Perfect Circle

"I get the lyrics of a tune and interpret them my way."
-Kylie Minogue

Upon finding the 'Rocket' instrumental by Kevin MacLeod, I took it upon myself to write the lyrics and melody for our song over the instrumental.

The instrumental, 'Rocket':


As Kevin himself wouldn't be the singer, Lana and I had to invent an artist name that would fit into our desired genre. Since electro-pop is frequently played in clubs equipped with dramatic lighting equipment such as lasers and strobe lights, we decided on Ultra Violet as the 'artist's' name.

In recent electro-pop history, shapes have played a major role in presenting an edgy and interesting form of imagery, so I felt it was a good idea to name the song after a shape-'Perfect Circle'. An example of an electro-pop artist, Little Boots, using shapes as part of her image:


Here is the finished copy of our song, 'Perfect Circle':


The lyrics for the song:

'Perfect Circle'
Music: Kevin MacLeod 'Rocket'
Lyrics/Melody: Ezra Veng
Vocals: Lana Moses

Last time we were here, you were forgiving
Last time we were here, you could see ahead
Last time we were here, it weren't so hard for you
To feel the same, but you don't, so

Where did it all go wrong
When did you say goodbye
Where did it all go wrong
Why did you make me cry
Where did your feelings go
No one else could touch us
Why don't your feelings show
I loved you so much

Now you're never gonna hold my hand
Now you're never gonna be my man
Now you're never gonna love me back
The thought of you makes my heart attack

As the beats of my heart fade out to grey
You said you'd never stop feeling that way
Like a perfect circle, you'll come around
Now dig up my heart, right from the ground

Where did it all go wrong
When did you say goodbye
Where did it all go wrong
Why did you make me cry
Where did your feelings go
No one else could touch us
Why don't your feelings show
I loved you so much

Now you're never gonna hold my hand
Now you're never gonna be my man
Now you're never gonna love me back
The thought of you makes my heart attack

Like a perfect circle
(oh oh oh)
Like a perfect circle
(oh oh)
Like a perfect circle
(oh oh, owow)
Like a perfect circle
You'll come around
