Here's my EP..
The link is only available for 2 more days. I'll re-upload it in case anyone misses it. But the EP doesn't work the way it's supposed to work by simply making a Spotify playlist.
Not Gonna Do It
1. Smiling-Shopping Cart 0:00Narrator: Let's go shopping!!
2. Persifone-Returning To The Source 1:53Narrator: At the end of every shopping trip, what do you do with your cart? Do you return it to the source, the corral, the store? Or do you just leave it near your car, as it's someone's job to come get it. Are you a bad person if you leave it?
Such stress in this one decision.
"So much dark around this step
So much fear... Ignorance... The humankind
We have been instructed
Hypnotized during our life
Instilling in us
I transcend this spiritual step
Losing my being, my ego
I let myself go..."
3. James Labrie-Undecided 8:32Narrator: Society is putting pressure on us, slowly changing our behaviors. Making our decisions for us.
"The pulpit the teachers
Have warned us
Blindly accepting
Their words as truth
Can't help that you're suspicious
Something is missing
Still you can't decide
But you're letting them guide you
How can we listen
These empty words
In their messages meanings"
4. VOLA-Controllable 13:52Narrator: No one should control what we do. We should return the carts why? because it's the right thing to do? Who says? Why is one looked down upon for leaving the cart for the carriage boy?
"He was never sure of the decisions made before he found a way to take control of his head
Now he has decided he will not be all divided by the sentiments that bring him to his knees
He is getting tired of illusions undesired showing up and pulling him out of peace
We are not controllable
I am not controllable"5. Death-A Moment Of Clarity 18:52Narrator: At once, the moment is clear. The choice is made. Not
for him, but
by him.
"Life is like a mystery
With many clues but with few answers
To tell us what it is
That we, can do to look
For messages, that keep us from the truth
Open my eyes
Wide to see
A moment of clarity
Confusion gone"
6. Bonus Hidden Track
Horchata Network-Shopping Cart Chorale 27:49Song notes:
1. Returning To the Source, with the chaotic vocals represents the stress involved.
2. Things lighten a bit in mood with Undecided. It represents reasoning.
3. Things get a bit heavier with Controllable, as the resentment starts to build.
4. A Moment Of Clarity represents full "fuck it" mode.
5. The last line of the hidden track is...beautiful.
Editing Notes:
1. I cut most of the outro to Returning The Source. It kind of goes on and on. If you're familiar with the song, you'll pick up on that right away, and it'll likely sound weird to you.
2. The transition between Undecided and Controllable was one that I struggled with. I tried all sorts of ways. Ultimately I just tried to hit it on the beat. I did raise the treble a bit on Controllable to try and make it closer to Undecided. There is a slight sound difference between the songs, but I was just kind of stuck with it.
3. I really struggled in how to bring in A Moment Of Clarity. Nothing I did I was happy with. I ultimately decided to download a sound effect of a carriage being pushed and crossfaded it between the two tracks.
4. A Moment Of Clarity crossfades into Static. I like how some albums finish like that before the final line. I added Dana Carvey's classic "Not gonna do it" after the static after a brief pause. Kind of like the ending to SFAM.
5. I left two minutes of silence to simulate a true "hidden track".
