"Ashes in the Rain" is a gothic post-punk song that explores the lingering traces of a lost love, haunting the protagonist like a shadow. Inspired by the melancholic and minimalist style of The Cure during the "Boys Don't Cry" era, the song blends clean and reverberated guitars, pulsing bass, and painfully restrained vocals, sometimes layered with ghostly echoes.

The lyrics navigate nostalgia, loss, and obsession. The sonic world is introspective and timeless, dominated by sensations: rain, ashes, silence, haunted sleep.

Sound effects amplify this atmosphere: distant whispers, heavy reverberations, subtle vocal modulations. The bridge loses its melody, giving way to ghostly percussion and distorted murmurs, before the final chorus returns in a kind of emotional catharsis.

"Ashes in the Rain" is both a lament and a dance frozen in memory. It touches those who love sadness set to music, with elegance and restraint.

« Ashes in the Rain » est une chanson post-punk gothique qui explore les traces persistantes d'un amour perdu, hantant le protagoniste telle une ombre. Inspirée par le style mélancolique et minimaliste de The Cure à l'époque « Boys Don't Cry », la chanson mêle guitares claires et réverbérées, basses pulsées et voix douloureusement retenue, parfois parsemée d'échos fantomatiques.

Les paroles naviguent entre nostalgie, perte et obsession. L'univers sonore est introspectif et intemporel, dominé par des sensations : pluie, cendres, silence, sommeil hanté.

Des effets sonores amplifient cette atmosphère : murmures lointains, réverbérations lourdes, subtiles modulations vocales. Le pont perd sa mélodie, laissant place à des percussions fantomatiques et des murmures distordus, avant que le refrain final ne revienne dans une sorte de catharsis émotionnelle.

« Ashes in the Rain » est à la fois une complainte et une danse figée dans la mémoire. Il touche ceux qui aiment la tristesse mise en musique, avec élégance et retenue.

„Ashes in the Rain“ ist ein Post-Punk-Gothic-Chanson, das die anhaltenden Spuren einer ewigen Liebe erforscht und dem Protagonisten ein Ombre erzählt. Inspiriert vom melancholischen und minimalistischen Stil von The Cure aus der Epoche „Boys Don't Cry“, ist der Chanson eine Mischung aus Gitarren, Klar- und Halltönen, pulsierenden Bässen und zurückhaltenden Stimmen, parfümiert durch fantasievolle Echos.

Die Parolen navigieren zwischen Nostalgie, Frechheit und Besessenheit. L'univers sonore ist introspektiv und intemporel, dominiert von Empfindungen: Pluie, Cendres, Stille, Sommeil Hanté.

Die Klangeffekte verstärken diese Atmosphäre: Lendenwirbel, laute Widerhall, subtile Modulationen und Gesang. Der Brückenkopf liegt in der Melodie, an einem ruhigen Ort mit fantasievollen Perkussionen und verzerrten Geräuschen, bevor der letzte Refrain in einer Art emotionaler Katharsis wiederbelebt wird.

„Ashes in the Rain“ ist eine Klage und ein Tanz, der im Gedächtnis ertönt. Es berührt die Tristesse der Musik, mit Eleganz und Zurückhaltung.

Ashes in the Rain

So happy you found me here♪

My goal is to create grand original songs with an atmosphere similar to rock or metal, layered with piano and strings.
The main themes of the songs are emotional themes such as love and dreams, as well as natural themes such as the universe, the world, the sky, and the sea.

I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself, although I'm not very good at them. The vocals (Koharu Rikka, a virtual singer) are expressed using Synthesizer V.
Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.

In particular, I love and cherish the structure of the songs, including the piano playing, the powerful and beautiful melodies, and the worldview created by the strings.

Please note that I don’t use Messages. Feel free to leave a comment instead.

I hope my original songs reach your heart.
Thank you for listening.

Ich Texte gern und da ich nicht singen kann muss das die KI übernehmen

🌑✨ About this channel ✨🌑
Welcome to my little corner of sound and shadow.
Here you’ll find music that is sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always a little unexpected.
I create worlds made of echoes, whispers, and tribal drums. Sometimes the songs breathe like ancient rituals, sometimes they laugh like mischievous spirits. 🎶
I’m not here to be perfect – I’m here to be real, strange, magical, and a little bit wild. If you like what you hear and see, stay and wander with me. If not, that’s okay – just drift onward through the endless digital night.
This channel is a space for the fearless, the dreamers, and the ones who don’t mind a little madness in their music. 🌌🔥


Hi :-D
As I usually do, I'm using Google's translation so my English gets better than if I were to write myself.
I now have several pages on facebook and youtube, the idea is to see if I can post even on instagram. What I share on the pages is my music but certainly there may be some posts or two :-)
The music I'm doing is in a music program called Magix Music Maker. Please comment on this, I appreciate it very much. Or be my follower on youtube or on my facebook.
Have it so wonderful and let yourself live with joy and humor.
Sincerely
Marléne
