Feb 2022 pop
I was working on two songs side by side and I was sort of stuck with them and didn't know how to finish them, so I decided to cram them together in one dual song.
i'm a cartoon character
my outlines are fading
colours running
forming shapeless blobs
dr. rorschach
i could use your analysis
dr. rorschach
i could use your analysis
read-made piece of pop-art
stick me in a gallery
for pretentious people to marvel
at my banality
might as well place quotation marks
around my head
reader's digest wisdom
is all i can muster
infinite party
everlasting jubilee
celebration never ending
good time all of the time
hips are swaying
arms are waving
feet are stomping
there are people dancing
can't stop moving
the floor is lava
can't stop moving
the floor is lava

Hyvinpä on laulut yhistetty kun ei sitä edes oikein huomaa. Soundit ja vokaalit on mainioita ja itse biisi on kivan rauhallinen, ja on se vähän suomalaisittain mollivoittoinenkin. Hyvä Suomi.
Muuten tuli mieleen, että Rorschachin mustetahratesti on tehty mulle. Ihan kummallisesti kaikki ne kuvat oli tosi väkivaltaisia. Tosi tarina.

I really like this - a strangely relaxing nightmare - it's like sci-fi Kafka. The lyrics are fantastic, great imagery and full of great lines packed with mystery. A song I could keep coming back to. Production and arrangements are stellar. If I could change anything it would be that the lava line at the ends with a trippy dancefloor groove
@ohljazz Feb 2022
great trippy tune - and love that title "Dr Rorschach"!

I really enjoyed this @cheslain ! I like the idea of combining the two tracks, whatever they were before it seems to work really well ! really like the bass in this too ! :-) and the lava line is great !!!
@gardeningangel1 Feb 2022
That bassline is so smooooooth and swanky. The imagery from the opening lines is vivid and pulled me right in. Lyrics are stunning with vocals to match. The whole arrangement is superb. This is such a cohesive piece, I can't imagine how it started out as two. I suppose you've successfully integrated that duality!

Superb track. One of my faves of FAWM this year. Bass line is great but everything comes together in a completely hypnotic way.
@arthurrossi Feb 2022
Very intriguing lyrics which feel almost a bit surrealistic, with some very creative lines like !can´t stop moving / the floor is lava".I also like the mention of dr. Rorschach. Beautiful is also the musical way you took it, in fact, it feels as one song although you combined words from two here... Awesomely done!
@readwrite Feb 2022
The soundscape is lovely, and makes a great setting for all the dysphoric lyrics, everything losing value and definition, the kind of ironic comment that "good time all the time" is after all the loss of self. Evocative lyrics and a good vocal delivery for them.
Dancing is a good place to retreat to under those circumstances, except we can't any more. So we make songs.
@dh3 Feb 2022
This is wonderful - such a dystopian vibe, and I love the way you change it up at the end
@mikewpb725 Feb 2022
Love that sinuous bass line.
I love cramming songs together!
Very Zappesque(!) in that it combines very accomplished instrumentation with quirky(?), offbeat(?) vocal & lyric.
Sorry, that's all I can mustermustermustermuster..........
@odilongreen Feb 2022
Such a seductive groove to this, full of atmosphere and mystery. It utterly draws the listener (or at least this listener) in, and the halves flow perfectly together. I'm assuming this is *not* in any way inspired by Watchmen, but between the reference to a "Rorschach" and the concept of infinity, this would make an awesome theme song for Dr. Manhattan in that graphic novel (if that means anything to you).
@airbagtester Feb 2022
I enjoyed this very much. Winning bass line, nice low-key, minimal drums, guitar, and your vocals are superb. Nice job. The point of view makes me think of someone who has put on a fake personality for so long they have forgotten who they are.
@hyljetronic Feb 2022
Wooooo, super awesomic hyper goodness! The ending was a nice surprise as well!
@rayboneor Feb 2022
Dang, that is so pretty and quietly groovy right out of the gate. The song is so full of beautiful surprises. I'm mean, it's great from the beginning, then the vocals are a treat, as are all the synthy bits of earcandy. What can I say, this is an impressive piece of work. And more than that, I love it. The floor is lava, ha!
@arkka Feb 2022
Such a pretty soundscape right from the get-go, I like the dark smoky atmosphere. This is the kind of music I like to listen to late at night. Good lyrics too, some really nice metaphors.
@tiller2 Feb 2022
this song has a wonderful vibe, your usual excellent sonic craftsmanship, and vivid images as the story gradually shifts from the despair of the individual to that of society. Great start to FAWM
@b3nut Feb 2022
Really like the atmospheric rock feel of this track...the line "for pretentious people to marvel at my banality" says so much about our culture today. Really like this one!
@xfloorpunchx Feb 2022
Combining the two songs together was a great idea and it makes a great evolution! I can also feel some Steely Dan influences. Congratulation for your first song, i really liked it!
