Sailing Through the Skies

Thought I'd try out a different vocal style this time, which I've never even tried before.

So I decided to do some "whisper rapping" and applied the "Telephone" effect to it. This is the most unique way of singing that I've ever tried out so far.

I also tried to add in some echo and reverb to the drums, which is a vital ingredient of synthwave. The arpeggio that I came up with alternates between two instruments, its arp melody is the same for each instrument.

Verse 1

Even though I've never done this before now's my chance
The atmosphere feels perfect for the lightness of my body
Starting out on muddy ground but then I conquer some new heights
You're the only person that I know that could be a friend of mine

When we met for our first time, which was like five years ago
You and I danced cheerfully, but now we might do it again
It was very fun and you really made my life change
You're the most interesting friend that I've seen

Chorus

I'm sailing through the skies
I'm slicing through the clouds
My only wish is that I could fly

I need the wings to fly
I'm flying in my dreams
I sing this song as I sail through the skies

Verse 2

Now I'm landing on dry ground that is cleaner than you think
The atmosphere is full of clouds that clean up the dirty ground
Tell me when you're dirty because I'll be there to scrub you clean
It's a trip to heaven that makes me feel like an angel

Here in the road, painted black, there's a special winding curve
Back and forth, here and there, in and out, this and that
High score: 42, runner-up of everything
It's a special song that defines my life

Chorus

I'm sailing through the skies
I'm slicing through the clouds
My only wish is that I could fly

I need the wings to fly
I'm flying in my dreams
I sing this song as I sail through the skies

Bridge

Pure white angel, I'm a pure white angel that can sail through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
Pure white angel, I'm a pure white angel that can sail through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies

Pure white angel
Sailing through the skies
Pure white angel
Sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies

Chorus

I'm sailing through the skies
I'm slicing through the clouds
My only wish is that I could fly

I need the wings to fly
I'm flying in my dreams
I sing this song as I sail through the skies

I'm sailing through the skies
I'm slicing through the clouds
My only wish is that I could fly

I need the wings to fly
I'm flying in my dreams
I sing this song as I sail through the skies

Bridge

Pure white angel
Sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies

Pure white angel
Sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
I'm sailing through the skies
