Hello! I am Bandaid Boy, a musician from youtube! Here is my channel.
I do a lot of vocal music with chiptune instrumental tracks. I use audacity to put my tracks together and I make the chiptune with Jummbox (which is completely free to use online with no download necessary)
People reading the lyrics of my songs: Holy shit… um… are you all right? 0_0
Me, giddy as a baby goat in the springtime because I just wrote a song: I am AWESOME :D :D :D
(^ actual picture of me. would I lie to you?)
Anyway:
>Tonight I was listening to Aretha Franklin
>She sang the words “you love”
>I misheard it as “new low”
>I thought “Huh, that would make a great song title”
>I sat down with the guitar and came up with this fun (if rather unoriginal) chord progression
>Then I cranked out some lyrics to put over the top
Voilà. It took less than an hour from start to finish, demo recording and everything. I’m pretty pleased.
Lyrics below:
New Low
I’ve reached a new low
Bet you’re surprised how much lower I could go
I’ve got you to thank for some of it
And the rest piled up like snow
I just thought you might like to know
It seems
All your hopes for me were pipe dreams
The grey skies of my destiny
Were too much for your sunbeams
Only steel still gleams
And when I finish writing this note to you
I doubt you’ll know much more than you already do
But still, you might feel satisfied
You never liked to leave loose ends untied
You always claimed I sometimes lied
Well, babe, here’s something true
I’m running out of space
No more lines upon the paper, no more tears upon my face
When you read these words tomorrow
Won’t you grant me a little grace?
I’ve reached a new low, and I know this is my place
