Lyrics written and performed by Pauly B

This is another piece made for an independent project. This was intended to be used for in-field adventuring between objectives. Something light and playful, something that makes you want to go exploring.

Boy did I learn a lot from this one. I wanted to keep simple instruments with synth accompaniment this time as opposed to enhancements. A lot was separated between instruments like pianos, organs, and picked basses, to created synths and sound effects. I paid more attention to the stereo effects, panning from right to left and back and forth, as well as evening out volumes accordingly.

I'm a tad nervous about the lyrics. I know they haven't always gone over well in the past, but this time I made sure everything was organized and even, and I spent a lot of extra time polishing out as many bugs as I could with it. I learned how to master some of the settings with the editing program. I also learned how to smooth things out a little better as far as pitch changes, but it's not perfect. Luckily, I made it so that the lyrics can be cut out at any time for use in the video game. Always gotta have a plan B.

I took a little longer this time to ensure that everything was as smooth as I could have possibly made it. I really hope you guys enjoy this one, I put my entire heart into it. Thank you all so much for the listen . . . and keep reaching for the clouds!

LYRICS:

Here we stand // A new adventure lies before us

So just take my hand // I'll be here to guide you through this

Cause we all need friends // everything you do will make us proud

And it never ends

So just reach up to the clouds

Reach up to the clouds

When you reach up to the clouds // You will always make me proud

When you reach up to the clouds

Bro this is dope, the instrumental backing has such a sega saturn/ Sonic R sound to it.

Listening to this, I could totally imagine it having been a sonic R bonus track back in the day.
Really great to hear new stuff from you all these years later bro! can't wait to hear more.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

I think I responded to a review in the older era that said I'd never stop making music. The forced hiatus I took definitely took its toll on me, but I survived and I'm back and better than ever. Thanks for being there this whole time.

I appreciate those kind words. Perhaps I've been inspired in ways I can't comprehend myself. But it's the ultimate dream and I'm definitely not gonna stop any time soon.
