The Next Future
---------------

I made this song originally for SunDew Ordinary Compo but as the compo
was cancelled, it was left lingering around meaningless. Then suddenly,
for some strange reason I picked it up and decided to make a new version
of it. Those two are like night and day, sound-wise at least. I'm very
pleased how I managed to make this one sound even cheesier than the
first... :]  However, I've also thought here a good arrangement is
wasted in the overall mediocrity of the piece - but then again, what
would you expect from a former prospective Ordinary Compo entry? The
latest turn in the track's life was an unexpected summoning to represent
me in the second Outpost Compo, after all the big ones had to step aside
to be saved for the big arenas.

OLD COMMENTS

Do you think this sounds like something else I (or someone else) has done
some time? If you do, you're not too far off. This is one of my entries
for SunDew Ordinary Compo. In this compo the goal is to make as
conventional and stereotypical music as possible. I guess that's something
I'm pretty good at... ;-}~ I also tried to use as ordinary samples as
possible.

From my experiences I can recommend trying something like this to anyone.
It's really refreshing not to have to do it perfectly for a change and to
notice how difficult it indeed is to make a song with mere cliches.

A1:

   One day you said you'd be mine
   But the next day saw you pass me by
   How come I don't know why?

   All you said was just a lie
   Now that you're gone
   I'm on my own

B1:

   Why do I feel so strange
   I just can't say
   Why did you go away
   You left me all alone and crying in vain

   I know
   You felt the way I'll always do
   But it's in the past now
   Until the next future

A2:

   How could I be such a fool?
   I wish I could drown into a pool
   This song tells how you did me wrong

   I don't know how I lost your love
   Now I'm so sad
   Won't you tell me was I so bad?

B1

B2:

   Everything is so wrong
   Without your love I'll ever be
   Living in the past
   Until the next future
