June Moon (Virgo Power) (shadow)

wish I could feel like I knew what was wrong
wish I could sleep through the night til the dawn
wish I could feel like I knew what was wrong
wish I could sleep through the night til the dawn

chorus:
forget it, Jake, it's Cheridah
sometimes nonsense means everything
and sometimes everything means nothing at all

wish that I knew how to act around you
I could learn to be free for a while
wish that I knew how to act around you
I could learn to be free for a while

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
*some of the saddest songs sound like jokes
some of the best people struggle to exist
I've got it easy, I don't need to be told
but why does everything feel so hard*

CHORUS

outro:
*every time I want to give up
it takes so long to remember how to try
every time I want to give up
it takes so long to remember how to try
every time I want to give up
it takes so long to remember how to try
every time I want to give up
it takes so long to remember how to try*

Spoiler"Cheridah" is the name of this fricken wallpaper sample i have up in my bathroom. I saw it and somehow it inspired me on the chorus. i know it's random. ha. also as I listened to the other entries I realized I totally forgot to make the song be about June OR the moon in any way, shape or form! 😂 😂 😂

fixed version is much improved but the verse and chorus still feel a little divorced from each other. Good vocal performance, the doubling / harmonies are effective but in such a stripped down mix it does stand out when the timing isn't quite perfect.

I like your vocals on this, I think it's a good range for you, they sound nice and strong and clear. Not everything lines up, which you know already (I'll have to go back and listen to the fixed version). OK, listening to the fixed version: the transitions into/out of the choruses are still very awkward and there are still some weird spots as far as timing--I think you could work more on those transitions or even break this up into two different songs. I like that this is about your wallpaper (I assumed "Jake" and "Cheridah" were some kind of fanfic reference till I looked at your liner notes), you should post a picture of it! "Some of the saddest songs sound like jokes" is a cool line. The lyrics seem to bounce around between different things they're focusing on--personal mental health, difficulties in a relationship, hiding your struggles--and maybe narrowing the focus could help it feel more cohesive.

This feels like a very disjointed song, though the fixed version does improve this somewhat. The "saddest songs..." section is definitely the strongest. I feel like you could use that part as the starting point to expand for a rewrite.
