Liner Notes

As is traditional by this point in FAWM, I've got loads of half finished songs on the go but nothing was really inspiring me, so I started something new, while setting myself limitations. I wanted to try to create an interesting arrangement just by using automation on a handful of basic parts.

The drums have a low pass filter that moves up and down at various points and the other parts have bits of volume and reverb automation on them.

Lyrics

another humble brag
it's the last thing we need
a wannabe demagogue
what a thing to be
try to have hope, my love
it can't be easier
to watch the illiterate
burn down your libraries

in a world where nuance died
we've dispensed with the grey
we only see black and white
and converse in cliche
it's a slippery, slippery slope, my love
and who knows where it ends
what sins brought us to this place?
is it too late to repent?
