HOKAY.
its been a minute.
other than these chop poasts no longer existing, i been off working on an album for over a year+ now. in that time i kinda dropped the drums and picked up an acoustic guitar. also stopped smoking for at least 4 months to see if it improves my vocal abilities at all.
anyways.
for this joint i snagged about 3 samples: the main loop heard throughout majority of the song and all the keyboard flourishes.
the drum break i grabbed from sum old obscure japanese funk tune that remains untitled.
i then added live tambourine for half the joint, and ended it with an acoustic guitar switch-up. i had sum percussion done for it too but it kinda sucked so i dumped it.
WAS gonna leave it an instro but was feelin myself as per fucking usual, and been wanting to write a night-themed song for a while now.
oh, and it's 7mins long.
i totally understand if none of y'all wanna see it thru to the end lol. regardless, shit was fun. thanks for bringin this back Torch!

*note: mixing levels may be slightly off due to my right ear being half blocked for over a week now.

lyrics:

NIGHT BLOSSOMS

daylight comes
in a wave of hums
and i still don't know my truth
the sun brings fun
motivates me to run
but i always end up further away
from you
if i close my eyes
the world still shines
& time & space
are no longer in view
when the plants arise
greeting clear blue skies
i'm supposed to feel good
but i'm not over you

it comes & goes
like a tidal flow
on an endless plain
but nobody knows
a persistingly true
love dance with you
i'd say it's 'bout time
but there's no time to lose

hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
and the night only blossoms in June

darkness comes
and a moonbeam runs
cascading through my hair, in June
there's a battle won
as i vanquish the sun
and reclaim my sour mood
from you
once i opened my eyes
to this world of bright lies
i could finally see my path, through
all the mud and flies
never thought would disguise
the hidden light of the moon

it ebbs & flows
like winter ghosts
to a painless end
that we all should know
irresistible you
would never ever do
i'd say it's all love
but there's no love in you

hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
hooo-oh-ohh, hooo-oh-ohh
and the night only blossoms in June.
