Almost

I know that this song is too dark/ironic to be any kind of a hit, I think very few can relate to the story, at least the younger generation, but inspiration is not rational smile This song was relatively easy to write. I didn't use any AI tools during the lyric writing, but I tried one AI website to give association between two themes of the song, dating and bird waiting, and I was surprised how exactly it described the message in my song: "Waiting for a bird is like a boy waiting for his first kiss, impatient and hopeful, but with an ever-present sense of dread that it would never happen."

I felt that the bridge part needed something to stand out, and I was lucky, because I had played the melody on my keyboard an octave higher than the verses and chorus. I had selected Kevin as the singer in Synth V and I was quite sure that Kevin cannot handle those highest notes, but I was totally wrong. Kevin expressed emotions that I hadn't felt since using real singers. All the pain I wanted was there and even more. Amazing technology.

I rarely use so many instruments from a BIAB style, but I started composing with this style and there was never a need to change it, perfect fit with the mood I was looking for. I just added several extra guitars, the organ and used chord track for the synth arpeggio from SynthMaster. So here it is, I hope you get something out of it.

Lyrics:

We got acquainted
with each other, slowly,
had few dates
I expected that if I'm patient
taking tiny steps would open the gates
to the next stage with you
but that was not our fate.

I almost kissed that girl
I almost saw that bird
and now my life's almost passed.
Soon fully complete
something worthy achieved
at long last.

Days in the forest,
my binoculars aimed
at the sky
I withstood all the mud and scratches
wide awake to witness her flying by
heard a sound from afar
but only dusk caught my eye.

I almost...

I still doubt
what if I'm reborn
once again
bad karma to mourn.
The same ordeal
I'd have to live through
to see how my dreams
almost came true.

I almost...
