(holy shit, you're right! i'm crashing! i'm driving, ahhh!) // chorus do you spend all your time worrying friends online? now i can't sleep at night, i guess i'm just the same (and it's not okay) do you still hide in your shell when you say you're doing well? and you say you don't need help, everything's okay but maybe it's time to change (but maybe you'll never change) // bridge you're destroying yourself it's not good for your health you need help you need help you need help // 2. you need help 1:57-3:43 and oh, you're off the wall you'll take me with you if you fall and i don't wanna say so long but i felt so ashamed when in the end, you're to blame oh, i'll move on, and you'll stay the same you'll stay the same you'll stay the same you'll stay the same (and now, i broke up with- or ellie broke up with me, and i've been hella crying and sad here. like, ah fuck, god dammit! single again! so, then i was like, fuck this breakup, i'm dyeing my hair blue. and then i got blue hair! which is hella cool. i looked like this around then-) // 3. i move on, you stay the same 3:43-5:48 the battle's over but did you really win? i won't turn to stone pushing your boulder up federal hill i move on, and you stay the same (you'll turn to stone, you'll chip away) i move on, and you stay the same your head in my lap only a half of it left i'll never find it again but someone else will take your place i move on, and you stay the same (i'll go back the way i came) i move on, and you stay the same (i'll go back just the way i came) i move on, and you stay the same i move on, and you stay the same

about

hi! 'idaidaida II' is coming soon! to celebrate, i'm releasing 'the CONE ZONE!' and 'changes' as a single for Bandcamp Friday :3

don't forget to follow CUTE CERVID for all the latest updates surrounding 'idaidaida II' :)

cutecervid.bandcamp.com

the album itself will be continuous, so this single release includes single edits of these tracks that will not appear on the album!

'the CONE ZONE!' is, to this date, the only song i completely produced while in the United States. it's a song about the roadworks we encountered while driving through South Dakota; but ofcourse, this is an ida deerz track, even with a topic that mundane it ended up being one of the craziest tracks i've ever written. if anything, i think it reflects how mind-numbingly boring South Dakota was to the point where we kept chanting "the cone zone!" over and over again just to keep ourselves entertained.

this release also includes an extended version of 'the CONE ZONE!' — this was intended to be the final version, but fable said it sounded like 'i need help immediately' too much so i scrapped it.

'changes' is my attempt at emulating the songwriting of classic Yes, and mixing it with my own style of hyperpop production. the full version on the album will include a prelude, totaling at about 8:30 in length, but the single edit only contains the three main movements of the track, that being 'changes', 'you need help', and 'i move on, you stay the same'. it's one of the most emotional and personal tracks i've ever written, containing countless samples and references to my previous relationship. it's been in the works for months now, and i'm very excited to be able to share a part of it with you!
