A lot of my songs have had shoegaze style builds at the end, but I decided to make this one a little more shoegaze-like from the start. In terms of the arrangement, this is one of the simpler ones I've done this FAWM. It contains one guitar track, one drum track, and a vocal track. That's it.
If the snow never went away
And winter lasted forever
I’d stay inside our home with you
And we could avoid the weather
And if the summer never came
I would not be disappointed
You bring me joy every day
And the cold won’t take it away
Life is crazy busy sometimes
And it’s going oh so fast
These days that I’ve spent with you
Make me worry less about the past
If the world came to an end
And if zombies roamed the earth
Maybe we would finally find
The time to start our dream pop band
We wouldn’t have to go to work
Right now that kind of sounds so nice
We could leave this old apartment
Even if the contract says we can’t
Life is crazy busy sometimes
And it’s going oh so fast
These days that I’ve spent with you
Make me worry less about the past
Sure the summer sun would be so nice
And I don’t really want to fight zombies
But I definitely want to spend my days with you
And leave this town and apartment someday, too
Life is crazy busy sometimes
And it’s going oh so fast
These days that I’ve spent with you
Make me worry less about the past

Yeah, you got the drums going great here and some creative drumming choices too! The zombie stuff is super clever, giving a "I bet this couple is fun and quirky" vibe.

Haha I guess everything has a silver lining right? :D Awesome fodder for a song, suits your voice so well <3

Is that one of those Fender x Kyser capos with the official color schemes? I have one in seafoam green :) I love how big you’ve made this sound with just three tracks! The dynamics are great, it swings between the big shoegazey/emo parts and the kind of faster almost pop-punk parts very smoothly. The lyrics are lovely too, great take on a classic “what if” love song theme!

Zombies invading never sounded so good.

I'm not going to let a song with "Zombies" in the title go past without a listen. Looking on the bright side of the zombie apocalypse here :). Nice sound!
