Life of a Robot

Another song!
I believe this is my tenth song. This one's actually in 6/8 time, and has a little square riff. I might add a bit of a bitcrusher effect to the vocals, get a bit of a robot voice - it's called "Life of a ROBOT," so...

I'm a human robot these days
Every day is the same
Nothing's now and nothing's changed, 
I do the same thing every day

Think there's something out there for me
But no one lets me see
My time is wasting, bit by bit
There's nothing I can do about it

Living life________
With no purpose
Did not die________
But still totally lifeless

(quieter)
I know I can be someone great
But no one lets me prove it
Just bore myself to death each day
In a world that's too small to fit

(gradually get louder)
Find my life_______
Some new purpose
I won't die_______
Thinking there's something I had missed

I'm a human robot today
Every day is the same
But that won't be for long, I say
Forget the map, find my own way

Know there's something out there for me
That no one let me me see
Not just going to idly sit
I'm on a quest to go and find it...

There you have it. How is it?

Clueless

I had originally posted this sans intro-to-what-this-song-is-about, thus proving that I really AM clueless.
I often feel like I'm always one step behind, at least when everything is fast-paced. Like 3-on-3 basketball in P.E. I can barely remember whose team I'm on. (Which is why I blog, not play sports)

(Verse 1)
I don't know where I am going
I don't know what is happening
I don't know what I am to do
And once I know, they change the rules

(Verse 2)
I'm a bird in the winter that can't find south
Can't find somebody to show me how
The world is going to fast to see
Once I figure it out, it's too late for me

(Verse 3)
What just occured?
Didn't catch the words
World's far too fast
So I'm left in last

(Verse 1)

(Solo??)

(Verse 4)
I don't know___
I don't know what's going on
I don't know___
Once I get dusk I am at dawn

(Verse 4 with Verse 1 in background)

There you have it.

Dr. Epic and His Insurance Policy

How much would superheroes pay for insurance, with all the crashing cars, breaking buildings, and falling from the sky after launching a giant asteroid into space?
Random question.
There are some preliminary sketches of Dr. Epic on the top, and the actual cartoon on the bottom.

Dr. Epic's Car

Dr. Epic's wheels.

Introducing Dr. Epic

Dr. Epic is a superhero that I came up with today. I really liked doing this superhero cartoon that I made last month, so I gave him a name.
His debut...(drum roll...)

DUDE-le

I participated in MathCounts 2011, being the nerd I am. They had paper sheets over the tables because the tables we were using were too bumpy.
Pencil + Paper = I drew this guy. I ripped out a piece of the paper for my own use.

Downpour

http://soundcloud.com/kidinthestudio/downpour
This is a classic kidinthestudio piece (my school music teacher is particular about the word "song" on a thing with no lyrics). It's got a rolling piano riff, a string background, and a truckload of synths and effects.
Hope you like it!

Executive Class


This is an idea for a shirt. Now the design, the tie and such, is actually printed on a regular black shirt. Near where the breast pocket for a dress shirt would be, it would say "Executive Class" in fancy font. What do you think?

Wannabe

Another song! This is about a kid who wants to famous...like the rest of us. It's got a nice piano riff (no duh)...and...well...here it is.


I want it all, I want the best, I want to be a music star
I want my life to hit its crest, I am so sure it can't be far
I've got to run, it's time to go, I've got to fight against the clock
I hear the constant metronome, tick, tock, tick, tock, it's time to go.

(Chorus)
Oh, I'll be rich and I'll be famous, I'll have all I could ask in life
'Cuz I am sure that I'm not the same, just all I need is one quick dive
My strife will run, my problems solved, my fame will break all of my locks
But right now that's a dream, that's all, I'm just a loser in a box

My life is dull, my life's a bore, I'm getting tired of what I see.
But yet I know there's something more, I see it all on the TV
The famous souls have all they need, and can be anyone they wish
Yes, that is what I aim to be, my old life will never be missed

(Chorus)

One more musician gone to jail, I see another fallen star
Guess fame's like walking on a rail, 'cept when you fall, the ground's so far
Don't think the money's worth the pain, I think I'm better off down here
So say goodbye to dreams of fame, I'm sure it's much safer for me

Don't need to have the cash and fame, I have all I could ask in life
Already know I'm not the same, don't need to take the extra dive
My problems will all be resolved, I don't need fame to break my locks
Fame won't be in my crystal ball, I'll enjoy life inside my box


Yup. Like it?
