[Synthesizer V SOLARIA] What Are We Here For (original song for 50/90)
Channel: Anomie Train
Date: 2022-07-07

This is my first song for the 50 Songs in 90 Days! (2022) Project. I'm aiming for one or two songs a week. I don't think it's helpful (at least for me) to try and knock out a song every other day for 90 days. You'll just end up with a bunch of noodling stuff and random stuff that you could hardly call a song.

I'm using my laptop for this, so I'm using Synthesizer V Studio Basic--BUT, I'll switching to my main PC to render the vocals in the full version of Synth V and full SOLARIA voicebank. I'm using my small pedalboard for the guitar instead of VSTs for this.

Guitar - DOD Compressor - Pure Sky Overdrive - DOD Delay - Walrus ACS1

I've got my full version of Presonus Studio One on my laptop now for my DAW.

Lyrics

There's something in the wind today
There's a wonderful smell wafting my way
I think my neighbor is grilling some meat
Maybe I'll ask him for something to eat

Oh, will you look at that, he's ignoring me
I'm waving my arms but he's pretending he doesn't see
Oh, come on, man--learn to share a little, will ya?
Giving me on little hot dog won't kill ya

One juicy hot dog is all I ask
I promise one day I'll pay you back
What are we here for then, if not to show a little compassion?
Those of you who've made it, you gonna ignore those of us who haven't?

There's a danger in the air today
There's some people who want things turned back like yesterday
It took a lot from me to get my rights
No way I'm gonna give them up without a fight

One juicy hot dog is all I ask
I promise one day I'll pay you back
What are we here for then, if not to show a little compassion?
Those of you who've made it, don't ignore those of us who haven't
(repeat)
