Track 4 off Crystal Vistas! I really wanted to mix Gameboy with a very real orchestral sound and mixing in vocaloid (Eleanor Forte from Synthesizer V) seemed like a natural choice. I actually prefer the original to the new AI version so here she is :)

This track is from the viewpoint of a master computer who was put in charge of a managing a city but simply couldn't handle or comprehend how to take care of everyone. This track is a little bit of therapy, working through how to be ok with the current situation.

Lyrics:

How do you sit in between

Beyond the words that I can't reach

Morning comes, I talk to you

And wonder if you're drifting too

I am fast asleep

Did I lose control?

Dreamt I took the wheel

Now nothing's in one piece

Nobody picks up my calls

Beyond the sea, outside these walls

It's been hard to feel ok

I'm rising up I'll float away

I am fast asleep

Did I lose control?

Dreamt I took the wheel

Now nothing's in one piece

"Crystal Vistas" is a collection of separate songs written during the last few years, they all seemed to align when I put them together. Crystal Vistas is a fictional city inspired by a VHS movie a friend put on called Robot Wars. The album concept is a soundtrack to visit an abandoned metropolis.
