I had this idea while I was in New Orleans. I wanted to try and make a sort of PSA about how to wear your hitRECord button fashionably. It's supposed to be cheesy and ridiculous, so please don't be offended. :)

I was inspired by Robo_J's track, and one thing led to another with this as the end result! 

I found Jooshua's guitar track and it sounded like a simple/sweet love song. So, that is just what I made it out to be. I wanted to try something different, and I played some real drums and piano for once, hopefully that trend will continue. The lyrics are overly simple, perhaps somebody else may want to write up something better, but they work for what the song is.

And finally, and most importantly, the awesome Robo J was kind enough to add some kicking bass to the tune. Well, there you have it. Hope the mix sounds ok. I tried some new things.

your lyrics found me in a very low-fidelity mood :) i imagine this song being played by a very sweaty band in some hole-in-the-wall bar packed wall to wall with happy drunks.

(which, i'm guessing, wasn't your original vision when you wrote those words down. whoops!)

lyrics (copied from http://www.hitrecord.org/records/363976 )

you just close your eyes and sleep

like the avereage human being

you used to be a dreamer

a cloudwalker

you used to be a prayer

a late night microwaver

funny dreams

from mix of Melatonin and caffeine

coffee with old marshmellows and

pecan praline icecream

you used to be okay

with recycled wind

and my mental decay

talking inbetween the lines

reading all your old newspapers from 1999

but you're no dreamer to me

and i'm no dreamer to you

just dreaming about driving and crashing cars

when you used to dream about me, too

you're not the dreamer i thought i knew..

I continue to be utterly floored by the positive response to my dinky little circles texture I drew a while back, mostly because I'm sort of infamous for being incapable of drawing circles. Like, it's a thing, where I'll be trying to diagram something quickly for my mother and she'll take one look at it and go, "Julia, how is it that you can draw so beautifully and yet you are incapable of making a circle look like a circle?" That is a good question, Mom! I have no idea!

So when I saw the texture rejjie made of my circles I was flabbergasted and overcome with joy. Like, even more than I was when the circles got re-rec'd. I seriously suggest you go to the resources, heart the texture, and use it as much as physically possible, because it's mind-bogglingly gorgeous. And I instantly had to draw something for it. It's not anything particularly imaginative - pretty lady + cool texture so I don't have to bother with background is sort of my default mode and a lot of what I drew back when I was considering doing art for a living, but I think it looks nice. And when my mom walked past, she gave it a verbal thumbs up. So we already know it's better than my circles.
