it's that time of year again
My Free Mickey
Please do not use this for AI, or in conjunction with AI.
From my upcoming debut EP, where thoughts go to die, which I intend to release under CC-BY-SA 4.0. (idk if I’m just blind but I couldn’t see where to select that specifically in the submission form so I just picked the one closest to it…)
Dedicated to my grandfather, who lost a hard-fought battle with metastatic liver cancer on Christmas Day last year, and to any and all who have lost loved ones during the holiday season.
On a… less sombre note, I’m very obviously not a formally-trained singer in any way lol. I ask only that you try to look past it haha (and I thank Graillon 3 Free Edition for her services haha).
Speaking of vocals, the reason the “backing vocals” you’re hearing in the full mix aren’t included in the stem files I uploaded is because… I really just duped the wet main vox, used Graillon’s pitch-shifter to take it down about 5 semitones, turned the gain way down and cut out certain parts. If I’d have recorded actual harmonies I’d have totally included them. I just didn’t want to feel like I was giving y’all the wet main vocal stem twice, basically.
I used 7-Zip to create the .zip files. Let me know if you encounter buggery!
Written, produced, recorded, mixed and “mastered” by me entirely in my bedroom.
Lyrics
Life
Life goes on
And yet
(and yet)
It’s that time of year again
Cheer and joy and holler
For the rest of them
But not for me
No, no
Don’t they know
Everything has changed
The world is upside down
Helter-skelter, flesh, decay
I buried you again
But now you’re here
Haunting every corner
And dimming the light
I missed you when
You left to dance
With the angels
And play amongst the stars
And yet you’re here
And all I feel is fear
‘Cause it’s that time
That time of year again
