FAWM: "Whatca Doin"

Whatca Doin

Liner Notes

On a kick of writing weird pop songs with minimal arrangements I guess. I used this plugin called Codec that makes the song sound like it's coming out of a cell phone from 2003 or something. Just kinda felt that vibe with the lyrics, like you're texting a low res MP3 of this song you wrote to someone who just wants you to leave em alone.

Lyrics

Whatcha doin Where you goin Are you gonna be out today? Whatcha seein? Where ya headin? Is it somewhere better than me

I been watchin, your location Force myself to stay awake In the mirror, I am headin towards a place where you can’t be

Callin you from my cell phone When you just want to be alonee Waitin for when I can see you, to brush my hair and shave my face Need to know what you’re doin so that I can breathe

Do you wake up In your bedroom Thinkin bout me everyday? I don’t think so, wish I didn’t Feel exactly the same way

Push me away cause I need it Maybe if you were farther away We’d have time to remember Every moment, we spent on

Buildin all the momentum We’ve been waiting for it to happen Need to know what your doin So I can breathe

Holy 💩. I love the vibe you created with the plugin but this is catchy and fun as hell. The plugin connected perfectly with your lyric, creating almost like a song/scene - I can see the person back in 2003, setting their Motorola down, and playing to a person on the other side of the line.

Digging the kinda pop-punk vibe to this. Like Weezer on a teeny bit of meth? ;) And I love the deliberate downgrade you applied to it. It's a really cool effect!

You are doing some really interesting things rhytmically. I dig it and I stamp my foot in the sand but where is 1? I dont know and I like it.

Cool 90's indie feel. Not sure if it's a creepy story about a stalker or a love song, but then hey, 'Every Breath You Take' by The Police was once the most chosen 1st dance song at weddings...

this is awesome! so catchy. i like the sound of that plugin. it fits with the song well. "need to know what you're doing so that i can breathe" is such a good line.
