I adore this track! It's my favorite of mothbeanie's tracks on the album, and also probably my favorite mothbeanie mashup ever? Negotiating multiple key changes in a mashup without feeling sour or discontinuous is already impressive, but the really amazing part comes in the second half. The nightcore bit is so funny but also I unironically love it so much! The treatment drastically heightens the psych-pop mood of the original sample. It's hard to articulate exactly why CLOUD MUSIC hits so well for me but I seriously think this track is really special.
moth's notes:
the title gives away the climax a little, doesn't it? the "CLOUD" part comes from how dreamy and airy this ended up sounding—originally, the Bazzi part was from an idea that never got finished, but when I put it in it basically made the track.
Cheryl's notes:
the fucking nightcore bazzi is so goddamn powerful also stan grubbin
lyrics
Baby, you know that I miss you, I wanna get with you tonight (We go together)
But I cannot, baby girl, and that's the issue (Better than birds of a feather, you and me)
Girl, you know I miss you, I just wanna kiss you (We change the weather, yeah)
But I can't right now so, baby (I'm feelin' heat in December when you're 'round me)
Kiss me through the phone
Kiss me through the phone (I've been dancin' on top of cars and stumblin' out of bars)
I'll see you later on, later on (I follow you through the dark, can't get enough)
Kiss me through the phone (You're the medicine and the pain)
Kiss me through the phone (the tattoo inside my brain)
See you when I get home, when I get home (And, baby, you know it's obvious)
I'm a sucker for you
Baby, I know that you like me, you my future wifey (You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly)
Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, yeah (I'm a sucker for you, yeah)
You can be my Bonnie, I can be your Clyde (Any road you take)
You could be my wife, text me, call me (you know that you'll find me, I'm a sucker for)
I need you in my life, yeah all day every day I need ya (all the subliminal things no one knows about you)
And every time I see ya my feelings get deeper (About you, about you, about you)
I miss ya, I miss ya, I really wanna kiss you but I can't (And you're makin' the typical me break my typical rules)
Mine (Baby, you know that I miss you, I wanna get with you tonight)
Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time (But I cannot, baby girl, and that's the issue)
(Girl, you know I miss you, I just wanna kiss you)
Feels like forever even if forever's tonight (But I can't right now so, baby kiss me through the phone)
Just lay with me (Kiss me through the phone)
waste this night away with me, you're (I'll see you later on, later on)
(Kiss me through the phone)
Mine (Kiss me through the phone, see you when I get home)
I can't look away, I just gotta say (When I get home)
I'm so fucking happy you're alive (Baby, I been thinking lately so much about you)
(Everything about you, I like it, I love it)
Swear to God I'm down if you're down all you gotta say is right (Kissing you in public, thinking nothing of it)
(Roses by the dozen, talking on the phone)
Girl anything I can do just to make you feel alright (Baby you so sexy, your voice is so lovely) [I've been dancin' on top of cars and stumblin' out of bars]
(I love your complexion) [I follow you through the dark, can't get enough]
Oh, oh, oh, oh (I miss ya, I miss ya)
I just had to let you know you're fine (I miss ya, I really wanna kiss you but I can't) [You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain]
Six, seven, eight, [And, baby, you know it's obvious]
triple nine, eight, two, one, two [I'm a sucker for you]
Mine (Baby, you know that I miss you, I wanna get with you tonight)
Hands on your body, I don't wanna waste no time (But I cannot, baby girl, and that's the issue)
(Girl, you know I miss you, I just wanna kiss you)
Feels like forever even if forever's tonight (But I can't right now so, baby kiss me through the phone)
Just lay with me (Kiss me through the phone)
waste this night away with me, you're (I'll see you later on, later on)
(Kiss me through the phone)
Mine (Kiss me through the phone, see you when I get home)
I can't look away, I just gotta say

rly dense, interesting mashup album. goes far beyond "acapella and instrumental" and into some rly accomplished and exciting plunderphonics Allison Fleischer
gorgeous lofi ambient pop album. has a lot of surprises and refuses to really show its hand at first. deeply personal and affected me in ways i cant rly describe Allison Fleischer

Giddy music that could easily score a playful Nintendo game, these are bright, chirpy melodies designed to bring a smile. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 3, 2023
