I wasn't expecting to submit a track but after hearing Benedict's super creative take on the 303 I starting playing around with it. I had a blast and came up with this song in two marathon sessions.
All of the sounds I was coming up with were pretty dark so I wrote some really dark lyrics to go along with it. The song is called Under the Dirt. I'm especially fond of the "guitar" sound I came up with. I'm dedicating that to Benedict.

Under the Dirt
I wake up in the morning
A long night without much rest
For a few minutes I feel
What I have long suppressed
Early mornings are the worst
Time to reflect and replay
When the alarm rings
I’m too tired to face the day
My wounds are not healing
I just can't shake this hurt
My scars won't fade
Until I'm under the dirt
I feel like a failure
I did as much as I could
I may explode
If I hear the word “should”
Lately I've been feeling
Like I've got a hole in my head
Who cares about a broken heart
When you're already dead?
Still nostalgic about the old days, writing songs with my Amiga 500, Korg M1, and Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler.
