Thanks For Absolutely Nothing
By orangedrink on April 26, 2020 11:20 pm
Due to popular demand YUNG GRANDPA IS BACK! Music was done by recording a live performance of the Model:Cycles, and then edited down to fit the verses. Added compression, eq, and a filter at the end. Used an SM7B for the vocals and compressed the heck out of it to get some grit. The chord is a Maj9no5 and I only know that because you have to dial in chords on the Cycles, you can't play them 
100% didn't want to work on music today, but yet again, working on stuff puts me in zone and I end up having a ton of fun. I love the Cycles, I love FM synthesis, and I love hip-hop! 
I feel like I am becoming a better MC, mainly from getting more confidence from recording, writing, and performing. I did this today (Sunday) in about 5 hours. Thanks to everyone for listening, leaving awesome comments, and most importantly, continuing to make music against all odds. I said it before and I'll keep saying it, this is the power for music and art and this is why it is so important to me. Thanks everyone! Hope to see you at my show this Friday, May 1st!

LYRICS:
Yung Grandpa walkin’ down the street
Got a little swing cause I got that Cycles on that beat - hey!
You’re in the front row, at an Orange Drink show
What do you wanna know?
I’m only shy when I’m by myself
The only way to get by is to lie about my mental health
Damaging self-talk, can’t stop saying it
Someone gave me the tape, but I’m the one playing it
You wanna know what hurts the most?
The things that I’m attracted to are things they say are gross
And then I try to act another way
How can I not? Every word I say "sounds gay"
Constantly defending myself is a lot of fun
Thanks for not inviting me, I didn’t want to come
No one understands me and I don’t know how it happened
I must be a comedian ‘cause everybody’s laughing
