This one was fun, I'm find a whole bunch of new toys.
The solo in is my voice heavily modified.
Also a four chord loop which is cool.
Right here right now I’m riding a wave
Crashing down all around maybe Jesus saves
Will I sink or swim or succumb to a whim
Right here right now I’m riding a wave
Here it comes, up and down
Here it comes, rushing sound
Of the wave
Right here right now I am in the storm
Splashing round sinking down far from the shore
Will I sink or swim or some synonyms
Right here right now I am in the storm
Here it comes, up and down
Here it comes, rushing sound
Of the wave
RIght here right now I am way out to sea
There ain’t no one to rescue me
Will I sink or swim will that set in
Right here right now I am way out to sea
Here it comes, up and down
Here it comes, rushing sound
Of the wave

This reminds me of a group I'm fond of - Junior Boys.
The bubbling bass arp under this subdued and sparse beat work well together, and sound nice under the verse vocals.
Cool manipulation of your voice to turn it into a lead synth! Love that kind of thing.
Dig these lyrics, too.
Definite mood to this.

“Will I sink or swim or some synonyms” is a particularly great line! The distorted vocals and pulsing music add to the unsettling, foreboding mood of the lyrics. Great skirmishing!

Great bass shoring this up... see what I did there?
If the beach boys had have had access to a synth in 1962, this is what would have resulted! :-)

Ooooh, distorted vocals that I don't hate! That's impressive in and of itself. Oh and the echo on the chorus really works. I like the words too. Good skirmish.
@pabrizzer Feb 2022
my fav line 'Will I sink or swim or some synonyms'
a real good skirmish response
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
I hear this as a depiction of the slow-motion thinking that goes with this kind of focused activity, The melody is a kind I don’t hear all the time — I probably should know where to place it, but anyway, it seems to express a kind of centered confidence. Good distinctive skirmish angle.

Nice open ended ending! I like how the backing track is fairly laid back and yet the vocal is increasingly edgy (even scary).
@mhorning Feb 2022
"Right here right now I am in the storm"
I really like the open end, it's not looking good for our Point of View character, but the ending is left up to the listener.
@sunfire Feb 2022
I like the rhythmic/musical vibe & sounds on this one.
Far out with some of the background sound effects.
Good lyric and vocals too.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
This feels really dark and maybe depressed too. The music and the vocal (the vocal effects) accentuate this to good effect.
@keithcuts Feb 2022
I like your wave, sink or swim analogy!
works withing the framework of your songwriting
the backing supports your lyrics masterfully as i feel i am riding that beat!
