One week ago today I had the good fortune to read about Chikoppi's challenge on MacJams, to use this fairly innocuous loop, I think it was Modern Rock Guitar 11, as the basis of a song. Never one to turn down a challenge, I cobbled together some loops at work on the laptop (won't my boss be proud) then went home and plugged in the trusty synths so I could add some polish and some sheen. I put a call into fellow Orbiter Ledeb and asked if she was interested in making an Orbiting song a submission for the challenge, and she was.
Generally, start to finish, it takes something like six weeks to make an Orbiting song. We are slower than Peter Gabriel. With only a week until the contest deadline, we knew it would be a miracle to get this finished on time. Somehow we pulled it off. We hope you enjoy. I hope you can hear Modern Rock Guitar 11 (it's in there on two separate tracks!) hiding somewhere under Ledeb's stellar vocal performance.
Be sure to check out the other challengers as well. Our thanks goes out to Chikoppi for creating the challenge and pulling us out of our collective creative doldrums.

Lyrics
World that Breathed
Running up a steep hill,
the dogs are chasing me.
The trees conspire with the game,
wind blows through the leaves,
they rustle your name.
There's no escape for me.
No matter what I do
my love lingers on and on
nowhere I can run.
My heart is chasing you.
Woke up alone in our empty bed,
only problem is, it's all in my head.
We never had a real place or a time,
nothing that was really ours,
just a world that breathed in my mind.
No matter what I do
my love lingers on and on
nowhere I can run.
My heart is chasing you.
Run away, run away.
No matter what I do
my love lingers on and on
nowhere I can run.
My heart is chasing you.
Run away, run away, run away.
Nowhere I can run.
Running up a steep hill,
the dogs are chasing me.
The trees conspire with the game,
wind blows through the leaves,
they rustle your name.
There's no escape for me.
No matter what I do
my love lingers on and on
nowhere I can run.
My heart is chasing you.
Woke up alone in our empty bed,
only problem is, it's all in my head.
We never had a real place or a time,
nothing that was really ours,
just a world that breathed in my mind.
No matter what I do
my love lingers on and on
nowhere I can run.
My heart is chasing you.
Run away, run away.
No matter what I do
my love lingers on and on
nowhere I can run.
My heart is chasing you.
Run away, run away, run away.
Nowhere I can run.

This is much more than just a (mainstream) pop song, but hey... genres on MJ... A nicely pulsing beat, richly fed by rhythmic synth loops. It builds up in a linear way towards the end, smartly interrupted by two little breaks. That's craftsmanship. Lisa's vocalising fits this song very well. It's rich and - as always - neatly performed. Pretty one. - Walter
