Another Year Goes By

Wow! I can't believe I've managed to finish a song every single week this year. Somehow, it's felt like an unproductive year in music for me, but I think that's because I forget that all this development took place this year. I've changed my style a lot. To finish off the year, I decided to make a reflective song about how time seems to go faster. I recorded and made it in about 5 hours today, right up till 30 seconds before the deadline in classic weekly beats fashion!
I wanted to use the tame impala/ indie influences I've been focusing on all year, with the compressed drums. I also wanted to include my 2020 music gear: a Uke Bass, lots of plugin purchases, and the arturia synth collection plugin.
Here are the lyrics:
I can't quite decide if I like the way I'm going
Will everything be alright? I can't deal with not knowing
Another year goes by, and it feels shorter than the last
And I wanna know why they have to go so fast
So slow down, please, I wanna take my time
So all my memories have a chance to stay in my mind
I can't get over the fact I have a plan
And that every day I get closer to living it first hand
