[Em] [Gbm] Basically, what I'm going for here is an [D] Eminem or an NF type of vibe, because they're
the first rappers that [Bm] came to mind when I thought of doing [Gbm] this.
I think the main [G] difference between an [Gbm] introspective type track and an emo type track is just how
in-depth you go with exploring your own emotional and mental state.
[Bm] With an emo [Gbm] track, it's usually pretty [D] surface level stuff, just expressing whatever [G] emotions
and thoughts you happen to [Gbm] have.
Whereas with an [Bm] introspective type track, you're going to dig a little bit deeper,
and explore the reasons behind why [A] you feel the way you feel.
Let's get into [Bm] the cook-up.
[Gb] I opened up this patch in [D] keyscape, and I'm going to make a dark sounding melody, trying
to create some sort of [Gm] spooky horror movie type of [D] vibe.
Here's what I came up with.
[Bb]
[A] [Dm] [Bb] [E]
[C] [Dm] [Cm] I pulled up another patch in keyscape to layer the melody, [Gm] and I EQ'd out some lows and highs.
Here's what the melody [Dm] sounds like now.
[Bb] [A]
[Dm] [Bb] [Am]
[Dm] I made this flute melody.
[Bb] [F] [C] [Am] I'm [G] [F] [Cm] [Eb] [A] [G]
using this free plugin to make a counter melody pluck.
[N] I made this hat pattern.
I laid down some drums.
I made this 808 pattern.
Here's what the drums sound like all together.
[D] Alright, now it's time to write some lyrics.
Basically, I'm just going to write about whatever is on my mind, and try [A] not to censor
myself or put any sort of spin on anything.
The best thing to do here is just to be raw and honest.
[Gbm] There's always pressure from your ego that tries to spin things so you are perceived
in a more favorable light, but that tendency toward [A] bias actively detracts from what we're
trying to do here.
With all of that out of the way, let's see what we've come up with.
