06 I Did Not Think My Life Would Turn Out Like This

Liner Notes

#synthesizerv #rvc #rock

I took a big break and thought I was done, but now I'm thinking I will see how many songs I can knock out before 50/90 is over this year. Again, using Synthesizer V for the vocals and then replacing it using RVC of my voice. My voicebank needs more samples of me singing above C5 because the vocal replacement is dying in the high registers, LOL.

Lyrics

There's a house with a white picket fence
That was your dream if you had any sense
So I set my mind to it
I studied hard in school, but I couldn't do it

I'm just a big stupid moron
My brain seems to lack a switch to turn on
I ended up dropping out of college
Now look at me, I'm just an alcoholic

My neighbor has a son my age
and he's even dumber than me
But his father's rich as hell
So he'll never have any worries

A steady job, a wife and two kids
That's all impossible when your life hits the skids
I need a genie who can grant me one wish
I never thought my life would turn out like this

I'm just another problem for society
How do you fix it? Well, that's beyond my ability
So I guess I'm just gonna give up
Won't you please kindly drop some spare change in my cup?

I'm currently living in a tent
It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter but I pay no rent
That's what happens when you drop out of college
Now look at me, I'm just an alcoholic

My neighbor has a son my age
and he's even dumber than me
But his father's rich as hell
So he'll never have any worries

A steady job, a wife and two kids
That's all impossible when your life hits the skids
I need a genie who can grant me one wish
I never thought my life would turn out like this

Hey, don't you worry
I'm gonna pull myself up by my bootstraps
All I need from you is
a million dollars in cold hard cash

A steady job, a wife and two kids
That's all impossible when your life hits the skids
I need a genie who can grant me one wish
I never thought my life would turn out like this

A steady job, a wife and two kids
That's all impossible when your life hits the skids
I need a genie who can grant me one wish
I never thought my life would turn out like this

I like it when the ghosts in the machine trip the vocal synths: all gnarly and, um, real. [I've been using Vocaloid and it has stubborn moments where it refuses to sing certain phonetics "correctly" -- not always a bad outcome tbh ]

The sing-along melody contrasts neatly with the message; that's a nice ebb-and-flow as you build to the chorus. 👏

[Now off to find out what RVC & Replay are all about. 🤓]

So much fun to play with technology. It's changing so fast, constant new toys. My voice can blow those high notes, too. :)
