about

Originally written for a video art project, I (Bud) decided that this track didn't belong on the Education Is FTW! album, so I am releasing it as the first official single by The Perfect Place. I haven't decided if I'll put it on the record we're working on yet, but if I do, I'll likely add Christin's vocals in place of my own.

When I did the first draft of this song, it had no vocals at all, and only one chord progression throughout. It still has the former, but I felt that adding vocals would make the track more complete and give a bit more substance to the song in general. The song is still one chord progression the entire time, but the layered synth lines and fluid, changing drum beats (hopefully) make it feel less repetitive than it actually is.

Sorry if that explanation ruined the magic. Enjoy.

lyrics

This rain
Washes away
Thoughts, hopes, and dreams
Of yesterday

Fall, descend
Erase, create, begin
