Great News, We All Die

HuntedGatherer
HuntedGatherer
Indie-pop / alternative dance, 124 BPM, A major with bittersweet minor-key undertones, Mid-tempo, groove-led production with warm rounded synth bass, understated funky bass guitar, tight dry electronic drums, restrained handclaps, muted electric guitar, mellow analog synths and subtle shimmering textures, Catchy, melodic and rhythmically engaging, but emotionally detached and slightly world-weary rather than bubbly or exuberant, Wry, conversational vocal delivery with natural phrasing, understated harmonies and a memorable melodic chorus that feels bittersweet, not triumphant, Sophisticated alternative-pop sensibility, restrained disco influence, a hint of melancholy beneath an accessible dance groove, Avoid sugary pop melodies, cartoonish cheerfulness, excessive vocal layering, hyperactive percussion and overly euphoric drops, Gradual instrumental build, brief sparse bridge, controlled final chorus with added depth rather than sheer volume, Clean, polished studio production

[Intro] [Key: A Major | BPM: 124] [Bright Synths, Bouncy Bass, Handclaps] [Verse 1] [Springy Bass Guitar, Bright Funk Guitar, Crisp Dance Beat] The sun's gonna eat the planet In a billion years or so And every person who has ever lived Will be a memory nobody knows The pyramids will turn to powder Every flag will fade to rust Every masterpiece and monument Will eventually be dust But the rent is due on Friday And the laundry's getting tall So I'll turn the TV on and Try not to think at all [Pre-Chorus] [Shimmering Synths, Rising Percussion, Sweet Vocal Harmonies] Isn't it exciting? We're a miracle of chance Little bags of stardust and water Doing our best to pay in advance [Chorus] [Huge Bright Synth Hook, Euphoric Dance Drums, Infectious Layered Vocals] Great news, we're all gonna die! Isn't it lovely to be alive? Nothing lasts and nothing stays Let's have a wonderful today! Oh, what a beautiful, temporary place With an expiration date Give me a smile, give me a wave We're all just killing time until the grave! La-la-la, the stars burn out La-la-la, we'll all fall down What a wonderful world we've made Let's have a wonderful today! [Post-Chorus] [Playful Vocal Chops, Bouncy Bass, Bright Synth Melody] Doo-doo-doo, we're running out of time Doo-doo-doo, but everything's fine Doo-doo-doo, there's nothing we can do Except enjoy the view! [Verse 2] [Groovy Bass, Clipped Guitar, Tambourine, Playful Synth Stabs] Your memories are faulty hardware Your personality's a trick Your brain invents a little person Then convinces you it's you You can't remember being a baby You won't remember being dead And there's a universe of nothing On both sides of your brief little thread Every second that you're spending Is a second that is gone You can never get it back now Congratulations, carry on! [Pre-Chorus] [Bright Rising Synths, Handclaps, Increasing Vocal Harmony] Isn't it amazing? We're self-aware enough to know That we're tiny dots of nothing On a rock that's set to go [Chorus] [Full Upbeat Production, Punchy Drums, Bright Layered Vocals] Great news, we're all gonna die! Isn't it lovely to be alive? Nothing lasts and nothing stays Let's have a wonderful today! Oh, what a beautiful, temporary place With an expiration date Give me a smile, give me a wave We're all just killing time until the grave! La-la-la, the stars burn out La-la-la, we'll all fall down What a wonderful world we've made Let's have a wonderful today! [Bridge] [Sudden Drop to Ukulele-Like Muted Guitar, Finger Snaps, Cheerful Solo Vocal] And if there's nothing after this Then isn't that a shame? All those people that you loved Will never hear you say it again And if there's something after this Well, isn't that a fright? An eternity of anything Is longer than your life [Spoken, Bright and Pleasant] Anyway, your order's ready. Have a nice day! [Instrumental Build] [Playful Synth Arpeggios, Four-on-the-Floor Kick Returns, Handclaps Intensify] [Sweet Wordless Vocal Harmonies] Oh, oh-oh! Oh, oh-oh! Oh, oh-oh! We're all doing so good! [Final Chorus] [Maximum Brightness, Huge Euphoric Synths, Gang Vocals, Infectious Melody] Great news, we're all gonna die! Isn't it lovely to be alive? Nothing lasts and nothing stays Let's have a wonderful today! Oh, what a beautiful, temporary place With an expiration date Kiss the ones you love today Their cells are slowly rotting away! La-la-la, the stars burn out La-la-la, there's no way out What a wonderful world we've made Let's have a wonderful today! [Outro] [Beat Continues Cheerfully, Instruments Drop Away One by One] Good morning! You're doing amazing. Time is running out. Have a nice day! [Final Bright Synth Chord]
