This track is my entry for this year's Super Secret Porta, a group collaborative year-end album in the PxTone server. The assignment is to remix or rearrange a track done by a PxToner. I got "Loup Garou" by MyuPicks. It was a track that is impressively complex when looking at the Ptcop file. Since the original's title is French for "werewolf", I wanted to lean fully into that and craft a narrative around that.

Done in FL Studio using a combination of FLEX, musicradar drum samples and the SGM v2 soundfont. I wrote and performed the lyrics. The music was all sequenced into FL Studio using the ptcop project file for reference.

LYRICS

One portentous night out in the bitter cold

Our bond stretched so thin we knew it couldn't hold

Out of all things we could have feared

You'd yet to know

Two strangers in love in a losing game

Each strategy played, the outcome was the same

So I tried to be an anomaly

That way you would never toy with my heart and break it again

And after all was said and done

You took to the woods like scared prey on the run

A luminous glaze fell and lit up the glade

I froze in its glare, defiantly in vain

Though I tried to hide, deeply petrified,

There in the shadows a transformation was about to take its final phase

--------------------------------------------------

Full moons, bleak nights

On the prowl for flesh

Of the one who betrayed my trust

Clawing at trees, aggravated intent

Yearning a taste of that fresh revenge

I won't stop until I confront him again

Run, as the light takes hold

Raging uncontrolled

Strike his heart

Tear into his soul

Take to the hunt at a menacing pace

Turning up bare in a hopeless chase

I'm left to console all alone

All alone

Isolate, alternate, replicate, deviate, mediate, vitiate, doubt and manipulate

Disappear and don that sheepskin

Cry your tears and dive right deep in

(Come and face the beast that seeks you

And for once become your own fool

Make a pact that touts your mindless

Sludge to leave the past behind us)

How could you pretend that everything's fine

When you crossed the line once more? 

Oh your tactics

Send chills down my spine

(Chills down my spine

The past behind

Lie to yourself

All is fine)

---------------------------

The night left its mark as the day broke in

The wolf reverted to human form again

Guess I was that anomaly

You could rescind
