Song Description
This tune is for the 1st Loop It Or Lose It Challenge.
Notes about what I did:
Two new loops are created by manipulating the original loop.
The song opens with the first new loop that is made by chopping up the original loop. The original loop is divided into four pieces. I kept just the second piece and the fourth piece. They are played in the opposite order, three times. Then they are played one more time, but shifted down two half-steps, and I chopped off the last beat.
The creation of the second loop manipulation is a little more complicated. During the first verse, I played the original loop delayed by two beats. There are also background chords, more on that in a moment.
During the second verse, I again play the original loop delayed by two beats. And at the same time, I also mixed in the original undelayed loop, but shifted down 7 half-steps, followed by 5 half-steps.
The "chords" that are formed by this process are also played by other instruments elsewhere: they form the background during verse 1, and verse 3, and they form the basis for the build up to the ending.
To give the loop a fuller sound during the build up, I additionally mixed the original loop shifted the same way again, only an octave higher. This gives it a sort of twelve-string guitar feeling.

Lyrics
Break The Loop
We've been over this a hundred times
And you just don't seem to get it
I've been waiting here three hours
The kids are tired and hungry
I need to be able to count on you
I never know when you're gonna be here
This just happens over and over and over
I just need to be able to count on you
You're never home anymore
There's always some big emergency
You're always leaving early, and you're always working late
The kids don't even know you any more
Over and over and over

I need to be able to count on you
I never know when you're gonna be here
This just happens over and over and over
I just need to be able to count on you
You're never home anymore
There's always some big emergency
You're always leaving early, and you're always working late
The kids don't even know you any more

Nice work on the vegomatic slice and dice. Good for the song too!
