Happy 2020! It's been quite a while since my last upload... 2019 was a very busy and stressful year. This song was originally meant to be a fun original pop song for my birthday last year. I even got some shiny new instruments for the occasion! Unfortunately, real life got in the way and I couldn't finish it in time. Then as the months went on, it slowly morphed into this 7-minute prog track, with the lyrics essentially reflecting my feelings on the year. I was firmly in the loop of "oh, I can add more things/make this part better/etc" and eventually decided I had to stop, so here it is. That said, I'm very proud of the result.
There will be more music this year, including (hopefully) an original EP and more video game covers!

LYRICS
Born to this world
They pulled you out, and you emerged a fighter
Eat, breathe, and sleep
You'll learn no other way until you're older
Cry, and stare into your mother's eyes
Father is proud
To photograph this moment for all time
You're afraid, but you will fly
Hmmm, hmmm
Day after day
The road you walk is paved with good intentions
Keep in good health
And strive to take concern for all your brethren
Drive the demons from inside your mind
Build a career
And settle down into the family life
In this overwhelming time
Closed in your head
Experience and time will stand contested
Brave the unknown
And shout into the void and wait for answers
Why expect you to just understand?
Soon you will be
Indebted to the guidance by our hand
And live it up to die a man
Live aloof, the age of youth
Chase the truth as the days pass by
Fill the room with squares and cubes
To build and bloom
Over twenty-seven years, oh
Twenty-seven years, oh
Try to follow in our guiding light
Beaten and dazed
Embrace the sweetest dreams of times gone by
You were chained, but now you fly
===============
Squares//Cubes is (mostly) a videosong, which means everything you see/hear was recorded live (except the drums) and no sounds are hidden.
Written, arranged, recorded, and produced by Andrew Goldin
