Raptured

By alterationx10 on January 17, 2026 10:27 pm

I've never written an electro swing song before... and I still haven't :-) The song kept leaning to something closer to swing revival, so I ended up just leaning into it.

This song was an idea I had a few years back, stemming from covid/anti-vaxxers/science deniers and their behavior getting people killed (raptured).

I recorded the vocals and the bass part, but the rest was instruments in Ableton this week. I don't think I auto tuned very much of anything this time. It's a fairly long song compared to my others, and it really wore out my voice by the end of it. Verse 2 is definitely a lot scratchier than verse 1, haha.

Yeah, I think going with the flow and having fun is the key to surviving another weekly beats, haha.
