Falling Stars

Challenge: PUBLIC DOMAINLiner Notes
I set out this morning to write a pop banger. This is what came out. It’s about a modern relationship and dealing with social media and the constant connection, conflict, needy-ness and disintegration of culture.
Wrote all the music on my IPad with synth plugins… drop it in to pro-tools and recorded vox.
“Don’t look up” is my public domain reference for the movie of course… pretty loose but I’m trying to get the challenges done.
Lyrics
Falling Stars
Intro
Don’t look up
you swear you never judge
Losing touch
V1
I Feel my heart beat
My only human contact
It seems I’ve lost me
Somewhere among
The endless content
Another story
Just a couple reels
What’s the worry
Just grasping for the feels
Pre-chorus
I can’t hold on
I can’t show up
I don’t know how anymore
Just a face
Whispers trace
Windowless
This hell I explore
Chorus
Just look at your insta
for answers
Cause your never home
You leave me a trail
Of Photos
But I’m out in the cold
(Your question the goals
I am after
But you can’t put down your phone)
V3
Don’t look up
You swear you never judge
Losing touch
Somewhere among the stars
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge
Don’t know if I can’t
Make it out
Can I escape
The machine
Chorus
