Ode to Glee!

So many aborted ideas here - originally was supposed to be a really deliberately cheesy song, hence the title. Then it was gonna be a cold electronic song - I had the beat in but it wasn't meshing. I wanted really complex drum patterns. Then an ambient kind of track with no drums. Then I chucked in an arpeggiated synth, which gave it rhythm, and decided to throw in a 4 on the floor house beat. I really like shorter tracks but in hindsight, I could have fleshed this out more. It's also weird structurally with chord changes and drum 'fills' happening at weird places but I just left it that way. I am rebellious.

TLDR - one of my weakest but not the worst. Misleading title.

i like the vibe of this. really melty and crystalline. those chords are fantastic

Oh wow, this is fantastic. Its got an Earthbound-y feel to it.
