Wrote this on the train but picked up the lyric half way through ( theme of week 3) . Did my ‘usual’ if creating a groove. This was even more mesmeric than usual - a one note groove on figure recorded here as it happened with lyrics created in real time also - which shows a bit better how ill often check the opening to try snd ensure no repetition and keep the patterns going. This song I could hear the rhythm of the words in my head - well actually that mostly happens - so the hook is a funky rhythmic riff. Erm - pretty happy with it
A pleasant day spent using dictionaries
First a quiz to check the word ‘polysemy’
Meanings many from each word yet
Not to confuse with ‘homonym ‘
We laughed and looked up several groups
Like ‘play’ and ‘ head ‘’reserve’ and ‘office’
And stray to euphemisms before the break
Spurred on by Liz (?) nb- I think that should read ‘Annette’
We talk of ‘spending pennies’ and of …powder ring your nose
We chat as if we are …. old acquaintances
these treasured times too good to let slip by
….
Slipping by bye
Slipping by
Skipping by bye
Skipping by
( maybe I’ll keep that typo!!)
So much ‘fun’ to be had in a room with humans
Never tire of words and laughs
And opportunities to peruse our mechanisms
That have us think stuff!
He’s from Japan she’s Congolese
This is semi from turkey and these
My companions each day I ‘teach’ them
Bring them stuff to chew over ….
Slipping by
Time’s slipping by
We’re slipping by
Im slipping by ( or slipping in) ways to learn
They’re slipping by
No slipping by
Never thought we’d have so much fern
Errors slipping by
Don’t catch em slipping by
Im on it slipping by
Like I don’t notice !
But this is not slipping by
It’s how I get by
I’ve seen things slipping by
I am on focus !
We learn together fuse as one as we mutually ponder
Thoughts come from our gut
Find we are alike ( like muck)
Like pigs in shit we are excited! ( united)
Never tell a story to a twisted type of man
Never wrestle with a bear
Never pitch yourself as stronger than you are
Cause if you do you’ll despair
Win or lose - slipping slipping by
You can choose - slipping slipping by
Find the fuse -
It’s a ruse -,
Be at peace -
Find release -
Never cease -
Till
You
Stop

Really cool. Have you heard of Beatober? I had a friend / mentor who composed a lot on during his commute by train for that challenge. This reminds me of that - the announcer, the synth pattern, awesome to hear
@sapient Feb 2022
Wait a sec.
Is this a real time compsition on a train? Or did you add the announcer in afterwards? Either way, the vibe and tone is set up perfectly.
I love how what sounds like someone walking in heels on the platform turns into the groove and then we're off and running. Great stuff! :D
