Swing Wide
NSFWLiner Notes
The third demo I started for this year's FAWM, but ended up finishing this one first because it was the most inspiring to me at the moment/things were flowing. Fun/rewarding to make and looking forward to the rest of FAWM (hope I can catch up).
Lyrics
Hand caught in your pocket Key caught in the lock Holding on to something Something you forgot
There’s something around the corner There’s something on the line You cannot see it coming You’ve felt it this whole time
I am eager to please I’m the last thing I need I’m a contradiction to myself Always trying to get somebody else To tell me what I need to be ok Can’t make the feeling go away
My mind is boiling over With stupid shit to say Nothing feels familiar Some things never change
I am eager to please I’m the last thing I need I’m a contradiction to myself Always trying to get somebody else To tell me what I need to be ok Can’t make the feeling go away
I am eager to please I’m the last thing I need I’m a contradiction to myself Always trying to get somebody else To tell me what I need to be ok Can’t make the feeling go away
(If you wanna win you gotta play You were gonna lose some anyway Hanging on to who you’ve gotta be Searching for a sense of safety Sink into a whole new fantasy Turn into your own worst enemy)

Great soundscape piece. Big contrast from the grinding Boom a to the high and ethereal vocals. Nice work.

I love this so much. The vocals are beautiful and gentle, the content is #relatable and the counter melody on the last part is FTW. Yes, yes to this song.
