Lyrics:

Cataclysm                    Gavin Dunne 2014
 
Follow the signs
Pursue the divine
Minds of a golden age
Never to see
Eternity
The key becomes the cage
 
Journeys
Into eternity
Accelerate into the great unknown
Burning
Into adversity
Too late we learned we never were alone
 
We are the last
Children of the cataclysm
Awoken in a silent prison
Out into the great collapse we ride (we ride, we ride, we ride)
We are the last
Shadows of a ravaged paradise
Sanctuary born of sacrifice
Supernova dying stars collide
 
Further we go
Eager to know
Expand reality
Pushing the verge
Savour the surge
Dismiss finality

Journeys
Into the unexplored
Auroras shimmer in the glistening sky
Burning
Quenching the thirst for more
To face the great vast dark and multiply
 
We are the last
Children of the cataclysm
Awoken in a silent prison
Out into the great collapse we ride (we ride, we ride, we ride)
We are the last
Shadows of a ravaged paradise
Sanctuary born of sacrifice
Supernova dying stars collide
 
Worlds are spinning into vertigo out of control
Walk the ashes of a golden age preserve its soul
 
We are the last
Children of the cataclysm
Awoken in a silent prison
Out into the great collapse we ride (we ride, we ride, we ride)
We are the last
Shadows of a ravaged paradise
Sanctuary born of sacrifice
Supernova dying stars collide

Cataclysm by Miracle Of Sound

Another preview! The longest Miracle Of Sound song ever. Clocking in at just under 12 minutes. Either the best thing I've ever made or a load of self indulgent, excessive twaddle, possibly both.  Expand  description for lyrics!

LYRICS:
Mother Earth                     Gavin Dunne 2015 

I am the cell unfolding
I am the spread
I am the first mutation
I wove the thread

I am the crash of oceans
The crush of plates
I am the constant motion
The rush of weight

I am the voice of nature
I am the breeze
I am the dancing spirit
Between the trees

I am the pull of instinct
The primal need
I am the spark inside the
Technology

As you crash collide
I will be inside
Connect you all with love

All outside inside around you
I am everywhere you go you roam
Universal love has bound you
To eachother to my blood and my bones 

Everything you know
All the variations vast
Fur and flesh and feather
We all play our part
In this glorious orchestra 
We all sing together

As you crash collide
I will be inside
Connect you all with love

All outside inside around you
I am everywhere you go you roam
Universal love has bound you
To eachother to my blood and my bones 

But your nature’s tried
To break your stride
Such violence in your hearts...

And the more you grow
And the more you know
The more you search astray
Look away from lies
Take it back inside
The answer’s clear as day

And every severed youth
Every rejected truth
A wound you’ll never mend
Every war you wage
Every act you stage
You pull towards the end
Towards the end

Divide
Divine

You are all a part of me                
Beautiful ubiquity 


Mother Earth

Another metal preview. Based around the famous Irish pirate queen Grace O'Malley!

LYRICS: 

Gráinne Mhaol, Queen of Pirates


Daughter of the dún
Terror of the west
Sailed the coasts of Ireland 
With O’Malley on her crest

Sailors on the blue 
Shakin’ in their cots
Feelin’ the foreboding of 
The terror that she wrought

Hup the hull and away we go
Stock the galley o’gold
Whack the divil the gales he blow
We’ll batter him up in the hold 

Dance along on the waterline
Speed us over the waves
Back to back on the borderlines
To never shut up & behave 

Gráinne Mhaol
Queen of the pirates
She set sail
On the raging sea
Gráinne Mhaol
The gleam of the Irish
Spun her tales
On the ocean free 

Never to be caught
Tangled on the ropes
Hacked away the lengthy locks 
In order to elope           

She would lose no fight
She would take no shite
Stole the noble offspring 
In the middle of the night

Hup the hull and away we go
Stock the galley o’gold
Whack the divil the gales he blow
We’ll batter him up in the hold

Dance along on the waterline
Speed us over the waves
Back to back on the borderlines
To never shut up & behave 

Gráinne Mhaol
Queen of the pirates
She set sail
On the raging sea
Gráinne Mhaol
The gleam of the Irish
Spun her tales
On the ocean free 

Banríon na farraige
Cróga agus tréan
Ag taisteal ar na dtonnta
Cailín ag troid di féin

Tabhair faoi na Breataine
Éist leis a béic
Scrios na báid leatromach
Ag cosaint ar an ríocht

Translation:
[Queen of the sea
Strong & powerful
Travelling on the waves
A girl fighting for herself
Charge towards the British
Listen to her yell
Smash the oppressive ships
Defending the kingdom]

Never to fall!!!
A rebel in all!!!

Gráinne Mhaol
Queen of the pirates
She set sail
On the raging sea
Gráinne Mhaol
The gleam of the Irish
Spun her tales
On the ocean free 


Grainne Mhaol: Queen Of Pirates

This version of the song has no loudness war mastering compression. I made it to show fans the difference and how having a large dynamic range makes the music sound clearer, more exiting and just all round better!

Yes - it's much quieter. So use your volume knob and turn it up to the same volume as the album version and play them back to back. Pay particular attention to the drums and percussion, how they thump & punch much harder in this version. Notice the music has so much more space, more air, more clarity in all instruments. You'll hopefully instantly hear the difference! 

Also, this has nothing to do with file size/format compression. It's to do with dynamic audio limiting compression applied at the mastering stage.

Who's First

I’m not back. I’m in the process of revisiting tracks I produced until I stopped last year. It’s something I’ve wanted to accomplish while my health holds out. As always, everything is free to download and pass around, whatever. Any track you find titled “Magic XXX” were originally just outlines that I started with. Some are in my collection under different names. Hope y’all like’em... Later Nerds!

Professionally curious about music & fan of humanity. Composer for games (Journey, Abzu, AC Syndicate, Absolver, The Banner Saga), films, and concert music.
