The Scheme by Steve Sokolowski published on 2025-09-03T16:51:27Z What is The Scheme? Perhaps, someday, I'll tell you, and it's all gonna change. I especially like the locrian chords that start this track, creating the perfect atmosphere. Full details at https://stevesokolowski.com/songs/the-scheme. ---- Every one of them Every one of them They tried to break me down I'm one of them I'm one of them I'm one of them So I'm playin' around And every now and then Every now and then I thought I'd work it out But then again But then again I found a way And I know And I know If I told you the truth If I told you Told you Told you You'd all be amazed It's one hell of a scheme It's all gonna change Once I tell you If you knew what it is You'd be all in my biz Tryna get on my list So I'm hidin' it You can throw all your fits I don't care what you say It is what it is It is what it is It is what it is 'Cause I'm doin' it my way It is what it is It is what it is It is what it is And I'm doin' it my way And I know And I know If I told you the truth If I told you Told you Told you You'd all be amazed It's one hell of a scheme It's all gonna change Once I tell you You'd all be amazed It's one hell of a scheme It's all gonna change Once I tell you Once I tell you You'd all be amazed It's one hell of a scheme It's all gonna change Once I tell you Genre Pop Comment by Paint It Black 🔺Backup Account🔻 actually the first song which got created by AI which really feels alive! And also one of a few songs making use uf those locrian mode twists in the progression in the best way possible: the last song i remember which made a slight use of this to complement the lyrics storytelling was "summervine" by natalie avalon and ville valo! (I know, it's something totally different, yet kinda making complement the overall theme the same way) I'd never thought that it would work so well for edm, although im producing for around 14 years know (whoever it took me till the start of this year to get my understanding of songwriting and music theory on the level i'm now, one just never starts learning, guess that's why our love for music never stops growing) - This is a perfect example what someone who deeply understands music can achieve with the help of AI, it's amazing what could be created if the one feeding the prompts knows exatly what he's doing 🤯 2025-09-03T20:50:36Z Comment by Paint It Black 🔺Backup Account🔻 what a song, what a journey! Such a melodramatic masterpiece! 😳😭🤯 This gave me such a rush of emotions, it's almost overwhelming yet it has so much power & tension holding in the groove & the dominant at the same time to catch me back up on my feet, everytime that slap house bassline drops back to it's root note with that driving groove letting you breathe for a while, just to shoot you back to the moon at "It is what it is And I'm doin' it my way" to introduce the next ascending - perfect use of the locrian scale which sadly get's used not quite often in dance music, with vocal telling such a fitting story to that vibe! 🖤 2025-09-03T20:31:54Z
