Pixel Apartment - We Will Be Erased (solo bass)

Hello everyone! This is an alternate version of the song we will be erased. As an experiment, all the chords, melodies are all played on a six string bass thru a combination of fretted notes and natural harmonics. I used a classical capo to fret the bottom 5 strings to get the right harmonics for the key of the song. the challenge was to let all of the harmonics ring clearly! some notes just couldn't sound out. i kick in a rat distortion in the chorus and surprisingly it sounds quite shoegazy! hopefully i'll be able to play on stage with just the drums and bass like this! i didn't bother to show the drums because they were programmed in midi. the rest that you see on screen are played live, so there are mistakes here and there! hopefully i get better at this technique with time!

lyrics:

Where was I before
Tracks don't mean a thing
I see you coming over
Worrying about your next apartment bill

This was how it started
Tears don't have to say
Trapped in an indecision
Roped around the traffic lights

I was running to your place
In the 80s
In the 80s

If the past was any sign
I'd take your hands away
Bring you to a place
Where we will be erased

If it all could be replaced
A void is better than none
I'll bring you to a place
Where we will be erased

Pointless speculation
A grey white moral meter
Can't spend all your credits
Thinking about all the happier times

I see your little girl
Her daddy's too busy to say
I'll be home tonight
We'll take you on a ride round crismon street

And we can
Take it away
All the calculations
Deliberating

If the past was any sign
I'd take your hands away
Bring you to a place
Where we will be erased

If it all could be replaced
A void is better than none
I'll bring you to a place
Where we will be erased

Where lights will shine for us
Where birds will sing for us
Where we will sleep a night so beautiful
And the world will envy both of us
And the world will envy both of us

If the past was any sign
I'd take your hands away
Bring you to a place
Where we will be erased

If it all could be replaced
A void is better than none
I'll bring you to a place
Where we will be erased
