cows & clouds
By Reilly Farrell on May 3, 2020 4:10 pm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cattle in the shade of a satellite,
grazing with all their electric might –
and sailing above their hills and their herds,
a ceiling of signals, sunbeams and birds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[lyrics]
the cows go moo,
the clouds go too,
the cows go moo,
the cows and the clouds go.
the cows don’t move,
the clouds don’t move,
the cows go through
the clouds, and the cows go.

Whoa! How have I not heard you before this?
Love the subtle cowbell in the background. +1 to that awesome delayed piano melody, and sweet harmony too.
such a cool idea and excellent smooooooothly executed. mooooooooo
Great effected vocals. Strangely uplifting and ethereal. Are those cows autotuned 
They got skills. Beautiful track.
Christ, I actually love this. I spent a minute trying to convince myself there's no way but this is incredibly enjoyable.
Unexpected This is the 4th song this week in a row with an animal reference in the song name..
"Elves are cannibats"
"Painting a bird with wings"
"cows & clouds"
"The Surprised Cat Meows"
All in a row. NEAT.
Woah I never realized how pad-like cows are Feeling those moby-vibes with the lovely piano melody and backing pads.
Holy cow, this is amazing.
I can't believe I was here for the birth of cowstep lol. I honestly can't say I've ever heard anything like this, which is always a nice feeling. 10/10 piano melody <3
Haha, what an honor. 
Maybe someday I'll get to collaborate with an actual cow!
Whoa! How have I not heard you before this?
Eh, tracks are like trees – they fall in a forest. I'm just grateful you gave this track your time.

Can't take credit for the cowbell - that was baked into the first sample (credited in the description). Appreciate the compliments on the melody and harmony though!
such a cool idea and excellent smooooooothly executed. mooooooooo
Thank yooooooooooooou.

They do indeed. I did alternate between pitch-bending the first sample and not. Thanks!
Christ, I actually love this. I spent a minute trying to convince myself there's no way but this is incredibly enjoyable.
Thanks! I was wondering how this would sit with people.

Honestly, it took me forever to think of adding cows to the track. I'm glad they fit in with the pads!
Holy cow, this is amazing.
