LYRICS

Like a bullet in the shoulder, laid there bleeding out.
Like a waif when you look in the mirror, staring out.
Like your ankle in a bear trap, oh you're screaming out.
Like another deal to wrangle, hopes are fading out. 

Oh this is no surprise to me.
You wake me from my reverie. 

Oh you wake up in the back seat, oh you're fading out.
There's a rope around your wrists, and you lay there fading out. 
Can't remember how you got there, oh your fading out.
Oh it takes a while to figure out, you're fading out. 

Oh this is no surprise to me.
You wake me from my reverie.


Rêverie [with The Fall of Saigon]

Melancholy

This is the first entry to EXCURSIONS - Volume I, my new endeavour to produce as many pieces of music as fast as possible. 
I want to see how much I can do in a (at least for my standards) very short period of time, mainly to increase my overall efficiency when it comes to making music but also to get more experience in the process of actually finishing projects, which I lack.

This one is a simple progression that doesn't evolve much in terms of harmonic content but builds more upon the idea of: emotions first, complexity later. Since I tend to dislike things I make that are too "unoriginal" (as if that ship hasn't already sailed) and discard usable ideas that can easily be turned into something pretty good, I figured this would be the perfect way of trying to break this useless notion of reinventing the bloody wheel every time (not that I do that, but I hold myself to that stupidly impossible standard regardless).
I hope I succeed and I think with this piece I am on a good way towards getting better at that.

Hope you enjoy this little Richter-esque excursion. 
More (probably short) pieces will follow - they might be totally different to this one, they might be similar - I shall take what I can get :)

Cheerio,
Cedric

Ambient(ish) track with a few melodic bits. Relaxing and calm.
