enjoy some lofi jamz
felt like i
like i blinked and i'm already here
i can't believe that it's the end of the year
i feel the snow and the chill drawing near
but my mind's in a fog
like i'm in silent hill
and it feels like i lost the path ahead
and it feels like all i know is dread
and it's a fine line that i have to tread
and if i don't move forward
then i'll end up dead
and through the blizzard of emotions
i'm just going through the motions
why was i chasing a promotion
instead of chasing dreams?
i really do not have the notion
but if i do get lost in this storm
of deprecation
that i lose sight of all that's great
i'll think of y'all 'til it starts to warm
and count the minutes ' til the next hour with you
it's what i'll try to do
I mean i was likely gonna make a Christmas song anyways, because i feel like the world needs more Christmas songs (Especially since they play the same 5 tunes over and over), but this theme was perfect, because not only did it give me the advantage, but i also managed to incorporate some winter elements too, to keep it a bit more cold sounding than normal. The bulk of this is basically DnB/Jungle but with some tubular bell sounds, some whimsical chords, and some ambient-ish stuff (I know saying the term here is controversial lol). It's all topped off with some choir pads, some dynamic sub basslines, a rich lead melody (Actually 2), and some arps and vocal samples. It's basically Christmas and Winter themed. Whatever it is, you were likely gonna receive it anyways. Hope you enjoy!
this is a practice. it's not real.
And just like that, another season.
Walking through the snow so free
Stop in the windy trees
Turn in the mists to see
Take a good look at me
It’s a glorious snowfall
The cold drops all around us
But together we warm us
An island among a cool white sea
