Blood and Bones

I had a little test of YouTube live streaming and just played about for 2-3 hours. This was made from scratch with the challenge of only using commercially available Spitfire Audio libraries. The only part of this that is Bespoke is the Bassoon (purely because we haven't made BML Bassoon yet!). 

Before you mentioned the missing notes - this is based on the 'Hollywood Directors - Steven Spielberg' version of the track 'Flying' by the City of Prague Philharmonic available at (http://play.google.com/store/music/album/The_City_of_Prague_Philharmonic_Orchestra_Hollywoo?id=Bgdaqsfd7tp6jqzhjdotgqgu32i). I picked this version for reference simply because I didn't have longer to spend with the full original score.

It's almost straight out the box  - I did boost the highs a little with EQ but only to replicate the original score's sound. No additional reverb or convolution - just the Spitfire sound! It's also recreated from ear (I don't have any of the JW scores) so excuse any bad notes or improvisations!

Used:
FL Studio 11, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Percussion, BML Mural Volume 1+2, BML Sable Volume 3, BML Flutes, BML Reeds, BML Low Brass, BML Trombones, BML Horns, Albion, Solo Strings, Harp, Orchestral Grand, British Woods (Bassoon staccato only)

Lyrics:
I know you belong to somebody new
But tonight you belong to me
Although we're apart, you're a part of my heart
And tonight you belong to me
Way down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
Once more just to dream
In the moonlight
My honey, I know with the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Way down, way down along the stream, 
How very, very sweet will be your screams
Once more just to dream
In the silvery moonlight
My honey, I know
With the dawn that you will be gone
But tonight you belong to me
Just-a-little ol' me

Intro
If you sleep before I rise, I'll paint my name behind your eyes
And when you wake, you'll speak in moans, of graveyards, soil and broken bones
If you scream, I'll hum instead a lullaby to raise the dead
So close your eyes, be still, be brave. Now hold your breath and dig my grave. 

I tracked you down through burning leaves
Through broken masks and screams. All on Hallows eve
I kissed the dirt, you spoke my name
And now you open the curse that you just can't escape
I found your house, your porchlight dead
The pumpkins watched me crawl where your footsteps led
I pressed my hand against the glass
And now I'll chip away until there's nothing left

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

I used to watch you from afar, your face a beacon in the dark
I'd trail behind you when you'd take a stroll around the local park
I'd watch the way you'd stop and stare at every little thing you'd see
Your eyes so kind, so full of wonder, how I wish they'd look at me
You can't imagine how my life turned upside down when you were gone
A tragic accident that took you from the world which you belong
And so I snuck into the morgue, your final resting place of peace
And took those peepers for myself, a little gift for me to keep
And every now and then, I'd put them in and see things through your eyes
Your friends, your house, your favorite flowers, and the bluest skies
And though you never looked at me, I know you meant to secretly
I see it all now through your eyes, the way that it was meant to be
But lately, I've been craving more, I just need you around
And so I tracked down where they buried you beneath the ground
An incantation stolen from the book of the Gloomnomicon
And just like that, from out your coffin came that scream-like song

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold
This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

Lyrics:
I'll give you water if you'll scream my name for me
Or even better, tell me that you'll play my game
I'll leave the chains off, take off all of the duct-tape
I'll let you run free, please scream, give a little chase
I'll give you freedom, please don't go disappoint me
I've got an itch for you that just won't let me be
You look so pretty, baby, through this scope I see
But when I take your kneecaps out and watch you bleed

It's like time slows down
But the world keeps spinning round
I'll drag you way back down
To my corpse-filled underground

You can take a break if you just tell me that it hurts
A little deeper cut, yeah, show me what you're worth
I'll leave the chains off, take off all of the duct-tape
I'll let you run free, please scream, give a little chase
I've got a sharpened edge with a yearning for your flesh
Amphetamines to keep your consciousness so fresh
Electric stimulation, turn the voltage on
Locked in this game together - darkness until dawn

It's like time slows down
But the world keeps spinning round
I'll drag you way back down
To my corpse-filled underground
Until you're gone
Until you're gone

I've got a secret, listen, I won't tell you again
I've got a special evening planned for you, my friend
I've dug a hole six feet out back next to the fence
It looks so cosy, really, you're one lucky man
I've got arsenic and lye I got today
I've sharpened all my knives and brought a new IV
We're gonna have a special moment here alone
I wanna see what you look like as Blood and Bones
And with a buzz of a saw
Oh baby we'll be playing God
I'll hold your heart inside
And have it beat out every cry
Until you're gone
Until you're gone
Until you're gone

VENDING MACHINE OF LOVE   The Theme From OnlyCans

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
