Robyn says: I made a simple drum and bass track and sent it off to @amelea and she made it 20x more awesome. I love all the choppy bits.
Amelea says: Slightly referencing one of the scenes at the end of the Village of the Damned movie -- https://youtu.be/DKw_DOiQwqA?t=234
(Still) Amelea says: And with that being my last song for the month, thanks everyone who helped make this such an exciting fawm '22, I soo appreciate all the supportive comments and collaborations :)
The “Children of the Damned” can’t see past the walls that you’ve put up
Ticking time bomb set to the wrong time zone, don’t blow me off
Again
And I know what you said
Brick by brick
Disassembling
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
And it’s just a brick wall
There’s no beating heart
The sound was just the ticking bomb
Attention deflect
And it’s just a brick wall
But nothing to protect
The walls go up
Just to hide the fact
You’ve got no heart no heart behind the wall
That ticking sound’s not what you said it was
Everyone could talk to me but I wouldn’t take the help
Your silence deafened me, caught me in the blast
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Won’t listen to my own advice screaming from the back
Ahhhhh
Bleeding knuckles taking down a wall that rebuilds itself
And it’s just a brick wall
There’s no beating heart
The sound was just the ticking bomb
The egg timer cracked
And it’s just a brick wall
But nothing to protect
The wall’s go up
Just to hide the fact
You’ve got no heart no heart behind the wall
That ticking sound’s not what you said it was
And it’s just a brick wall
There’s no beating heart
The sound was just the ticking bomb
The egg timer cracked
And it’s just a brick wall
But nothing to protect
The wall’s go up
Just to hide the fact

Whoa. This is the soundtrack of a movie that my kids would tell me is way too scary for me to watch. The singing is beautiful and eerie. Great collaboration.

Holey moley this is 20 kinds of cool! I love the tempo shifts and transitions. The lyrics are kinda quirky and I like how they fold onto themselves. Feels like there is a lot more to the story. #listeningskirmish

oooh...Vampire music. On the side, love village of the damned. There are some good learning gems in that movie (like don't eat cooked food). Intriguing lyrics and the vocal delivery sounds desperate (to send the message). You're an advanced soul Amelie. I absolutely love both your voices together even though it lasts for nanoseconds.

Very good. Fantastic vocals, awesome frenetic, awesome dystopia. Excellent synths. Well done. Really inspiring.
@nadine Feb 2022
Oh yes I waited of a collab of you two. You dig this dark strange electro pop. The portamento synth is so cool. Interesting downtempo part. You slowed this down post recording?
@kajati Feb 2022
Omg, that chorus !! Stunning
@faceofeinstein Feb 2022
Awesome collab. I get a nine inch nails vibe at times and the melody really rides the track nicely. Great lyrics too. I really like this.
@mikegtz Feb 2022
This is just so creative and takes any number of directions before the end comes. Wow, great production and great song with just a hint of a message I think here.
@metalfoot Feb 2022
That's a really cool track and a different sort of sound for Amelea. Nice collab work, both of you!
@regis Feb 2022
Ooh! Deliciously dark imagery and mood - I really dig the glitchiness and pitch bends in the bass. Good show!
