(i have no audio editing software and i took this recording v quickly this morning before work... there's a part where it's clearly meant to overlap and i just. can't do that with one human voice. and also fucked it a bit on the last chorus. but i can't be arsed doing it again and you get the idea :) also in an ideal world this has a chunky instrumental bassline but you'll just have to imagine that one yourself. also also i got soundcloud for this so y'all better appreciate the sacrifices i make for my art :'D )
