Re: I Can't Turn It Off
I Can't Turn It Off by Future Boy I am constantly trying to solve So many problems that can't be resolved Since they haven't actually occurred And the contents are merely inferred From a model that formed in my brain Based on details that I've ascertained During limited interactions That involved ma...

Re: I'm sorry but (I Can’t Turn It Off prefight)
Wasn't sure I was gonna make it, but it all worked out. I completed the optional challenge by just not writing a chorus.

Re: Disembodied Voices
Disembodied Voice - Future Boy There was a disembodied voice inside of my head It said, "You outta be dead, you really outta be dead" I said, "But what if I decide to stay alive instead And take you out my head?" So I took it out of my head. I reached between the folds of my gre...

Re: And now you see (How It Comes Apart reviews)
Future Boy—This sounds great. It gets me immediately in the groove, and the even-toned vocal fits well with the sound of the instruments. While I completely agree with sentiments of the lyrics, many of them are phrased in a very orthodox fashion, so they come off too much as platitudes. Overall, th...

Re: And now you see (How It Comes Apart reviews)
First impression reviews, somewhat terse: Abandoned Bandana - I really like all of your synth work. The "katamari roll" lyric made me smile. Good track. add - such good crisp recording quality, mixing very well done, I loved the backwards guitar and tremolo solo lines sneaking in. the main...

Re: And now you see (How It Comes Apart reviews)
I will say I kinda miss hearing the Rhodes, but that’s pure nitpicking. It's in there, just buried a bit under the synths. I think I might have gone too heavy on the distorted pad and could have pulled it back in the mix to let the Rhodes through, since it is doubling the pad part but with nice spa...

Re: Just like that (How it Comes Apart prefight)
Song submitted. Boy it is challenging to mix with very dense synths, hopefully it's not too squashed (it's probably too squashed).

Re: Just like that (How it Comes Apart prefight)
Back in a fight with this one after failing to pull lyrics together for Eyes In The Dark, so that's nice. Returning to the synth for this one.

Re: Hold your breath for (The Smoke Is Rolling In reviews)
For some reason I didn't vote the first time I listened to the fight, so I missed the voting! Turns out I would have taken away my "win" by voting for both Nick Soma and Robyn Mackenzie. add - this is a really lovely little tune, i'm glad someone else did waltz type thing. my favorite part...

Oh hey, I wrote some reviews and boy it's been a long time since I have done that and am reminded how challenging it can be to review all songs. I hope they are nice and/or helpful and not too terse. Robyn Mackenzie The energy of this song feels like it's supposed to be right in my face, but the gui...

Re: Let's just hope for (Better Luck Next Year prefight)
I spilled a whole shaker of salt the other day and figured I'm cursed for eternity, then I checked songfight.org today and saw the deadline for entries is Thursday, not Tuesday like I'd thought, and I guess spilling that much salt wraps around to being lucky. Like Pigfarmer Jr, I have just spiced up...

Re: Song Fight! Live(Stream) - September 2020
Can confirm: there will a Future Boy live set and live fight entry. I am rendering the videos right now.
Also, for what it's worth, I'm using Reaper for mixing and video "editing" and Handbrake to create the mp4 files from the Reaper uncompressed render.

I'm going to attempt to find time to practice and record a rhodes and voice video of a short set. But even if I don't manage that, y'all will see me on fluffy's.
