【Synthesizer V Solaria】 Good Old Days [original song]
Channel: Anomie Train
Date: 2022-01-28

(Yeah, I just realized I screwed up and put Solaris instead of Solaria in the video. OOOPS!)

Continuing my practice run for the upcoming FAWM 2022. Just a basic track with drums, piano, Synthesizer V Solaria, and bass. I violated my cardinal rule about FAWM, though--I got hung up and spent way too much time on this one--mainly with the lyrics. I completed one verse, the chorus, and the bridge before I caught myself just spending too much time on it, so for now, I just repeated the verse for verses 2 and 3.

Again, I wrote this on the piano instead of my usual way of writing on the guitar. I don't play the keyboards--I just draw in the chords in the DAW. But, because I'm so lazy, I went and found a collection of midi chords and progressions so I can just drag and drop them in my DAW. If you are a newbie, it's helpful because they are organized by key, so you can just mess around and play with different progressions without worrying about if it's in the key and if you can use it. You can find the midi collection at:

Lyrics (unfinished, I'll finish it one day)

Verse1

I want some pizza real bad
I never got to eat it much as a kid
I lived in a run down home with my deadbeat dad
Ketchup and cheese on toast was what we did

Chorus

I don't miss those days at all
There's no such thing as the good old days
Maybe I had happy moments that I don't recall
But I'd rather look to my future and what's coming my way

repeat verse/chorus

Bridge

I always got such bad vibes
from the people I grew up around
I knew when I turned 18
I'd make my plans to get the hell out of town

repeat verse/chorus
