Liner Notes
This song is for the #CommentsFirst challenge (https://write.fawm.org/forums/3025). It was written based on the first few comments it received. This take is very rough but I have other things I need to do today.
One day, I will see Sacramento based experimental hip-hop group Death Grips.
Lyrics
Counting sheep never did that much for you You want something real
You want to get punched in the face By someone with really cool hair You want to feel joy In the jagged sounds of anger and despair
This pillow's far too soft for you You want something rough Against your head
You want to belt gibberish That means something to you You want to be the happiest, Most annoying guy in the room
Better get some rest kid, One day you'll see Death Grips Get that golden ticket And it will smell like piss and vomit
Forget what all your friends did (it goes it goes) You got to see Death Grips (it goes it goes)
It goes it goes it goes...

The first line was absolutely awesome, and then you crashed out another great one: "You want to get punched in the face - by someone with really cool hair " What a lyric, I have a lot of fun. For some reason this reminds me a lot of Radiohead... maybe it's that strange vibe?

wow just immediately the guitar hits you and its so cool and then the chord progession just continues to be intriguing and a little dissonant

This is soooo good Henry! I love the percussive elements in the pauses, really moves the song and makes it super interesting!

I think you invented a new kind of lullaby.
My favorite part is the key changes bringing the pitch down, rather than up like you would expect there.
Good body percussion too. Way to make the most of the pauses!
That was so precious 🥹

Lullaby for the tough guy, huh? A twist, for sure, but surprisingly calming despite the lyrics. That was fun to listen to.
