Tablemonkey and all his obsessions

miescha:

So, here it is, finally! The song I’ve been tirelessly working on since Monday! Ok, so, it’s been done for a few days, but still. This is called “Month of June,” and it was written to accompany Annie Christ’s story Fire Crotch and the Friend Zone Virgins. The lyrics are actually not mine. Annie herself wrote them, and they’re wonderful. I just took the lyrics and put them to some music. No big deal. I had so much fun working on this, and I’m so grateful that Annie Christ even let me do this fan-music for her!

So, just a quick thing, I just want to say that her story is wonderful and holds a special place in my heart. It has made me cry countless times—each and every time I read it—and it’s an absolutely heart-wrenching and beautiful work. I recommend for everyone, not only Kingdom Hearts fans, to go read it. You won’t regret it. I don’t.

Also, a HUGE thank you to Franki, who drew the beautiful album art you see up there. I had no idea it was for me until Annie told me and oh God. You’re wonderful. It’s beautiful and you’re so talented. You’re both so talented. 

Lyrics are as follows:

Chorus:
I’ve got the month of June on my side
Burning on through the cocaine and whiskey high
Pine box mama don’t let the ground get you down
We’ll move along, move along 

Verse 1:
Cradled on the treetops, there’s shelter where my baby resides
Eight months of cobalt blue, this is my reason to stay alive
You’re not locked away
This vault is not your home
She’s gonna know your name before she knows my own

Chorus

Verse 2:
 I never put a fucking ring on your finger
But there’s something priceless here that we have to remember
Pushing lungs and a lack of syringes
Sleepless nights and those beer-hunting pledges
You’re my Jack Daniel’s romance
And what we had is forever

Chorus

So yeah… excuse me as I go cry. This song and the story it comes from gives me so many feels it’s ridiculous. But before I go, the technical stuff as usual. Mac Mini, Protools, M-Audio 2-channel interface, MXL 990, SM 57. NO AUTOTUNE. Ever. As for instruments, I have 2 vocal tracks, 3 cello tracks, an acoustic guitar track, a cajon drum and rainstick track for percussion.

And with that, enjoy.
