Snare: contact mic, tapping on laptop
Rhythm: contact mics on metal bowl, light bulb, aluminum foil through distortion pedal
Field Recording: M & A Krieger during a card game
Spoiler
I actually don't think this is a well-written song, and of all the songs I've submitted so far it's the least melodically developed, but it's all I have time for this week. It has a nice atmosphere. The pedal steel guitars are also a field recording that I had on file previously. The sample of my daughters is from a "sample bank" that I use for my sound collage project. All the other samples were made for this song.
It’s got a night where it blew apart
A time bomb restless heart
And a man’s mistake
It’s a novel with everything
It’s got a lawyer just for the kids
It’s got everything we said and did
On dark display
I keep turning the pages
Hoping everything will be alright
But it’s crumbling before my eyes
And I’m waiting for the final chapter
It’s a novel with everything
It’s got the greatest love I’ve ever known
It’s got a letter left outside my home
With no kiss goodbye
All the damage and all the sting
All the promises dead and done
All the feelings left behind the sun
As the moon flew by
I keep turning the pages
Hoping everything will be alright
But it’s crumbling before my eyes
And I’m waiting for the final chapter
Amazing, shitty, and chill
Amazing, shitty, and chill
