One Bit

By Xjs on October 7, 2024 12:01 am

Multi-tracked myself on this piece, and recorded myself with both the laptop and the phone microphone. I think it turned out quite interesting. G minor, some driving bass sounds and chords. Hope you like it!

Lyrics:

You
Are just a point of data
Perhaps a single bit
Among a billion others
Among a billion more

Just a single bit

You
Maybe I’ll compress you
Maybe I’ll cut you out
Might just reassess you
Put you in a cloud

Just a single bit

Among a billion others

Just a single bit

Flip
And you will make a fortune
You will change the world
Completely change the future
You can start a war

With just a single bit

Just a single bit

Among a billion others

A single bit

While the music itself feels oppressive, perhaps dehumanizing, the lyrics are somehow uplifting in that I'm just data to the big corpos, and not even that much, not standing out, useless to them.

I like the layering, did it this week as well, but for guitar. Maybe not a great idea to use it for the word "bit" though.
