So I was reading @crimetimesteadicam 's Supermassive Retinol Overdose, as you do, and upon reaching the Concert-Hole-Goemon-Winter-Soldier-Yata-do-you-want-a-snowcone scene in Chapter 3 I thought it would make an excellent movie scene. And then I thought "Wait, I can do (something like) that"

So I studied up on gauze pop, missed the point of gauze pop, wrote a gauze-y electro pop song, watched & sampled a bunch of clips of Lupin III, threw everything into a blender, aaaaand made. sort of a. soundtrack? for the chapter?

I call it "Vitamin A." Here it is.

[CW for canon-typical gunshots, unspecified loud-ish noises, lyrics about getting high, and extremely amateur mixing]

Anyway, @crimetimesteadicam , I hope this brings you half as much joy as your fic has brought me! The flier for Da Concert Hole makes me laugh every time I read it :)

[Lyrics under cut]

I need you to stay with me, baby

Little confused, the memory's fading

Can't remember if we fucked

Lube up, slip your knuckles through the handcuffs

Take me down slowly, watch the smoke rise

Serpentine as seconds swim by

Roll the papers, dodge the curveball

Tonight, we're smoking retinol

Talk me down, talk me down, talk me down

Take me out, take me out, take me out

I don't know, I don't know, I don't who

Who I am, who I am, who I am

Watch your back and trip down the staircase

Matcha swirl, laced something I can't taste

Open wide and catch the ashfall

Tonight, we're huffing retinol

[Instrumental]

"Goemon, what are you—?"

Talk me down, talk me down, talk me down

Take me out, take me out, take me out

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

Who I am, who I am, who I am

#okay to rb #this was my first time writing lyrics and im so nervous aaaaaaaa #lupin iii #supermassive retinol overdose #pls don't try to get high off face cream idk what it'll do to you but im sure it won't be pleasant #delphi washington #anyway here's where i will ramble about production. i had to record the vocals in my car for lack of anywhere else.#and genius that i am i wrote the majority of the melody at the very tippy top of my range because i wanted to do that whisper-singing thing #yk like Glass Animals #it didnt work and i think the autotune really pushed it over into electropop therapy but ah well what can you do #it's a decent electropop song haha #NOT THERAPY. I meant 'territory'#wow im really nervous hahahaha #anyway pls resd the fic!!! it's seriously so good!!!!! if i knew anything about fic binding i would totally bind it
