about

I was inspired by the DnD dice “Roll For” challenges on Tik Tok and so I made my own Roll For Song challenge.

I rolled for a chord progression of E major, F sharp, and A7, and for instrumentation of Percussion, Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, Synthesizer, Omnichord, and Bass.

For emotional tone I rolled Escapism and for lyrical subject I rolled "Defective coffee cup lids”.

I wrote the song using my daughters omnichord and a guitar, I added some ukulele, and then Mibo Mibo wrote a beautiful back up vocal section and sang it and also added cajon and shaker and bass and synth, and then Luhan Si Hadin added an additional vocal layer at the end.

This was the result.

lyrics

If I could please have just one sip of coffee
If I could please have just one sip of coffee
If I could please have just one sip of coffee
Without spilling it on my shirt

I hate my office, can’t stand the job
I hate the freeway, the morning mob
They’re driving fast to nowhere
And every day feels just the same
I need a drink to trick my brain
And keep me moving nowhere

If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip of coffee)
If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip is all I need)
If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip of coffee)
Without spilling it on my shirt (one sip of coffee)

I hate the songs on the radio
But I left my aux cord back at home
Now noise is filling up my head
I need a drink to calm me down
Cause I am far too tightly wound
I’m sliding closer to the edge

If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip of coffee)
If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip is all I need)
If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip to cure me)
Without spilling it on my shirt (one sip of coffee)

If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip of coffee)
If I could please have just one sip of coffee (one sip is all I need)
If I could please have just one sip of coffee (somethings not working)
Without spilling it on my shirt (one sip of coffee)
