Old Song Concept

 

Hi, It's me Ryoppa again, and I'm back to talk about a song concept that predates Marchwinds (but is after Koraku in chronological order of song ideas)

This song had a few names, among ones I've forgotten but the idea was sort of consistent: Valentine's Day was approaching and I felt lonely. This is probably my first big attempt at writing a song. 

I recently started using Logic Pro, and I have to say it works really well with my workflow (at least at the time of writing this) and is just...better than FL Studio was for me! FL felt very scattered and hard for me to navigate constantly swapping windows all the time but Logic is just very nice and neat.

Back to the actual song: This was going to use Adachi Rei's VCCV bank, as I really liked hearing her usage in the soon to be released MACHINA MORI and also GIMMICK GIRL by MonochromeMenace. 

While there were many itterations of this song idea, eventually leading me to scrap it and instead make marchwinds, here's what the final one I came up with sounded like.

These were placeholder lyrics, lyrics are usually the last thing I write.

I didn't really like the direction I was going in, and with a mix of teenage angst, the song weathergirl by Flavor Foley hitting me with inspiration again (Queen of Venus inspired me to use Rei) I wrote marchwinds. That's something I'll discuss some other time though.
