Liner Notes

So my take on this challenge was more to do with the lyrics that the music. I think the music fits but it wasn't what I was going for. I wanted to write something that acts as a bridge lyrically. They way I saw it working is that I wrote Semiprecious about spending more than what you have and Paradjsdsda (I can never remember how to spell it so I mashed the keys) was about seeing the face of the victim through a captor in verse 1 and seeing the face of a captor through the victim in verse 2. I figured this song should be the demise of the captor in parakjladfjlh. The way I saw it was they guy has just got caught by the fuzz and is being taken away.

I am an outcast
I am a fraud
I spent more money
than I could ever afford
I am the reason
I am the truth
those painful memories
stuck inside of you

so I say

drag me around
then place down

I have no regrets
and will never resign
my only wish is that
I see you one last time
I feel your anguish
and I felt your pain
and now your anger
is all that remains

so I say

drag me around
then place down

My only real problem with this rather Rag 'n' Bone Man-esque track is the 4-chord chord progression is just not interesting enough to support the song. IMO obviously. However it's quite the big problem. For me...

I read your liner notes to get the explanation of how this song addresses the challenge, and I accept your explanation, but I'm going to level with you - I never would have figured that out without the explanation. The arrangement and performance work as well as they can here, but I'd like to hear some more darkness in the mix - plate reverbs with low reflections, some delays with high feedback levels, a little distortion here and there... As a matter of fact, listen to Third Cat's entry right after yours, and hear how they used delay and reverb to "smear" and "darken" parts of the mix. They made it moody and atmospheric in a way that I think would have benefitted this immensely.
