monopoli's listening history
For the lyrics I tried to "paint a picture" rather than tell a story or make a clear point. I was thinking of Caroline No by the Beach Boys about a girl who suddenly lost the glow of youth. The lyric is not quite succesfull but... it will have…

There's several things I tried out that worked really well here; the popcorn-synthsound from the Dark Energy, the speeding up at the end, the minimalistic hiphopbeat. The lyrics are a bit too bla-di-bla for my taste but whatever...

This tune was sounding so dramafree and happy-go-lucky that I decided to write some (uncharacteristically) dramafree and happy-go-lucky lyrics. The sound at the beginning is from my Nokia-phone which I also use as my alarmclock. I was then reminded…
