This one is actually really, really important to me. In late 2014, I met a group of people at Nightmare Nights who liked my music and brought me onto all sorts of projects they were working on. The group was called What Came Down Productions, and as we got more and more involved, I started to work with them on all sorts of stuff. Most of it was providing music for other projects they were working on.
There was, however, one very big thing that we all were coming together on: a full-on cartoon called Hybrid Theory (the name is a tribute to the Linkin Park album of the same name). I was brought on to voice one of the main characters as well as write all of the music for the cartoon. This was the theme song I wrote.
There will be several other What Came Down-related songs you will see during the 2015 tracks of this album. Hopefully, we can and will pick the cartoon back up someday.
lyrics
It all happened in the Blink of an eye
Plucked from the urban jungle that I knew
To make the new count one eighty-two
And tell the city life I loved goodbye
I say this new place is
Way too boring and bland
He says, "Six Pack up your bags"
"And welcome to the Band"
Hybrid Theory
Virtuosos making nature bend and dance at will
Hybrid Theory
Mutants with wings and scales showing off their skill
Hybrid Theory
Beating back the Punks before they're in for the kill
Hybrid Theory, Hybrid Theory
I've gotta find a way to see this through
This quiet little town just ain't my style
But our Six Pack makes it all worth while
Now I plant the seeds of something new
Piece by Piece
Humanity will always rebuild
We'll stand together in this world
Of kill or be killed
Hybrid Theory
Virtuosos making nature bend and dance at will
Hybrid Theory
Mutants with wings and scales showing off their skill
Hybrid Theory
Beating back the Punks before they're in for the kill
Hybrid Theory, Hybrid Theory
Meteora made it all a mess
We're here to clean up the funk
The job will get done, expect nothing less
We won't rest until we deal with every Punk
Hybrid Theory
Virtuosos making nature bend and dance at will
Hybrid Theory
Mutants with wings and scales showing off their skill
Hybrid Theory
Beating back the Punks before they're in for the kill
Hybrid Theory, Hybrid Theory
Hybrid Theory
