  • More Than Just a Logo
    Aug 24 2025

    “More Than Just a Logo” by Lagoon of Randomness™ is a punk-meets-lofi alt-rock anthem powered by chill-step grooves and an energetic male vocal. The track takes aim at brands that cheap out on identity design, reminding them that a logo isn’t just decoration—it’s the heartbeat of strategy, loyalty, and recognition. With raw energy layered over lofi textures, it’s both a warning and a rally cry: invest in your brand, because shortcuts fade but identity lasts.


    TITLE: “More Than Just a Logo” A Lagoon of Randomness™ / CTRL+R Studio™ anthem



    [VERSE 1] You found the cheapest bid in town Five-dollar logo just spinning round But now it breaks when you scale it wide Colors clash, and the font can’t hide

    No vector files, just a JPEG mess No brand guide, just a guessing test It looked okay for a day or two But your brand deserves more than “eh, that’ll do”



    [CHORUS] 🎶 More than just a logo, it’s your name Your first impression, your lasting flame Don’t cheap it out, don’t roll the dice Invest in something built precise

    Ask the questions, see the range Don’t get bullied into “no change” Your brand’s a story, make it true It starts with an identity made for you 🎶



    [VERSE 2] Suppliers swim like sharks in the sea Selling shortcuts, chasing fees But the right designer takes the time To match your voice, your soul, your line

    Do you have variations, black and white? Does it work on a billboard, or late at night? Is there a brand book, a style to keep? Or will you pay again when your assets sleep?



    [CHORUS] 🎶 More than just a logo, it’s your sign Your heartbeat written into design Don’t cheap it out, don’t roll the dice Invest in something built precise

    Ask for files, the full array So your brand won’t fade away A guide, a book, the assets too That’s how your story carries through 🎶



    [BRIDGE – SPOKEN / LOFI DROP] “EPS, SVG, PNG… Don’t leave with less than three. Ask for fonts, ask for rights, Make sure your palette shines in lights.

    Remember: It’s your brand. Not theirs. Own it.”



    [FINAL CHORUS – UPLIFTING] 🎶 More than just a logo, it’s your face The soul that holds your marketplace Don’t cut corners, build it strong A brand that lives your whole life long

    Ask the right, demand the best Your brand deserves nothing less Be. Create. Live. with vision new Your story starts and ends with you 🎶


    [OUTRO – FADE] (whisper) “Logos fade… but identity lasts.”

  • One Bad Apple (Gets the Raise)
    Aug 24 2025

    “One Bad Apple (Gets the Raise)” by Lagoon of Randomness™ is a lofi-infused alternative rock track carried by an energetic male vocal and chilled pop-rock grooves. The song calls out toxic workplace dynamics—when the troublemaker gets rewarded while true talent is overlooked—and flips it into a powerful anthem for building fair, thriving teams. With raw energy and chill lofi edges, it’s both a critique and a rallying cry for better work culture.


    🎤 TITLE: “One Bad Apple (Gets the Raise)” A Lagoon of Randomness™ / CTRL+R Studio™ workplace anthem



    [VERSE 1] You’ve got a star who shows up every day Carrying the load in a quiet way But at the meeting, who gets the praise? The loud distraction with the messy maze

    You keep the troublemaker in the chair While the real talent’s gasping for air Retention drops, morale runs low That’s how a company starts to slow



    [CHORUS] 🎶 One bad apple gets the raise While the garden rots away Neglect the ones who build the ground You’ll watch your empire tumble down

    Hire with care, reward the true Invest in those who carry you Be. Create. Live. with culture right And every team will shine their light 🎶



    [VERSE 2] Deadlines met by the quiet few But chaos rules when the wrong one’s crew Meetings stalled, no follow-through While innovators feel ignored, subdued

    You can’t grow trust when it’s unfair Promoting noise, not those who care Turnover costs more than you see Your brand bleeds out with toxicity



    [CHORUS] 🎶 One bad apple gets the raise While the garden rots away Neglect the ones who build the ground You’ll watch your empire tumble down

    Hire with care, reward the true Invest in those who carry you Be. Create. Live. with culture right And every team will shine their light 🎶



    [BRIDGE – SPOKEN / LOFI BEAT] “Hire slow. Fire fast. Don’t let drama outlast. Reward the quiet brilliance. Stop feeding the resistance.”



    [FINAL CHORUS – UPLIFTING] 🎶 Cultivate a space to grow Where every voice has room to show Build with trust, respect, and time That’s how your culture climbs and shines

    Hire with care, reward the true Invest in those who carry you Be. Create. Live. with vision right That’s how your team ignites 🎶

  • You Didn’t Do the Research
    Aug 24 2025

    “You Didn’t Do the Research” by Lagoon of Randomness™ is a pop rock alternative anthem driven by electric guitars, raw male vocals, and layered harmonies over a steady, punchy beat. Both witty and cautionary, it calls out brands that skip the basics—market research, segmentation, and strategy—only to watch their plans fall flat. With its mix of energy and honesty, the track is a wake-up call: know your audience before you play the game.


    🎸 TITLE: “You Didn’t Do the Research” A Lagoon of Randomness™ / CTRL+R Studio™ anthem



    [VERSE 1] You launched a product no one asked you for Spent big on ads, but they closed no doors Your “ideal customer” was just a guess Now your strategy’s a giant mess

    You picked a market you don’t even know Talking Gen Z but your copy’s old Selling champagne to a lemonade crowd And you wonder why they don’t stick around



    [CHORUS] 🎶 You didn’t do the research, now you pay the price Shot in the dark don’t hit precise Know your segment, find your tribe That’s how your message comes alive

    Research first, then strategy Understand before you spend the fee Be. Create. Live. the smarter way Or watch your brand just fade away 🎶



    [VERSE 2] You skipped the surveys, ignored the polls Your service solves problems nobody holds You built a castle on shifting sand Now you’re screaming offers nobody planned

    No personas, no data to trust Decisions made on “vibes” and “musts” Target’s unclear, your funnel leaks ’Cause guessing games don’t drive the peaks



    [CHORUS] 🎶 You didn’t do the research, now you pay the price Shot in the dark don’t hit precise Know your segment, find your tribe That’s how your message comes alive

    Research first, then strategy Understand before you spend the fee Be. Create. Live. the smarter way Or watch your brand just fade away 🎶



    [BRIDGE – SPOKEN / LOFI BREAKDOWN] “Who’s your audience? What do they need? What do they value? What do they read? If you can’t answer, don’t launch yet. Insight is power—you don’t forget.”



    [FINAL CHORUS – BIG & BRIGHT] 🎶 Do the research, take the time Build the story, make it align Know your people, tailor the play That’s how your brand survives the day

    Research first, then strategy Truth beats guessing, guaranteed Be. Create. Live. with clarity strong That’s how your brand belongs 🎶



    [OUTRO – FADE] (whisper) “Guesswork isn’t strategy.”

  • Wrong Partner, Wrong Play
    Aug 23 2025

    “Wrong Partner, Wrong Play” by Lagoon of Randomness™ blends alternative rock grit with chill lofi-pop textures to deliver a sharp anthem about influencer marketing gone wrong. With witty storytelling and smooth yet edgy rhythms, the track calls out what happens when brands chase hype instead of the right fit. A reminder that strategy, accountability, and the right partners turn noise into trust.


    🎧 TITLE: “Wrong Partner, Wrong Play” A Lagoon of Randomness™ / CTRL+R Studio™ musical lesson



    [VERSE 1] You picked an influencer with a million likes But none of their fans wanna buy your life Wrong audience, wrong vibe, wrong scene Big numbers don’t mean what they seem

    They never used your product, never knew your brand But you still cut the check, put the cash in their hand Now you’re wondering why the clicks don’t flow ’Cause trust don’t grow when the roots don’t show



    [CHORUS] 🎶 Don’t chase hype, it’s a losing game Find the voice that speaks your name Set the rules, keep receipts in line Make the message theirs and mine

    The right partner’s worth the cost Without them, your campaign’s lost Be. Create. Live. with strategy true Hold them accountable—it’s on you 🎶



    [VERSE 2] They posted once, then ghosted the feed No follow-up story, no spark, no lead They took the product, never gave it back Now you’re left with a contract gap

    Did you track engagement, set KPIs? Or trust the glitter in their eyes? Influence works when it feels real Authenticity’s the closing deal



    [CHORUS] 🎶 Don’t chase hype, it’s a losing game Find the voice that speaks your name Set the rules, keep receipts in line Make the message theirs and mine

    The right partner’s worth the cost Without them, your campaign’s lost Be. Create. Live. with strategy true Hold them accountable—it’s on you 🎶



    [BRIDGE – SPOKEN W/ BEAT DROP] “Check their audience, not just their clout. Do they share your values? Can they help you out? Contracts matter, track the score. Influence is partnership—not just a chore.”



    [FINAL CHORUS – UPLIFTING] 🎶 Don’t chase numbers, chase the fit Look for passion, truth in it Influence that feels alive That’s the way your brand will thrive

    The right partner shines your light Turns campaigns into something bright Be. Create. Live. with vision new Make them accountable—it’s on you 🎶



    [OUTRO – LOFI FADE] (whisper) “Not all followers are influence.”

    Aug 23 2025

    “Hook, Line, Action” by Lagoon of Randomness™ is a lofi anthem for every marketer tired of bad ads. Smooth beats and witty lyrics call out common mistakes—blurry stock photos, weak headlines, missing CTAs—while showing how to build ads that actually work. With a chill groove and strategic flow, it’s both a vibe and a lesson: grab attention, share value, drive action. Because good ads don’t shout—they connect. #HookLineAction #LagoonOfRandomness #CTRLplusRStudio


    🎧 TITLE: “Hook, Line, Action”
    A Lagoon of Randomness™ lofi track


    VERSE 1
    Scrolling down my feed, what do I see?
    A blurry stock photo yelling at me
    "Buy this now!" with no reason why
    Skip. Next. Forget. Goodbye.

    Ad budget burning, clicks all fake
    No clear offer, just noise you make
    If you don’t speak to what I need
    Then your ad is just another seed... lost in the weeds

    [CHORUS]
    🎶 Start with a hook—catch my eye
    Tell me the “why,” don’t let it slide
    Show me the value, keep it true
    Make it clear what I should do

    Hook, line, call to action tight
    That’s how your message shines at night
    No wasted words, no random spin
    That’s how your ads can finally win 🎶


    VERSE 2
    Saw another ad with twelve lines long
    Mixed three fonts—it all felt wrong
    CTA buried at the bottom of the page
    No wonder your clicks disengage

    Keep it simple, keep it clear
    What’s in it for me? Bring it near
    A headline sharp, an image clean
    That’s how you cut through the machine


    CHORUS
    🎶 Start with a hook—catch my eye
    Tell me the “why,” don’t let it slide
    Show me the value, keep it true
    Make it clear what I should do

    Hook, line, call to action tight
    That’s how your message shines at night
    Be. Create. Live. with ads that fit
    Every pixel has a purpose in it 🎶


    BRIDGE
    "Hook: Grab attention.
    Line: Share the value.
    Action: Tell me what’s next."
    (soft echo: “That’s it. That’s it. That’s it.”)


    FINAL CHORUS
    🎶 Hook, line, call to action true
    Build your ads with me and you
    No more noise, no guessing games
    Structure sells and earns your name 🎶


    OUTRO
    (whisper)
    “Bad ads fade. Good ads flow.”

  • Don't Do That
    Aug 23 2025

    "Don’t Do That" is a playful marketing anthem by Lagoon of Randomness™ + CTRL+R Studio™, calling out the most common branding fails—too many hashtags, stretched logos, chasing trends—and flipping them into lessons that actually work. With witty lyrics, groove-driven flow, and a bold message, it reminds creators and businesses to build with intention, not noise. Be. Create. Live. The smart way.

    TITLE: “Don’t Do That”
    A marketing anthem by CTRL+R Studio™ / Lagoon of Randomness™
    Style: Funky alt-pop with a dash of satire
    Mood: Playful, smart, and strategic
    Purpose: Call out common marketing fails + offer better choices

    VERSE 1
    Posting every hour just to stay on trend?
    Used 12 hashtags and forgot your brand?
    Colors clashing like a Monday mood—
    Fonts from 1992? Oof, dude...

    Your logo’s stretched, your story’s flat
    You launched a sale—no one clicked that
    You changed your vibe every week this year
    Guess what? The people aren’t clear


    CHORUS
    🎶 Don’t do that—your brand deserves better
    Think long-term, not just the newsletter
    Don’t chase noise, build with intention
    CTRL+R’s here—did we forget to mention?

    Strategic, bold, and made to last
    No more random tactics from the past
    Be. Create. Live. with design that hits
    Your message should fit, not just exist 🎶


    VERSE 2
    Analytics dusty, no call to action
    Still asking your cousin for design satisfaction?
    Bought some followers—now your reach is fake
    Even the bots took a coffee break

    No vibe guide, no tone of voice
    Did you even plan or just roll the dice?
    You said “let’s go viral” with a dance from 2020
    That strategy? Cost you plenty


    CHORUS
    🎶 Don’t do that—your business deserves more
    Let’s build a brand they can’t ignore
    No Canva chaos, no pixel shame
    You need clarity, not just a name

    Refine the look, align the soul
    CTRL+R helps you hit your goal
    Be. Create. Live. the smart way through
    Because strategy looks good on you 🎶


    BRIDGE
    "Just because it worked for them...
    Doesn’t mean it works for you."
    (sample glitch beat)
    "Templates aren’t a vision. Consistency is king."
    (pause)
    "Brand is memory. Make it stick."


    FINAL CHORUS
    🎶 Do this—build it with heart
    Create with vision, make your mark
    No more guessing, no more stress
    CTRL+R turns chaos to success

    Be. Create. Live. the bold brand way
    Randomness refined every day
    You got the spark—now get the plan
    Let’s build a brand that actually stands 🎶


    OUTRO
    (whispers)
    "Don’t do that… Do this."
