¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Uploaded with seconds to go. SWEET IRONY. The mixing has issues, accidentally left wrong stuff in WHATEVER. I'll fix it and reupload a thing whatever.
The song is about not winning or losing but just trying, so it's perfect that this song got messed up and I ran out of time. My challenges to myself:
1) Play my new 12-string guitar
2) Don't play an E chord like I always do
3) Don't do a guitar arpeggio like I always do
4) Don't do an EQ drop out like I always do
The volume of the end chorus is too loud. The vocal accidentally comes in early and that was left in by mistake. Didn't do the car speaker test to see how the fuzz bass was.
Lyrics:
Can somebody tell me if I'm worth anything?
It's not right; I can't explain
I almost believe the awful words that they say
They run laps inside my brain.
Invisible forces want to pull me away
SMILE AND NOD CAUSE THAT'S THE GAME.
They say I'm not welcome; they say I can't stay
But they're the first ones for running away.
IT'S FINE.
IT'S NOT LIKE I ALMOST DIED.
WHERE WAS I AT THE TIME?
WHEN THEY JUST STOOD ASIDE?
No more comparison and begging for worth.
It turns to stone only when you gaze
Everything crumbles in the light of the day
And they don't own me cause I was here first!
Not that I won, not that I lost, but I tried.
