bereavement leave

By offbrand on March 10, 2024 11:45 pm

we're deeply sorry to hear of your loss. unfortunately, under Company Policy this does not qualify you for any paid leave. thoughts and prayers!

lyrics:
witch doctor, can you help my father?
i haven't known him very long
the seers claim that he has salt in his veins
and the poison has crept too far

i swear it was yesterday that he gave the stars their names
bloodlet his pain away,
but time will pass the same

witch doctor, we are sons and daughters
have i been passed down this plague
did i offend some cruel god with my sin?
am i to pray to someone that takes?

take my pain and i'll take the bait:
all the things i love will end
take my guilt and i'll take the blame
i know it's killing him
i'm killing him

it's all my fault
it's all my fault

note: i haven't lost anyone in my immediate family; i just have anxieties about some family members' health issues

this one is just some hats fed into the lossy plugin, to get those nice liquidy artifacts, but doing spectral morphing type stuff is something i wanna try out!!

glad you picked up on the florelle influence!! their music is super inspiring, so if they're reading this i hope they know this track is deeply indebted to them heart

hyperpop is kinda a catchall term that a lot of people aren't the biggest fan of, but i'm not sure what genre to label this as tbh. as far as music with similar vibes: i'd really recommend underscores' recent albums, fishmonger, fearmonger, and wallsocket. her glitchy sound design is amazing, and her lyricism is great too. highlights i recommend are "duhhhhhhhhhh," "heck," and if you wanna hear what a noisy combo of punk and country would sound like, "geez louise"


thank you so much for your compliments and kind words (:

heart

love the lyrics. great melodies & love the verse chord progression.
