Unidentified Effing Feelings

By RajaTheResidentAlien on January 7, 2024 11:20 pm

Greetings! don't believe the hype(though i'm too lazy to change it here...), i recently decided to change the stage name to 'ItWasAlienz' (instead of Raja The Resident Something Or Other...) because it is sweet and short, but most of all, makes for the perfect excuse/answer to every single question in the universe:
Q: "how did you make this track?"
A: It Was Alienz
Q: "is that your secret FFT-sauce that you made in Max/MSP creating some of the distortion?"
A: No, It Was Alienz
Q: "what daw did you use? perhaps Renoise?"
A: what is a daw? all i know is... It Was Alienz
Q: "who decided we're going to start spelling 'trying to' as 'tryna'?"
A: It Was Alienz
Q: "why are you so weird, raja?"
A: It Was Alienz
_______________________
here's the lyrics:
cobblin' up this beat, tryna find my voice
ya don't know? get wise: i'm a real live wire
tryna keep my feet, as i takes my choice
i cut/splice to bring ya straight up fire!

you can't see me by the look in my eyes
i'm a grey area full of surprise
catch me a whiff of your capital skies
chem trails gettin' all my aliens high

HA HA hAAAAA!... wait... where's my flow? Oh! ...you didn't know?
watch me catch that shit before you finish thinkin' how it should throw
awwwww now we're gonna just have to let that one go

Huh! lyrics gonna lay the spread
make ya cold sweat like a freak in bed
so damn savvy it earns street cred
even up there in space still over their heads

(chorus)
no flying object
falls from these skies
only these feelings
unidentified

no stranger beings
fall from these skies
only these feelings remain so
unidentified
only these feelings remain so
unidentified

(bridge - melody borrowed but lyrics flipped in tribute to 'Cult Of Personality' by the band, Living Color)

Look in our eyes, what do you see? We are alien to your conformity.

Thank you for listening! Have a beautiful year heart

Damn Raja, already absolutely killing it right out the gate on week 1! Glad to see you back this year and excited to see what's next. heart


your q&a made me laugh out loud
dug hearing your voice alien being
happy new year!

Greetins Aliens! Funny track, the beat is sick.

RAJA!  so awesome to see the crew back

haha yesss this is so dope. love the glitched piano bassline sound!

That chorus hook lyric is so great. "Unidentified". Welcome back!

Very silly.

this is far out man.. sort of like a freaky alien tom waits trak

chemtrails!!

Excellent track!

It definitely was aliens!

Happy 2024 Raja!

I love that panning of the hihats in the intro. Man that track is hilarious, totally weird in a beautiful way. That bass synth has a sick sound, just perfect for this controlled chaos. I am wondering - what am I listening to? This is absolutely alien music, undeniably awesome, puts a smile on my face. So many elements of sounds and percussions that are way out of the usual music landscape. This is one of the reasons I love WB! Looking forward to more alien tracks this year!

Hahaha.  Ya tripper.  This is willlld.  And very well produced / mixed hahaha.  Crazy times.

Amazing!

love the dedication to the Alienz

2024 just wouldn't be the same without some aliens, welcome back!

The vocals made me laugh.  Really fun track all the way around.  Bring on the alienz.

Awesome. Love the sass, and rhythms at the end (they remind me of music from some old sci-fi game, can't remember which though).

as usual i have absolutely no idea what im going to be listening to when i open an alien submission and when i'm done i'm still not sure but i am always pleasantly surprised

Heyyy great to hear those unique Raja vox again. Was not expecting the chipmunks! Excited to hear more unpredictable vocal stylings!

I might be going insane but I hear some Moloko vibes in this.

(I mean the actual band, not @moloko here)

Sick, the alienz are here but there's no need to worry. They just want to show off their flow

Sweet beats backin up those rhymes.  Good see ya back!  Alvin, Simon, Theooodore & alienz!

Yess, this funky alien got me ready for the year ahead! Happy new year and welcome back Raja. Digging this one. My kind of weird fun, thank you. Great title, lol.

hi Raja! love this.
I WANT TO BELIEVE

Pure fun this is. Welcome back.

Solid!

Love the pitched up vocals. Nice start for this 2024 run!

I'm not saying it was aliens but....

Oh, these alienz. They're too much fun!

Yeah, fun stuff! Just realized last week that Living Colour are still touring... Saw them a couple of times in 93, LOL.

Absolutely awesome.

Alienz!

Glad to hear your music again, always bringing something unique and interesting each week.

Well done!

I've sampled this track under the CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA) license for my upcoming track “α - β - γ - δ - ε - ζ - ε - δ - γ - β - α”.

If I am to re-sample “α - β - γ - δ - ε - ζ - ε - δ - γ - β - α” again for future work, I will just put the attribution in the new track, as not to spam the comment field of this track with more than one comment, that is; unless you request me to also put it here again.

That all sounds great, thank you! Looking forward to hearing it smile

yo this is so sick - more vocals YES
also love the Living Colour flip, just listened to that track the other day.

I really like ItWasAlienz as a new artist name for you.

also: just so more people can see this:


Ayyy let's go Alienz 2024.
-Adam/adnorm

Sampled again for the 11th (and, most likely, final) time for next week's track “phase 1”, concluding Q1.

This week's “alpha ⋰ omega ⋱ alpha” is a more compact iteration.

Thanks for your inspiring sound!
