Found a lyric from FAWM legend @kahlo2013 that inspired me to step outta muh comfort zone a little. I improvised the melody in one take on my phone (with my computer fan blasting the entire way) then recorded the vocal track from my phone speaker into Garageband then threw a buncha patches n synthesizers on it. It was an absolute blast to make. The result is a lullaby on Pluto. Please enjoy

Shooting Star/Black Hole
V1
she came into their lives
awoke wants and needs
quenched their longing thirsts
embraced opportunities
with lustful…
lustful selfish greed …
chewed them up
spit them out like seeds
C
she was the shooting star
that once sparked
such awe
she was the blackest hole
that swallowed
them all
V2
she set their hearts on fire
engulfed dreams and hopes
fanned their growing flames
then burnt gaping holes
and buried…
buried charred souls…
deep in ash
before she would go
C
she was the shooting star
that sparked
such awe
she was the blackest hole
that swallowed
them all
B
so if you meet a shooting star
take stock of who they are
don’t be fooled by their glow
as they could be black holes
C
she was the shooting star
that once sparked
such awe
she was the blackest hole
that swallowed
them all

Spacey music goes well with the shooting star theme. I really liked the Delay in the She Was shooting star lyric at the beginning.
This is kind of cool in the fact I’m exploring this ambient stuff this year. I thought voice would have been out of bounds for this, but if the music was more out front and the voice was muted a bit...... hmmmmm.....

Trippy! Oddly comforting. I love these sonic experiments you’ve been doing this year.

I love the dark but dreamy feel to this, it's very interesting and I think is suites the lyrics pretty well. I have to say that these lyrics are fantastic, "she was the blackest hole / that swallowed / them all" is some brilliant writing!

I love the multi-pitch shifted vocoder.
Your PC fan noise is a feature, not a bug.
