Stone (TenseTrombone Version)
Crisp high fidelity studio production, Crisp vocals, and crisp high fidelity instrumentation, A post-punk revival, experimental indietronica track featuring punchy, angular guitars alongside skittering synth textures. Kazoo hooks interject, adding quirky contrast to soaring, reverb-laden saxophone riffs. The rhythm section constantly shifts—syncopated basslines and driving, evolving percussion fuel the song’s momentum, while melancholic, dynamic male vocals cut through with bittersweet, ironic clarity.

Lyrics
Oh, my love
My friend you know
It's been a while
Without thinking of you
But the thought makes me (smile)
Yeah, perhaps I long for the paradise,
That was so present in your eyes,
I recall it was a sliver of nice, in my otherwise,
Painful life of stone hard lies, and-
I'm so tired of wanting
(wanting more than this!)
I know it but what am i to do
I need some space to breathe,
So give me some room
Give me some time,
O lost lenore of mine,
I think I might be, oh will be,
Ready soon!
Oh, my love
You have a heart of stone
Cause since i've come home, now
I've never felt so alone, now
But the thought makes me smile
Oh, my love
You have the heart of a machine,
Pumping toxic oil in my dreams, (alright)
Alright, there might be some hyperbole,
Of the catastrophe, that was you and me,
But why am I missing,
The fights more than the kissing,
How you couldn't listen,
To the problems I'd list, and-
But the thought makes me smile.
I'm so tired of wanting
Wanting more than this
I know you'll leave me one day
Can you just stay till Monday
The thought makes me smile
So give me some room
Give me some time,
O lost lenore of mine,
I think I might be, oh will be,
Ready soon!
I'm so tired of wanting
Wanting more than this
I know you'll leave me one day
Can you just stay till Monday
The thought makes me smile
Can I see the light behind your eyes
The thought makes me smile
Lost in thought, dunno why
The thought makes me smile
Just another mountain I can climb
Yeah the thought makes me smile
So good
Smile
Smile
Smile
Smile

I thought I'd enter the new remix contest thingy, but I think it became its own thing at some point down the line, and I'm vibing with it pretty hard right now, so I hope you all enjoy it!
Added some of my own lyrics to this one, to give it a bit more of a tongue-in-cheek vibe. The rest is by ImOliver.
Oh, and I was gonna edit the video cover to give it more of a stop motion jank, but I ended up loving the default animation on it after watching it on loop a few times. Let me know what you think!
