I was going to do something more complex here, but I decided to pare it back, so it's a bit more sparse than normal. I also limited myself to only using real instruments on this one.
Equipment: Korg TR Rack, Akai XE8, Alesis S4+, Roland Juno 106, Yamaha SY35, Roland D-05
Sun in the sky
Heat in the air
Watch the birds fly by
Wind blew dust in my eye
Far from a dream
Start to compare
To a different scene
From a darker extreme
Is this time for staring
It won’t save us from the cold
Is this time for caring
See us til we’re old
A part of you
Hard to repair
Things you can’t subdue
No reprieve or review
You crossed a line
No thought or care
Words weren’t truly mine
Forged a sense of decline
Is this time for glaring
It won’t save us from the cold
Is this time for caring
See us til we’re old
Is this time for daring
See us til we’re old

This works! The vocal delivery, the synth soundscape, the drums, the lyrics. Really nicely done.

I love the robotic, staccato vocals. Amazing synth sounds! And the lyrics are poetic and not what I expected with that title at all. What a great chorus too! This is absolutely fantastic. One of my faves this year for sure!
