This is
a cautionary tale about an Eggbug
who found something that they wanna download
which was no longer available for purchase
So there’s a moral obligation to preserve it
but they’re operating on misunderstanding
about how the internet works
in Incognito Mode
your ISP can still see
everything you’re doin'
it makes me feel so old
showing people half my age
how to safely torrent
so please
use a VPN
I found myself laughing to the lyrics, the second half is very real
I like how you worked with the prompt for these lyrics and also I like the singing too, especially the way the singing gets layered
thank you!! I was gonna call it with just the single acoustic and vocal take but I was humming along harmonies when listening back and I had to drop them in
makes me chuckle thinking of a like simon and garfunkel inspired song about the internet
oh man... I'm glad you dropped them in! it really elevated it to me; I love humming along to a song when I've got it at a good point and using that sometimes, it's just a lot of fun, and works super well here in what you've done imo!
as I was reading the prompt, I had all these clandestine eggbugg agency things in mind but then that last line in bold about incognito hit me like a truck and I got inspired lmao
This is surprisingly lovely for the very funny lyrics, I feel you on the being too old!
ahahh thank you! the harmonies made it way prettier than I thought it'd turn out
thank you!! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and the time limit prevented me from going overboard
I LOVE THIS!!! ohh i love to hear vocal takes in stuff like this. you got me smiling the biggest grin. the lil harmonies aah :') the phrasing of the first verse is really cool, especially the way the slant rhyme of "purchase / preserve it" is handled. it comes across so cleanly in the music in a way that it might not if you just read the lyrics. amazing interpretation of the prompt lol, truly wonderful, thanks for making it
thank you again for organizing this!! I've had such a block lately and as soon as the prompt hit I got so much inspiration.
I'm so glad I went with the harmonies, they were not part of the original plan hahah
I hope I don't come across too much as [old man yells at cloud] but I think there's a certain inevitability to it lol
i'm so educated right now....
love the soft guitar! something about hearing the sound of someone's fingers moving across the strings of their guitar makes me feel so nostalgic, which fits the lyrics haha
thank you!! I absolutely love the finger / fret noise and I’ll never forget working with a producer (who tbh was an amazing person to work with otherwise) trying to get me to do takes without them - the incredulity I responded with lmao
