Kay - TWO/TRACK MIND【Hatsune Miku & Akita Neru】

Note - this song does not do well without headphones Hi, here's a song pulled out of my own two track mind, which it has been wanting to make since before I started on False Idol. Surprisingly my creative vision of it has stayed mostly the same through all that time, and I was able to realize it pretty well. I think the only thing I wasn't able to accomplish was that I originally planned for there to be more overlap in their singing at some points, where each one would be singing different words but they still kinda fit together musically. Like the bridge of Childish War, or that thing musicals sometimes do in the third chorus of a song with two characters where both characters sing their respective choruses at once. Unfortunately, that kinda thing is hard to write it turns out, so I ended up with this (which still has a little overlap in the chorus), which I'm actually pretty happy with. Oh yeah, Neru. I had fun making Neru's voice. If you want to know how to recreate it, sorry I've got no clue. Its a combination of the gender factor and clearness settings in piapro studio, EQing in the DAW, and actively having her sing lower notes than Miku, and I can't remember exactly what I did.

One of these days I'll ask someone to help with some of it... maybe Voicebank for both of them is Hatsune Miku V4X English Music - Studio One and Piapro Studio Video - Davinci Resolve Art - Procreate, Clip Studio Paint Lyrics: Focus fraying/Losing track of what to do Thoughts keep straying/Put it off 'til it's due Trying hard to take steps one at a time/I don't know where I left my list I get lost when something catches my eye/Somehow I always forget I can't keep track of all my thoughts/I don't know what time it is Somehow I got my wires crossed/Stressing over deadlines I'll miss Problems compounding day by day All the time I feel like something's in my way Tools made for someone, just not me And I know exactly what the cause is See, I've got a two track mind and it's driving me insane Endless abstract twinned screaming begging to be entertained Inside this two track mind, it's a nightmare to maintain All my time wasted fighting issues I can't explain To keep this two track mind in a state where I can be Too many thoughts to manage if I let them wander free Stuck with this two track mind for as long as I foresee So I have to handle this mental cacophony No motivation/Can't hear anything through my head Locked in fixations/No clue what you just said Trying hard not to lose my energy/So many thoughts for me to say It doesn't help when it's a necessity/Don't want to drive you away Can't force myself to do the chore/Not sure what you meant by that Somehow I end up on the floor/Don't know if the moment has passed Help is unhelpful (thanks anyway) In the end I blame it on a bad day Of course my case is open-shut Wish it was a curable problem But I've got a two track mind and it's making my life hell A pair of third rate demons no one knows how to expel Inside this two track mind it's a struggle to stay well Get one quiet but the other continues to yell 'Cause with this two track mind I don't get a bit of peace Can't handle silence long without periodic release Stuck with this two track mind with no sign that it will cease And this cognitive discord likely will never decrease Senseless torture, never ending, it echoes in my mind It's hard to fight and hard to live with, but somehow I've survived If I can fixate on the bright side I think I'll turn out fine Maybe I can put this extra track to use and think of some upsides Though life's not easy in most ways And usually my mind is one to blame Maybe I've been a bit too rough It's not just a pure impairment but A lively two track mind, that's a valid part of me An endless cascade of ideas waiting to be seen 'Cause with this two track mind I get all the thoughts I need Twice as much power to process all that I perceive They say my two track mind is a disability And if they're right well at least that means that I'm unique I'll have this two track mind for as long as I can think And I love to live with this synaptic symphony
