I'm gearing up for a move myself, felt inspired to write about it and lay down some really quick vocal tracks. Might re-record later [EDIT: I have, indeed, re-recorded the vocals. Much happier]. I sped the tempo up to 145 and pitched it up so it's in the key of F major.

I'm missing you Hubski folks - my life has been really crazy the past few months, but I'm hoping things will settle down again soon. Expect to see me in a pubski soon...

LYRICS:

A new start, carried in cardboard

piled up on the stairs

we packed up all the sins we could bear

Oh, we're starting to ache

bags are starting to tear

OK, I guess we'll leave 'em right there

You thought you heard a ghost

You swore you saw her

T-shirts from all the old concerts

stuffed into a drawer

we never have the time anymore

Too tired to set up the bedframe

we'll sleep on the floor

and talk all night like we did before

We felt like we were kids

We felt like having...

How long 'til I can say this is where I'm from?

How will I know when my real life has begun?

Where will my ghost haunt?

Where will my ghost haunt?

Is there a substantial reason to prefer Soundcloud over Clyp for basic audio hosting? I genuinely don't have much strong insight or opinion on the matter, I only really used Clyp for this because I'm running out of storage space on my personal soundcloud

I have no idea dude. I know it embeds here. I know I have an account. I know that because I did that track real quick which required me to switch the rig over to 44.1 my Tidal is now playing back 12% slow which is impossibly LOLLerskates

This is so great, flac! First of all, your voice is amazing. I just love it. The lyrics are amazing too. "Where will my ghost haunt?" -Such a great lyric. Thank you for bringing some joy in to my day with this. Is there a way to download this? I'd like to be able to add some instrumentation to it now that there is a vocal melody.

Also, I thought about you as I was unpacking. I have the Hubski shirt you made for me. I am far too fat to wear it now ;-) But I will always keep it. Maybe I should gift it to mk. He's skinny.

Great work, flac. Such an awesome song now that you've added to it. Onward!

Also, good luck with the move!!

edit: jonaswildman have a listen.

Thank you, TNG - thanks for giving the motivation to record something! Glad you still have that shirt lying around, was just thinking about that actually.
