That Cyberpunk Song What We Done (Patreon)

If you would like the audio of the song we put together for A Song of Cyberpunk, here you go! Thank you so much to everyone who shared the video and wrote nice things about it. And of course to the lovely patrons who not only give us the time and resources to do this kind of nonsense, but have kept us doing business as usual during a scary, scary year. 

I had the idea to do a song on Friday night. I make up stupid songs all the time, usually just blurting guff out of my mouth and making it rhyme. I like to try coming up with pointless little songs in real-time to see what I can come up with, as you may note me attempt with random success on podcasts. Sometimes I play around with it more, and come up with something that works quite pleasantly, even if the content is utterly stupid. 

Because I am idle minded, I rarely ever write the shit down, and I sure as hell don't record it. I don't particularly rate my singing voice, and while I can sometimes come up with a bit of a melody while singing, I have no real musical ability.  I've been writing some of them down recently, and also playing around with improvising songs while listening to some tunes in my stock library. I was doing stuff like that on Friday, and had the sudden urge start doing something about Cyberpunk, and feverishly wrote something down and tried to fit it into the tune I was listening to, which is actually really enjoyable as a writing exercise. I didn't really appreciate until we put it together how fucking catchy the thing was.

Didn't really have a lot of time to work on it since, like all my decent ideas, I had it really bloody late in the week. I didn't trust myself to be able to put the song together in parts, so I sung the song in one go, albeit after a lot of *shit* takes. Justin did a great job with filters and stuff to make it sound as well sewn together as possible. I think for two people with little time and no audio ability, we did pretty damn well. 

I probably won't make this a regular thing on The Jimquisition, but I'm glad to know it's doable. Justin has bothered me about doing a musical episode since we first started working together, and I've always resisted. And as of right now, I still am hesitant for such a thing, because it'd have to be really, really damn good in order to work. I might have a go at writing more songs though, or at least do some silly poem shit. I think with more time, I could do some neat things. 

Anyways, a song for you!
