I like mallet percussion a lot

spring is here!

> occasionally, I get a solid idea in my head, but randomly decided to make it 7/4. after each song, I tell myself, next time do it in a time signature I'm more familiar with... but I forget every time... atleast I get more practice this way!

...

Look, I went to a Melvins+Weedeater show two nights ago. What else did you expect from me?

Lyrics and Vocals by PolkaPop

I decided to do some copying and pasting to get a longer track this time. I used a sample of rainfall, came up with some drums, then added a flute, some bass, some synths and repeated it and then made an intro and outro.

Originally it was gonna be lo-fi hip hop, but the beats ended up being not wonky enough lol, so i guess it doesn't count. It is a hip-hop number either way, complete with some extremely chill and uplifting melodies, some soft piano flourishes, and some arps to keep it part synthetic part relaxing. It makes a statement with the drums, but it isn't in your face or tiring, it's just soft and relaxing, that's all it is. We do change keys in parts, but mostly to C Major, nothing too crazy, and i did add a few cool moments when i introduce a Bb to the party, but other than that, we mostly ride the G Major wave. All the track is about, is being as relaxing and free flowing as possible for 6 minutes. May be too simple to some, but i think it's kind of beautiful. Either way, enjoy!

The waveform looks too quiet but its 10:20 so....

I REALLY need to figure out how to produce vocals

Just this time I want one clear day

When these times they don’t go my way

Danger when I do things anew

The first time I’ve lost you

If the rain is warm

Then you’re comfortable with misery

If the rain is cold

Then there’s still a chance for ectasy

on this outlook i've been fixating

staring from the ground

all i see are clouds

try to stay chipper though it's raining

gets harder every day

while the skies stay gray

still i hold out for a stray beam

maybe the sun will return to me

try to stay chipper though it's raining

behind all the clouds

the sun will soon poke out

the storm is here but it ain't staying

gotta bide my time

the day will soon be mine

gotta hold out for a stray beam

one day the sun will return to me
