Driving (New Original Song) (Patreon)

Hey guys! I hope you're well.

During the beginning of the year, I shared a bit of this song during one of the hangouts on Patreon. It's finally finished, but I'm still working on the arrangement. I wanted to show you guys how it's going.

The piano plays through the end and I'm just experimenting, trying to find a vibe. The intention is to consolidate that into either a solo-like melody or try something else.

The background vocals are in the idea phase. I'm trying things out. I like some stuff, I'm hoping to improve other parts. It really helps me to lay down the ideas I have and I go for walks listening over and over, until one day, something just jumps out to me as being the right way to go. hahaha!

All modesty aside, I'm really loving how the lyrics turned out. You may hear a reference to Malukast Ep. 3, where I talk about writing. And there's also a reference to a specific situation I lived that I will tell you about in Malukast Ep. 6 

For now... here they are!More soon. Thank you. ❤️Malu

Driving

I'm driving away from overplayed songsTank full of gas and an empty trunkLeaving my cellphone and all the noise behindWind in my hair and sun on my backComparisons fade if I don't keep trackI'm taking a break to search for some respite

I've got no plansDidn't bring a GPSSo there's no one here to tell me where my next stop is...

I'm just driving down this road...Yeah, I'm driving down this road...

Why do I long for things I don't needImposter in clothes I'm fidgeting inIll-fitting dreams that aren't even mineThe truth of it all is now sinking inIt's been far too long since I've heard myself thinkAnd felt my heart beat to live and not just to die

And the worst part, is somehow I still felt just fineI got used to lying to myself this whole damn time...Now I'm driving down this roadYes, I'm driving down this roadAnd I don't know where it goesI'm just driving down this road...
