Unravelled

Now That You’re Gone” is a song written in memory of someone I lost suddenly in a tragic accident.

He was a friend, but also someone who could have been much more. 
We shared moments between friendship and something deeper, but because of my own past wounds and fears, I couldn’t trust him fully. 

Now he’s gone, and all that’s left are regrets, sorrow, and memories.

This song is my way of saying all the words I never had the chance to say, turning grief and pain into music.

Musically, it’s a dark and atmospheric alternative rock ballad with post-metal and shoegaze influences. 

It begins ethereal and fragile, then rises into heavy, cathartic explosions a blend of haunting melancholy and raw intensity, like a cry into the silence.

Now-that-you’re-gone 🌑

Is it desparate conviction, or a last glimpse of mad hope? Will you challenge the gods and shatter the stars?



[Laine's (b)log: Now, for something slightly different! I know my songs in the past year have been mostly post-rock, but if you've been familiar with my older style (and you can check the older songs in my channel), I've done a bit of the sort of cinematic/orchestral stuff before. I took a break from doing that kind of thing since I wanted to focus on guitar for a bit, and so I explored the post-rock guitar stuff for quite awhile. Now that i'm somewhat more confident in my guitar playing, I attempted a bit of a hybrid orchestral/post-rock style with this song, with a sort of sci-fi motiff (maybe influenced a bit by those sci-fi RPGs like xenoblade chronicles). I know it's kind of a different vibe, but hope it worked out!]
