Week 28 - prophisee - nowhere, next

Submitted in probably the last 10s lol literally wrote and tracked all the vox in 30m but spent a good bit of time on the instrumental and chords. Accidentally left the track where I was playing out the vocal melody on the keys unmuted. I also spent a lot of time making this nifty chord progression tool that helped me cook some interesting chords. This weeks idea was to make a pop song like the koreans do. I failed, it sounds like my usual style but I like many parts of it. › lyrics‹ lyricsVerse They say the key is following your passion But I'm wondering if I'll ever see some traction Its a blur, so I yearn Wonder if I ever wont be amateur So I'll work 'Til I reach the end of end of end of earth Pre-Chorus I can hear the voices talking in my head Good think I don't listen to the stupid things they said Chorus You called it nowhere You called it fantasy Live in a dream world No need for your apathy Verse Its a blur, so I yearn Wonder if I ever wont be amateur So I'll work 'Til I reach the end of end of end of earth Pre-Chorus I can hear the voices talking in my head Good think I don't listen to the stupid things they said Chorus You called it nowhere You called it fantasy Live in a dream world No need for your apathy › idea and narrative‹ idea and narrativeIt’s easier to hate and detract than to see a vision for the future and create something new. Verse has a minor vibe, prechorus facilitates a transition to parallel major so this represents something of a transition to triumph over the haters. It’s ok for the lyrics to be poppy and a little cliche on this one, I am taking inspiration from mainstream pop and k-pop but the instrumental ended up more in my usual gorillaz territory. The verse instrumental is dark and epic and the chorus is kinda watery/drippy happy like Lucy in the sky with diamonds. The prechorus has like a theatrical tip toe suspense that bridges the two. hate and detract: - naysay - laugh or pity lack of initial traction + don’t offer support - feedback never constructive. Always “this wont work”, “this is bad” etc - desire to look cool. New isn’t cool when it has no traction at all. - moving the goalposts - zero sum thinking - appeal to tradition or authority - don’t be: “naive, impractical” be realistic “This wont work” “Nobody wants this” “Why even try” create something new: - take a risk on something uncertain - tolerate embarassment during periods without initial success - have faith in a vision without evidence - fueled by passion - exponential vs linear thinking saw the whole sky in a drop of light I made a new world out of your no You said dream like it was a weakness You called it a fantasy, now we live inside “You called it nowhere, I called it next” “You doubted, I did it” Dream as embarrassing because it exposes desire Dream as architecture Fantasy as color › rhyme worksheet‹ rhyme worksheet Lyrics made with Lyrium 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)
