Since I am still bad at organizing things, instead of an interview this week, I decided to show you, loyal listener, some songs that have yet to be released by me. All of these were written as far back as 2017 and I had made demos for a class. Some have been updated or refreshed but they are still essentially demos - proofs of concept rather than full tracks.\n\n00:18 - \u201cWe Are One\u201d - This was my strange attempt at making a \u201cworld peace\u201d, hippie style song. I think if I were to do a full production of this, I would need \u201cWe Are the World\u201d levels of involvement. I tried using science as motivation for unity. This is a song that is not likely to be released on a full album any time soon because I don\u2019t feel like it fits for me as an artist, nor do I think it fits with any album concepts I have percolating in my mind at the moment. I\u2019m somewhat embarrassed of the song, I think, but it is what it is, so here you go.\n\n04:16 - \u201cTrauma (Live)\u201d - Ok, so not exactly unreleased, since I\u2019ve already played it on the podcast, but still has yet to get a proper release. This was played for an Electric Pizza concert and it features Breck McGough on backup vocals, J.R. Edwards on Cello, and Trevor Lindley on drums. I wrote this song from the point of view of a soldier with PTSD and how this person would cope with the things they had to do in the military. This will definitely make its way onto a future album.\n\n07:52 - \u201cThe Vicious Cycle\u201d - This one is from the point of view of a drug addict who has gotten to the point where he no longer wants to harm his family with his addiction, but he still has a long way to go to make up for his mistakes. For whatever reason, I felt the song\u2019s character had an accent. I think it has more to go with the production, but I think the demo shows what the song is capable of, and it\u2019s one of my favorite songs that I\u2019ve written.\n\n12:16 - \u201cStar Destroyer\u201d - Sometimes, I give myself tasks or inspirations for future songs, like \u201cWrite a song with a mantra\u201d or \u201cMake a track with no sustain\u201d. For this one, the inspiration was \u201cMake a song like an anime opening\u201d. There\u2019s a story in this song, which is like an anime in itself, and it\u2019s sci-fi inspired and pretty cheesy. It was a lot of fun to sing in this style. I know this will make it onto a future album.\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/santiagoramones/support
