Feb 2022 hyperpop tropical-house hip-hop firstfruits
first fruit of 2022!
i came up with the beat this morning, & quickly wrote the lyrics bfore i headed to work. then i got home to lay down some vox, & now we groovin :D
keep track of your inhibitions
thought loops for your superstitions
hold back and you wont feel lucid
push forward to fucking lose it
treadmill in my mind, im running
demons from behind, they're cunning
clouds through which i fly, are hazy
if i take a break, im "lazy"
two feet in my own inertia
searching for a sign from shiva
to find me a new direction
lord knows that i've got the intention
treadmill in my mind, gets faster
demons gonna cry, of laughter
clouds of endless thought, get larger
"can i get some rest?", i barter
i think we've got chemistry,
dancing close to poverty.
can't keep track of where we are
there's a compass in my car.
highways go to nowhere fun
see all cities with just one
doesnt matter where you land,
time will turn it all to sand.
kick drum keepin my heart grounded
kick out all your fears unfounded
hands up, man, we have you surrounded
[you could never outrun the things that you're haunted by]
treadmill in my mind, im running
demons from behind, they're cunning
clouds through which i fly, are hazy
if i take a break, im "lazy"
"no rest for the wicked" they said,
with a pentagram on their forehead.
shit roll of the dice for the preacher,
[found out the hard way, pain is his teacher]
treadmill in my mind, gets faster
demons gonna cry, of laughter
clouds of endless thought, get larger
"can i get some rest?", i barter
i think we've got chemistry,
dancing close to poverty.
can't keep track of where we are
there's a compass in my car.
highways go to nowhere fun
see all cities with just one
doesnt matter where you land,
time will turn it all to sand.

Cool bouncy beat and catchy melody. Fun lyric too! Well done!
@potentialspam Feb 2022
This is rad. As someone who wants to get more into synths, this is goals. Nice work!
@elesimo Feb 2022
What a fun song, love the groove and all the vocals in this song! Solid production here, with clever lyrics. Love it!
@stickyfingers Feb 2022
like jess said, it's cool to hear you doing vocals again... like the old days but new and improved B) catchy stuff dawg, and you worked the hyperpop autotune aspect into it quite well. sauces
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Really fun start with a cool mix of vocal stylings and an intriguing lyric on top of a danceable beat and nice melody. You know what you're doing, bro!
@roadreg Feb 2022
Definitely agree that these might be some of your best lyrics so far, and your delivery is absolutely killer, so I'm very glad you're getting back into doing vocals again. Very nicely balanced and detailed mixing, and the kick... mmm...
@shortdan Feb 2022
Oh yeah, loving the synth work here. That backing has an almost chiptune type quality at times. Digging the varied vocal treatment - it's all really effective. I'm in awe at the sheer quantity of lyrics here too - there are probably more than I'll come up with all month. Haha! Particularly keen on the vocoder and dry vocal call and response sections. Loads of fun. Really enjoyed this one :)
@juoppis Feb 2022
I didn't even know hyperpop as a genre but now I'm educated. This is wonderful! Thank you for this.
@vivalarayna Feb 2022
We groovin', indeed! This is a lot of fun and I was possiprobably bobbing along as I listened. The slight change up in each set of lyrics kept me listening.
@matthijs Feb 2022
This sounds great. I didn't expect a hyperpop track on here for some reason. I really enjoyed my listen!
@thelowestbitter Feb 2022
Yaaaasss Hyperpop! Hoping to add some stuff to that tag myself later in FAWM. Really like the vocal treatment on this, and the synth sounds are all ace. Really like the vocals overlapping at the end in particular. Off to a really good start!
@racecarracecarband Feb 2022
I was already hooked by the super lush synth chords but when the fun, hyperpoppy vocals I was sold! I really love the call-and-response thing you do here, and the hooks are great. Also I think these are your best lyrics in a while!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Great sound off the bat, filled my ears. Modern vocal style ! Really well done. Sounds stream ready! Really cool!
