It took me a long time to pursue music. I always wanted to, and I was told I had a nice voice for it from time to time. However, I was full of self doubt, like most people I'm sure. When I first started recording it was on my phone, and to be frank it sounded pretty bad. It took me awhile to learn how to make it sound good. How you hear it in your head is usually not really what it sounds like. After awhile though I started being able to make a song within a few days to a week. It took me a long time to get things to where they are now. I have a full time job, and a family, responsibilities, but I also have a dream. I realize, it may never be where I dreamt it would be, but that's ok. I'm having fun and leaving something behind for my family for when I'm eventually gone. I just wanted to write a song about that. It's a quick easy number, nothing complex just 4 chords and a strumming pattern. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
These dreams I’ve been holding on to
Well, they’ll probably never come true
But if you’re telling me there’s a chance
Well, then better hold on to your pants

Cuz I’ll be blasting full steam ahead
And no, I won’t stop until I’m dead
even if I don’t make it to the ball
At least I can say I gave it my all
Gave it my all, Gave it my all

All these memories I’m holding on to
just marks of what I’ve been through
They keep me writing all these songs
to leave to my kids before I’m gone

Cuz I’ll be blasting full steam ahead
And no, I won’t stop until I’m dead
Cuz even if I don’t make it to the ball
At least I can say I gave it my all
Gave it my all, gave it my all

When that time does come
For me to head on home
To some place no one knows
In the clouds or down below
I just hope you’ll play my songs
And hear my spirit sing along

Cuz I’ll be blasting full steam ahead
And no, I won’t stop until I’m dead
Cuz even if I don’t make it to the ball
At least I can say I gave it my all
Gave it my all, gave it my all

Gave It My All

Producteur amateur pour le plaisir de la musique.
Looking for vocals. PM me for collab

Off for the rest of the summer.  Back in the fall.  Be safe.

Thanks for listening and more importantly, thank you for sharing your work and recommendations!

I work as a nurse in the state of Florida and I love being there for people in need. My other true passion is making music. I'm kind of an amateur but I look forward to getting better and making the best music I can.

Most the songs I do in about a day and then move on. I don't have the skill to make them radio quality yet, but I hope with collaborating with others and making my own music I will learn some skills along the way. I don't focus on perfection, I focus on emotion and try to put feeling into my music.

Also, I love to get lost in other peoples work, I will often play video games while listening to a bunch of someone else's works and commenting on the ones I like the most, not all though, don't wanna seem like a stalker, unless you like that of course.

Been feeling a little burnt out lately, so if I'm not responsive please don't take it personal. Having to work OT to keep the family afloat, so I haven't had time for music and when I do have any time I'm just too exhausted. I definitely want to make more it brings me a lot of joy to make music. At the same time it is very taxing, reaching into the depths can sometimes cause unwanted feelings to linger longer than they should. Anyway, I love all the support you have all sent my way. See ya around!

Update: Soundcloud has become too expensive and the free version is terrible. They removed a lot of my songs etc... I will be moving on to a different distributer and working on more social media outlets so I won't be on here as much. Many of my songs will be on Spotify, apple etc, I'm in the process of transitioning them. I will leave what I can with the allotted two hours. I appreciate all of you. James Geer, Miami Jeff, Steve V... If you guys are reading this I want you to know how much I appreciate you guys. You are all wonderful musicians and you shared your knowledge and music with me and I'm a better artist because of it, so, thanks!!! See yall around!!!

I create atmospheric soundtracks for indie games, blending rock, electronic, and ambient styles.

I have been involved in music as a hobby for many years. I composed, performed, and recorded music with various bands as a bass guitarist. I also worked on my own musical projects. I recently entered the gaming industry and discovered that the world of game music has its own peculiarities and is quite different from everything I did before.

I'm open to collaboration. If you're in need of a memorable soundtrack for your game, don't hesitate to get in touch with me: nikita.s.melnikov@gmail.com
