Had fun with this first draft today

The elevator tone is actually in the beginning of this song but I like it so I put it in at the end here. (Nothing has been mixed, nothing is finished, this I know, just having a good time being dramatic and too caffeinated) 😎🫨🕹️☕️🍵 #wip #music #foryoupageシ #musician #indieartist
