about
I made this in the style of late 1980s rock to see if it was possible to use Korg's new opsix and wavestate mini-synths to complete an entire song. Both synths are reimaginings of things released in the 1980s.
Proceeds from the sale of this song will be donated to Minus18, a charity for LGBTQIA+ youth.

lyrics
So you think there's nothing more to say
It's in your drawer, you've locked it all away
Well, I hate to disappoint you so
When you think you've got it right
So take this as a warning
When you wake up in the morning
[Chorus:]
I'll be gone, like a bird flown across the sea
I'll be gone, gone to where I wanted to be
I'll be gone, and when I'm gone, I'll be free
I remember when you told me to behave
Well, I've had enough of being your personal slave
And I suggest you don't try and stop me
Not unless you want a fight
And don't come running or crying to me
'Cause if you want my help, you know where I'll be
[Chorus]
So if you want to have someone to wait on you
Then you'd better get someone else, 'cause I'm through
[Chorus]
I'll be gone and when I'm gone, baby, I'll be free.
