Feb 2022 easy funk experimental organ_n_bass random collab
we were paired with @negasi for a random collab. used one of his lyrics
[V1]
The telephone is ringing
But I just can't pick up
Oh the birds are singing
But it's 2am
Your voice is like a siren
But I can't seem to talk
Find myself admiring
As I crash upon the rocks
[Chorus]
Caught in consternation
You know I've got my reservations
You say I shine brightly
I say I'm no constellation
I'm just a consolation
But no ones called me a prize
Caught in consternation
Surely this will be my demise
[V2]
Hello from the dark side
The moon shines bright tonight
Makes it hard to hide
But it's 3am
Your eyes they look right through me
Makes me feel paper thin
Is this your sacred duty
There is no way to win
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Now I'm speaking softly
So listen close, I won't repeat
I'm no Rocket Man or Tiny Dancer
Just a candle in the wind
I'm always ready for a downpour
Grab my hand and we'll do it again
[Chorus] x2

I'm smiling at the number of quotations from other songs that are all deftly woven in to the lyrics here.
That woozy fretless bass just muscles in and takes over, doesn't it? It really gives the breakdown at 2:58 more of an effect as it drops out, but I'd be tempted to rein it in with a bit of eq at the beginning, at least...

you are so experimental i am not sure if you are experimental ha ha! Tis covers half a dozen styles and i am only 1.08 in so far. i am seeing that Bowie tinge again never noticed to this year! this is a really good song mate! Its a very good negasi lyric to play with some really good lines in this!
