙂

Out

I decided I’d like to try and spread some of the songs I use to feel better when things are going rough. This playlist has some vocal tracks, some instrumental tracks, and all sorts of songs about outreach, love, courage and compassion.

If you need something like that, I hope you find it helpful. 

Out

Since I seem to be getting some new readers (Welcome! Glad to have you.), here’s a cool & new song I’ve been listening to. Seeming is really, really good. This stuff is like peak 2017 hellworld #relatable only it, like, gives me hope? And it feels really resonant to Homestuck, I’d like, love to do a lyricstuck on Homestuck’s antagonists set to this.

To the gunmen who guard against all of the starving:
God will bury you. Nature will bury you.
To the screams on the radios, where words turn to weapons:
God will bury you. Nature will bury you.
To the terrified rich man:
God will bury you.
To the killers of animals:
Nature will bury you.

…

God will bury you. Nature will bury you.
Time will bury your bones, unseen.
Total and absolute.
Infinite amplitude.
‘Til all the black is ripe and green.

…

And I’m not angry, I’m not sad.
I’m just stating the fact.
I’m not angry, I’m not sad,
I’m just stating the fact.
I’m not angry, I’m not sad! 
I’m just stating the fact that:
God will bury you. Nature will bury you. 

One of my patrons linked me to this song and it has continued to blow me away continually since and have I mentioned how lucky I am to know so many cool people??

Anyway I believe the best way I can repay them for the magnificent link is to pass it on to you guys. 

When the world is a danger to you
Will you rise up in rage or do you
Keep getting stranger? I do.
Keep getting stranger

Rachel Kann | I Know This

[the weather segment from Welcome to Night Vale Episode 10: Feral Dogs]

And we will begin to love in a fashion I couldn’t fathom existed.
And we will laugh at the fact that we ever resisted this blissful togetherness.
And the sex?
Well, it’ll be off the charts.
‘Cause we’ll both be
Super freaky
But we’ll be fucking
From the heart.
‘Cause our loving will be something where the
Whole is much greater than the sum of the parts
‘Cause were artists after all,
So what else would fate have us make besides art?

This song applies to literally every canon homestuck ship and that’s why I’m into homestuck tbh
