I invented a #superhero called Boner-Man, whose boner has limitless stretch abilities, limitless strength, and moves at lightning speed (the protruding boner is always covered by a red spandex). He can use it to sling across a city like spider-man, or wrap it around the Earth’s moon and hurl it at an alien mothership. His powers are only present while aroused, and unfortunately he can only get aroused by frotteurism. This leads to endless legal issues and compromises by the judicial system as they must punish him, but not too much, because they still need his help.
“Under City Lights” was GoBoy’s 1st song made with #LogicPro, which has been used for every song since, and it’s about a girl that I was enamored with at the time. The chorus lyrics say “got a free lollipop from the party store,” because those were the first words she said to me. We ended up doing one of those “long distance relationship” things for a year.
This was written as a full length song, but only 1 minute of it was produced. Plan was to eventually produce the rest, but “Fresh Like Whoa (Song 4)” became a distraction because it was more exciting.
The chorus beat was inspired by “Burnin’ Up” by @jonasbrothers.
The chorus melody and lyrics were eventually reused for the bridge in “Girl Like That (Song 8).”
I watched the film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” on an autumn night with about a dozen teens my age after uploading “Under City Lights” to the internet. It’s a fond memory.
For these early songs, plagued with bad production quality, a lofi amp plugin was used on a majority of the vocals, making it sound like I’m singing through a crappy radio transmission. The lofi amp plugin sounded good to me at the time because it cut out low frequencies and accentuated mid-high range frequencies. Those results could have been accomplished with EQ, which would have avoided the lofi sound, but I didn’t know that that was an option. Also wouldn’t learn about adding compression to vocals until song 9. (excerpts from post 1).
Girl pants, flat iron straightened #emo hair, gauges, screamo bands, necklaces, way too many bracelets. Stoney Creek #HighSchool friends and I were part of the American Midwest’s “scene subculture,” often labeled as “#scenekids,” which emerged from the pre-existing emo subculture. A subculture within a subculture (subcultureception). Basically emo, but our color scheme wasn’t limited to black. Some of the biggest artists to arise from this subtle counterculture subculture are We Came As Romans (@wecameasromans), Of Mice & Men (@omandm) and Beartooth (@beartoothband). This subculture consumed my life throughout the production of songs 1 - 4 (excerpt from post 1).
