I make up these stupid fucking songs in my head

Post by Eight Bit Alien »

For like 5 months now my brain has been playing a song it MADE UP BY ITSELF. It's a nowadays trap-type rap song with autotuned vocals and repetitive lyrics.
There's a robot rap gui voice that goes like this. The 'we been takin' part is a 3-note melody, and the 'pills' part is the same note hit over and over again (probably the tonic) -
We been takin
pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills
We been takin
pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills
We been takin
pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills
We been takin
pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills pills

then there's a key change and the same voice goes

We been shootin
guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns
We been shootin
guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns guns

then, not a key change, but the note moves down to the 3rd chord position -

We been pushin
Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight Weight

Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind Grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind

Then a short bridge goes, with a different lead-in note which will lead back to the 'pills' part:

I'm pretty sure the repeated word in every section hits 14 times, so the 'we been takin' must move a little faster, probably broken into thirds. It's fucking inevitable that I actually try to record this

I think the instrumentation are those ubiquitous fast high-hats, but every time the 'pills' part starts, the bass underneath is just one endlessly long sine tone, like if you had a regular deep 808 kick but used paulstretch or something

Then there's another one which I didn't intend to be racist (although it definitely is unfortunately) called Big Dick Swag, which goes like
My dick big
My dick big
My dick big
My dick big

My dick swing
My dick swing
My dick swing
My dick swing

My dick swing like a bell (bell sound)
My dick - my dick big
My dick swing like a bell (bell sound)
My dick - my dick big

Big dick swag
Big dick swag
Big dick swag
Big dick swag

Big dick swag
Big dick swag
Big dick swag
Big dick swag
I don't know what the fuck it means that you dick swings like a bell.

I can't sing any of these to anyone because it just sounds like I've been reading Stormfront, which isn't the case, I'm just genuinely this fucking stupid

I will 100% record a version (or collab on it if someone wants to do the vox, so I don't have to use a modulator)

Alright so here's a quick sketch I did a few months ago... the repetitive beeping melody is roughly how I imagined the vocals would go. So in a 'real' version of the song, the keyboard melody would be doing something different, with autotuned vocals saying 'pills pills pills pills' in place of this version's lead melody.

1. This didn't come out sounding right. It's not the way it sounds in my head. It's just a demonstration of how it COULD sound
2. The melody isn't really what I wanted - I don't think it should sound so pentatonic. Nowadays trap stuff has melodies that sound a lot more 'positive' to me, like they're genetically related to cellphone jingles... something that sounds happy even though the lyrics are about stealing your moms cancer medication
3. The rhythm isn't quite right, I think it would be better if the 'pills pills pills' melody was slower, with the hats and drums being a bit faster (I dont fucking know)

One thing that did turn out good here is that it's unbelievably fatiguing to listen to and look at.

Thanks for providing that sketch, it's definitely helpful. I started working on it and have the framework in place as well as an idea for approaching the melody, but that needs to be fleshed out. I'm having to take some artistic liberties because I'm not very good at executing other people's ideas musically unless I'm collaborating in the same room or something.

cxwx - feel free to record some vocals and send my way. I'm keeping the same bpm and framework as the sketch for the most part.

Do whatever you want bro, obviously. I almost didnt post that because I don't really want it to influence whoever might try to record a version of the song.
