Keep On Looking Up
by @carleybaer
Liner Notes
I'm really having a blast with this cello. The existential dread is real, so this is me trying to talk myself out of wanting to vomit all the time.
Lyrics
Everything is indescribable Everything is for your eyes alone Everything is melody and sound Everything is currents underground Everything is far too much for words Like trying to fit the ocean in a paper cup Keep on looking up
Everything is chaos and cliché Everything’s the same thing every day Everything’s informed by what’s around Everything is built on common ground Everything is finding the integrity When everywhere you look it’s all corrupt Keep on looking up
They won’t get me down Beauty all around So many scary things I’ll be the bird that sings
Everything is goin’ a bit insane when Everything don’t fit inside your brain Everything’s available for free Don’t thank them for their generosity Everyone is clamoring for space Think they’re gonna win no matter what Just keep on looking up

I enjoyed how eclectic this song is. Lots of cool instruments and a nice laid back vibe makes it easy listening.

Oooh, those harmonized vocals. A nice touch. I agree, the groove is contagious. A pretty damn fitting message, too.

The vocals quite literally make this sing. Nice harmonies and intertwining lines all supported by that subtle minimalist cello.

I was enjoying the groove as the song started, and then the vocals came in and just blew me away! Then the harmonies started and blew me away again! Then the overlapping vocals. Yes! Great job layering this arrangement. Great message and a really compelling song!

Your vocal harmonies are really lovely in this, and blend so well with the cello too, I really like the counterpoint - the beat and groove feel both laid back and urgent, and so does the message (but in a repeating affirmations calmly in a mirror way), awesome work
