I had the distinguished honor of writing a power ballad for a lo-fi online game. I’m happy to report I did not have to sing or play on the final version. That demo is for third interviewer ears only.

Lyrics:
Deep out here in space, without a friend near to turn to,
Sour Space Shark does what he’s been born to do.
Turning sweet space gummies sour, with his trusty sour gel pen,
It’s an extreme way of livin’ introducing gummies to their juicy end.
He flies on through space, never complaining about loneliness.
After all he is a shark, and has no desire for conversation!
Gummies! There’s nowhere you can run to!
Gummies! Cause you’re in space! You’re in space!
Gummies! You were sweet! But now you’re sour!
Gummies! Sour Space Shark’s gonna get you!
His parents had ideas for him, but he chose to go his own path.
He could have been a great space lawyer, or maybe a space CPA.
But his passions led him here, shooting space gummies in space
He wouldn’t have it any other way, and his parents are now fine with it!
Gummies! There’s nowhere you can run to!
Gummies! Remember, you’re in space! You’re in space!
Gummies! How did you end up floating up here?
Gummies! No matter cause Sour Space Shark gonna get you!
Woah, Sour Space Shark!
And now you get this juicy space guitar solo!
Gummies! There’s nowhere you can run to!
Gummies! You’re in space! Outer space!
Gummies! There will be no handshake or compromise!
Gummies! Sour Space Shark is going to get every one of you!
