I had the chord progression and a melody, but I couldn't think of anything else to add to the song, so I just decided to layer a bunch of synths together as the track went on. Not the most comprehensive effort I've made this month, but definitely a change of pace for me. I hope you enjoy it!

Instruments Used:

Korg Poly-800
Korg MicroKORG

Try not to think about the people that you know
Feels like they watch your every step
Deep down, they've got you figured out
It makes you want to push away
But you might regret it

Too many things for you to deal with every day
Wish you could put your life on pause
The wheel of time will never stop, and you're just a prop
Just a player in the game
It's time to accept this

  Great synth sound and the vocal and melody works together really well. Nice line 'The wheel of time will never stop, and you're just a prop'

  I really like the synth solo line and the chord progression. It sounds very original and works really well. Some really relatable lyrics too. .

  I think this arrangement really works. Love the marching chords on the keys. Love the mini modulation on the third line. And really love the vocal melody. It all fits together really nicely and it's well worth developing it.

  Is this at all inspired by Among Us? Because that's a game ["Just a player in the game"] and that's the game that seemed to make the word "sus" popular. Had to check the song out based on the title haha

  I love a microKORG! I miss mine loads. Loads of great synth sounds here and very relatable lyrics. I think everyone’s felt like that at some point.

  The line 'hanging out' at the end of each verse makes me want to hear more of the song's story!
