Uptick by Zel Ascend
This song has a driving beat and a melodic flow that builds toward each chorus which provides a punchy refrain. Inspired by the rash of violent events that plague our society, this song is meant to be a response to that culture of weaponized angst and aggression, and offers a response saying that instead of doing things the way we've always been, we need to push hard to fight back with love and kindness.
Lyrics:
Are we primed to kill with kindness
Armed to the teeth with love and fairness
When will we play nice
Lock and load and slay with sweetness
Aim for the heart, uptick in solace
When will we play nice
Shot down
Let's weaponize love
Fire semi-automatic good
Lockdown
Unload rounds and rounds of love
From our high-capacity hearts
Can we shoot for greater goodness
Bulletproof peace, uptick compassion
When can we play nice
Sights high, we’ll rise above this
Our cold, dead hands still clutch benevolence
We're through playing nice
Shot down
Let's weaponize love
Fire semi-automatic good
Lockdown
Unload rounds and rounds of love
From our high-capacity hearts
Every day, everywhere, steady uptick, tick toll
Every day, everywhere, this is out of control
Are we primed to kill with kindness
Armed to the teeth with love and fairness
We're through playing nice
Shot down
Let's weaponize love
Fire semi-automatic good
Lockdown
Unload rounds and rounds of love
From our high-capacity hearts
Lost in the prime of our lives
Come on make my day
Lockdown
Your automatic thoughts and prayers won't cut it
Gotta uptick action now

Authors description:
I am a singer/songwriter and composer living in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I released an album on December 15th, 2021 titled Sparkle in the Sun which features guitar, ukulele, synthesizers and sequencers and vocals. Selections from this album are available for licensing to video game developers.
Many of my other tracks are full instrumental compositions that feature interesting melodies and rhythms. I verge toward dark, angsty, rock and pop, with a more uptempo feel. My influences and thus my songwriting style ranges anywhere from pop punk, rock, metal, alternative, folk, to classical.
I look forward to the chance to work with game developers and either bring my existing tracks to them or compose new tracks that meet their needs.
Thank you!
