Oh my dear

A song for my dog, Minhoca

Current weather: 7°C (Sunny)

Liner Notes

This song is my participation on the Casiocore challenge. All sounds come from my Casio SK-1.

The song is for my dog, Minhoca.

Lyrics

Day and night
I wait for you
Counting the tiles
Looking for a clue

I wait for you
Until it’s dark
That is true
I look for you in the park

Cause I’ll be here for you
Every day
And I’ll be waiting for you
Until you stay

I crawl into my bed
There’s your picture on the wall
Tomorrow I’ll be better
Today I’ll fall

Why do you leave
Where do you go?
Where can I find you
When you’re past my door?

Cause I’ll be here for you
Every day
And I’ll be waiting for you
Until you stay

And until that day comes
I’ll be waiting for you
Until the night we’re together
I’ll be here for you

I’ll be here

Nice retro sound! Fits the living-only-in-one's-memories very well! For my taste, there could be a second instrument at the end to open that sound up a bit and contrast with it, but that wouldn't be cssiocore any longer, right? 😉

There's something so satisfying about the old school casiotone sound. It might be cool to add some reverb and roll off some of the high end of the vocals and go for a full Casiotone For The Painfully Alone vibe.

Oh damn. I have an SK-1. I need to do some casiocore. Dang, those rhythms are fantastic. This sounds like reaching out to someone you don't know yet. Not a stalker... but looking for connection. Or trying to befriend a stray cat maybe.

I recognized that beat right off the hop - including the rhythm fill. Nicely done. The organ sound is still one of my favourites on the SK-1. This brings back memories of playing around with it when I was much younger - which fits well with the theme of your lyrics. Great song! See You In The Shadows…

Ah, dog songs! 🐶 For some reason now that I think about it, the #casiocore genre I think suits itself to pet dedications. Very cool, and makes me want to get a casio keyboard for next FAWM... PS: You could also tag this #onesynth, no? 😀

That was fun. Oh the times I used that percussion when I was trying to master keyboards (never did).
