the sample comes from my own song, old kid, you can find it on my EP here: https://rainrain.bandcamp.com/track/old-kid-3

color me out

(i missed out)
but it’s okay cause i’ve been
catching up
(i missed out)
things are better than they were
things are better

(i missed out)
but it’s okay, although you’re,
losing track
(i missed out)
i wonder what you picture
when you think of me

cause it’s so inconvenient
you pretend that nothing’s changed
you just color me out, like
i’m not a girl, just weird and strained
you haven’t made the difference
in these two years, you think that i’m the same
yeah, like i’m the same

(i missed out)
but it’s okay cause i’ve been
cheering up
(i missed out)
it took a while, but i got there
it took a while

(i missed out)
but it’s okay, i think you
have my back
(i missed out)
i just wonder if you
know your oldest daughter

cause it’s so inconvenient
you pretend that nothing’s changed
you just color me out, like
i’m not a girl, just weird and strained
you haven’t made the difference
in these two years, you think that i’m the same
yeah, like i’m the same

i feel invisible
you don’t call me what i want
am i so hard to deal with?
then color me out

yeah, i’ve not been quiet
i get told that i’m too loud
then why are things the same?
just color me out

i’m not sad, i’m just older
i’m not sad, now i’m older
but you know, you’ve got a new kid?
you know, you got a new kid

i’m not sad, i’m just older
i’m not sad, now i’m older
you have to know, you’ve got a new kid
you gotta know, you’ve got a new kid

i’m not sad, i’m just older
i’m not sad, now i’m older
but you know, you got a new kid?
you know, you’ve got a new kid

not sad, i’m just older
i’m not sad, now i’m older

I don't think there's anything wrong with picking one of your own songs to sample, but it does mean that this just sounds like "a Rain Watt song" rather than "a Rain Watt song based around sampling" because it's hard to tell which bits are the samples (even when I know which bit is the sample... if that makes any sense). It's a Rain Watt song though, which means I loved it. The slowdown bit catches me off guard a bit every time, I love the way it builds back up but maybe the initial halt is a bit severe? But then I tend to find myself struggling a bit with this kind of tempo / dynamic shift, one of my favourite bands (Martha) does it a lot and those songs never end up being my favourite. These are nitpicky things though, this is still one of the best songs of the round and probably my favourite outside of challenge / title boosts (see comments on Merisan for further confused ramblings about song rankings).
