Entry from Drag Me Around in Nur Ein XVI.

Song must bridge your Round 0 and Round 1 songs

LyricsShow lyrics

Spoilerthe intro includes an echoing "kind of love" from the end of my round 0 song which morphs to better match "drag me around" ...the outro ends on the E-Em chord progression that starts my round 2 song (and includes the same field recording/vocal samples ... the vocal samples are mangled recordings of the word 'pareidolia' - these intros/outros connecting to the round 0 and round 2 songs are my attempt at completing the challenge. hopefully it's what you guys are looking for! - a little bonus link is I am thinking of my lyrics as a response to the "semiprecious" lyrics. ... one extra thing - there's a burbly synth thing from "pareidolia" that's heard on the intro (for just a bit) and again on the outro

"Drag Me Around" - Third Cat

drag me around
pull me through the wire
pushing your sound
until my ear is on fire
tired of your games
subtle differences
cut through your knife with my brain
i know you're not really insane
you just ...

drag me around
pull me through the wire
pushing your sound
until my ear is on fire
tired of your games
sudden sequences
cut through my life with your pain
i know you're not really insane
you just ...

drag me around

I think it should be 10-20 bpm faster. It drags after the initial atmosphere. This would sound good with a faster, Depeche Mode-ish arrangement. At least it doesn't hang around too much, but for once I will add it could do and maybe should.

To be honest, I was surprised to see this one shake out at the very bottom of the list. But then I realized, though I didn't remember it being that bad, I was struggling to remember it at all. I'm listening again and trying to figure why that is. The chorus is hooky enough, but I think the verse melody isn't as strong as it could be. Sounds like your voice is mostly hanging around a fixed point waiting to get to the "Drag Me Around" part. And then there's a transition to another part of the song (or rather, a transition to your "Pareidolia"), a fade that's a little too abrupt
