proud

I made this after watching a small little demotapes video about how they put together music. I just liked the textures they were using and started there and then naturally made something more like me. RnB, Soul, and kind of pop-py with more strings. So started with some pads in a key I liked then added piano, kontakt strings and oboe. Sang the intro part as it came to me and stacked vox. Added drums, then added the synths over the top with some stuttering lfos. The verse and chorus came after that I think. I just laid it all out in Logic and freestyled until I got something that felt right. I actually did about 6 versions of this song this week and landed on this hybrid with some serum bass patch i made for the end.

Really happy with the lyrics and the flows on the track heart Especially the last lines of the chorus and realizing that the person i've become would make little me proud.

Lyrics:

I will deal with my doubts
I wont push it on down
I will feel it all out
I will make myself proud
I would make myself proud yeah

I will deal with my doubts
I wont push it on down
I will feel it all out
I will make myself proud
I would make myself proud yeah

Know it when I feel it
Hold it when its here and
Home is where I’m healing
I won’t dissapear

I’ll call you when it comes
when it’s gone
When I feel light

Inching towards the moonlight
Know it when it feels right

I’m my medicine
I won’t run again
I’ve been pulling charms
Over bass
till the morning

Making better medicine just for this moment
I know this feeling real when I can own it

I will deal with my doubts
I wont push it on down
I will feel it all out
I will make myself proud
I would make myself proud yeah

I will deal with my doubts
I wont push it on down
I will feel it all out
I will make myself proud
I would make myself proud yeah

Excorsize your ghost
When i float through the living room
Out of the door
To the world I can see with you
Never wanna live with the thought
I won’t be with you
Know i had to grow to make sense of what we’ve been through

Realize all our mistakes
Was the path I’d always take
And what was strange just lead to strength

I will deal with my doubts
I wont push it on down
I will feel it all out
I will make myself proud
I would make myself proud yeah

I will deal with my doubts
I wont push it on down
I will feel it all out
I will make myself proud
I would make myself proud yeah
