This is one of the first song that I wrote, I completely changed the instruments. The first version is on youtube, but I might delete it soon  https://youtu.be/K7hHI2xk2OA

Lyrics: 

The rain wouldn’t stop from falling  today
Forming small puddles on the sidewalk that caught my reflection  
I saw many of me there scattered on the ground
But all around, there was none of you to be found

So I wrote you this letter Diane

The dirty streets of my hometown seem even gloomier today
And your absence makes me feel 
Even worse than yesterday

I’m drinking too much coffee 
Smoking too many cigarettes 
I’m thinking about you all the time 
Nothing I can do puts my mind to rest
I’ll see you there I’ll find you there In this kingdom by the sea

Diane, you left me hanging there 
Alone and all I’ve got left is my despair 
And a bitter taste in my mouth 
When I see your pictures everywhere
This place feels so cold, it’s no home there 
The warmth was you and now it’s just freezing in hell 
And me, I’m just hanging by a thread 
Cause love is gone and you are gone, Diane

I’ll see you there, 
I'll meet you there 
I’ll find you there 
In this kingdom by the sea

This is a song about Casey. There are many songs about Casey, but they are not all about this Casey. This Casey is a twat... He might be the same Casey as in Kris Kristofferson's song "Casey's last ride", but that still has to be confirmed. Please do not feel sad about Casey.

This one is quite similar to the demo, the main changes are the drums and the intro... and a mix that works

LYRICS:

There’s a story I’d like to share with you tonight
It’s a story about Casey and it’s a story that’s half sad
The half that is sad is Casey, cause Casey is sad
But I have little love for Casey, you should make up your own mind

Casey pushed his beer over the counter
He stood up and rested his hands on the cool copper
Sled a quarter over to the barman
And waved a silent goodbye to nobody

He walked to his old car across the corner, Got inside
and let the smell of worn damp leather take over
His thoughts
And make him forget how his life
Took the wrong turn

Casey is sad
Casey you’re driving
Casey you’re crying
You’re crying

Casey got back home to his tired couch
Dropped his coat on the floor uncapped a warm beer /
on the table And every silence told him
aboute a love that disowned

Buy Casey knows he’s never done nothing wrong
In fact he ’s always been doing the same thing all along
And sometimes yes sometimes
he cared and listened

Poor Casey knows that he’ll die alone on this dirty couch
Between the remnants of empty bottles and pizza boxes
And the fading memories of his normal life
Like old photographs pinned on the wall

Casey you’re crying
Casey you’re crying
You’re crying

Casey is sad
Casey is crying
Casey is sad

Casey Is Sad

What happens when you strip a SUNO chanteuse (kinda Indian) from all her instrumental appendage, and you put her to a totally independently created track (kinda Balearic)? 
Have a listen ...

The 2nd of the Alpha Remasters which started in November 2024.
This for what originally was track #5 in early February of 2023.

Alphas are conceived as just very minimal hesitation-removal fixes where we are splitting and sliding edges and maybe some little little deletions of less than a second in judiciously picked places.

Pretty funny coincidence that my 358th release would be the same number as part of the video game's title.

I gave this a try but I have not really ever tried to match my music to specific video cutscene timing till now.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Xion's Death - Submission for Rafamigo's Reimagining VGM 1 Jam Itch.IO

Have you ever thought about 
Making your dreams come true?
Have you ever wondered
What's stopping you?
 
Is it your fear
Of doing something new?
Is it your convenience 
To leave your comfort zone?

Write down   
What bothers you and avoid it.
Write down what you like and enjoy it 
As long as you can,

Many people do not fight
To free themselves from their limits
A lot of people don't dare 
To move things that get them ahead.
  
Put all your courage together and try.
Take what's rightfully yours.
There's only one life that's too bad
To be spoiled by others.

And if you feel bad, take a sheet of paper 
And a pencil and write down what comforts you again.
Remember your childhood as it was  
When everything was easy and carefree.

Many people do not fight
To free themselves from their limits.
A lot of people don't dare 
To move things that get them ahead.

And who's responsible for things going the way 
You want them to?
And who's responsible for things going the way?
It's only you
Remember your first girlfriend how wonderful it was 
When you first kissed and touched her.
All these beautiful things are gifts of life 

Many people do not fight
To free themselves from their limits.
A lot of people don't dare 
To move things that get them ahead.

It's You

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
