A Synthwave Song & a Poll // Complicated World (Part Two)

Update: Thanks so much for the clear feedback everyone. I never regret asking you guys for advice. Here's the final version that combines the most voted for elements of both images. See you in the fifth dimension...

Original post: Don't worry, we're not turning into a retro music channel, but sometimes things are ready when they're ready and a new song might come right after a music video. My synthwave/retrowave tunes are just like buses; you wait 2 years for new music then 3 come along at once! Okay not quite like buses.

Below is your exclusive hi-def early access to the new track Complicated World (Part Two) along with an exclusive extended version just for you. As always please don't share publicly; this is just for special people. An 80s flavoured music video will probably follow, in the future, or in the fifth dimension...

As for the poll, we'd love to know which single cover art you prefer for when the song hits streaming. (Hint: The final verse should make sense of the cover). The track is also not final yet so as always I welcome constructive critique on any element.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the track! βœŒοΈπŸ’Ώ

Lyrics

THERE'S MANY TIMES 

WHEN I THINK OF YOU

AND ALL THOSE THINGS 

THAT YOU USED TO DO

BUT THE HARDER I THINK 

THE MORE IT SEEMS TO BE

THAT ONLY YOU

WERE MEANT FOR ME


CHORUS:

YOU LIVE 

IN A COMPLICATED WORLD 

BUT IT’S SIMPLE

I’M YOUR GIRL

WHEN YOU’RE READY 

I’LL BE WAITING THERE FOR YOU

AND WE CAN START 

PART TWO

ONE OF THESE DAYS 

YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME

BRING BACK YOUR SENSE 

AND YOUR SENSIBILITY

LOOK AT THE SKY

IT'S CAVING IN

I JUST DON'T KNOW 

WHERE TO BEGIN

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THERE EXISTS 

A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU

SHUT AWAY IN A LOCKET 

MADE FOR TWO

AND EVERY TIME 

I LOOK INTO THAT SMILE

I HAVE TO STOP LOOKING 

FOR A WHILE

IT'S JUST A TWO

DIMENSIONAL THING

LYING NEXT TO A THREE

DIMENSIONAL RING

NOW LOST IN FOUR

DIMENSIONAL TIME

MAYBE IN THE FIFTH

YOU ARE MINE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Yeah I like the pose better, but the faces from the stereotype one. Thanks for the feedback.

Option 1 for sure. Equal footing rather than stereotype stance.
