where the streets have no name

last week
it was a hard one (understatement)
and i flew back as fast as they let me
and i feel bad that’s
all that i can do
but at least i made it

i can live on no-name streets
or live in cardboard houses
cause what i wanna do is have
a home, with you
on a mountain
or deep under water
cause what i wanna do is have
a home, with you

last month
has been a long one (understatement)
cause i hate boxes full of stuff
cause i know in six weeks they'll be
still full on the floor
i know in six weeks things will be better

i could live on no-name streets
or live in cardboard houses
cause what i wanna do is have
a home, with you
on a mountain
or deep under water
cause what i wanna do is have
a home, with you

last year
has been a weird one (understatement)
so much has changed, and for the better
but i've a lot to get over
and get through
but now i get to move in with you

i can live on no-name streets
or live in cardboard houses
cause what i wanna do is have
a home, with you
on a mountain
or deep under water
cause what i wanna do is have
a home, with you

Glad you made it! Though you too were infected with chiptunitis. Your use of the chippy synths is mostly good, but it's a bit much at times. Great melodies! The “understatement” insertion is kinda genius. Such a hook! Great addition to your album, not sure if it’s a single, but solid!

pleased to see that you managed to get a submission in! Even if it makes the competition harder for everyone else, haha. This is really strong stuff again, I like the lyrics a lot and the clever way you've expanded the window of time with each verse. Chiptunes and guitars blend beautifully and the chorus is very catchy.

I like the chiptunes in this. Unfortunately your story didn’t really pull me in at all, so it felt like the verses were there just to break up the choruses. The chorus wasn’t bad, and was kinda catchy. I’m not as confident with you moving on this round as I have been in the past rounds.
