Heading south on dusty roads
Headlights glow against the dark
I still hear your voice, I remember your words
Burning bright inside my heart

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the cards I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

Heading south running just in case
Love has faded like an old photograph
Feed your heartbreak to the fireplace
Warm your grief in the candle glow

Not my landscape, not my home
I played the part I was given
The beasts watch me from the shadows
As I avoid their suspicion

Sugar-coated suffering
(wonder what this one will bring?)
Food for the candle wick
(another song for us to sing)
Chords for pain everybody knows
(not my landscape, not my home)
Burn your heartbreak on the family coals
(don't let it show)

A Skyrim Soundtrack Expansion Project.

Taking both elements from Oblivion and Skyrim and trying to combine them into something that fits neatly into Skyrim's already existent soundscape and OST.
I always wanted to do this, and now I believe I have the tools necessary to pull it off - I hope...
This little introductory piece took me (calculating in the time I needed to find good enough melodies in my head without copying everything the existing soundtracks already do, arranging things so they work as intended, building up a new orchestral template I can work off of to create more cohesive pieces within this project, getting all the libraries I required etc.) half a year. 
Not constant work of course, for this iteration I took about 2 months - but there are so many prototypes waiting to be salvaged into something worthwhile that did not become *this*...
It took a lot of thinking and frustration.

And I am still not "perfectly" happy with the result. The mix but most importantly the arrangement and some harmonic structures are very lacking in some places, it isn't as thematically consistent as I wanted it and I feel like I still need a lot of practice with my new libraries to get the best out of them.

But aside from that, I am still very proud of it. I again learned more from this piece and everything it took to get it done than I have in a long time.
So I'd mark it down as a definite success, especially since it opens up the doors to an entire new project that I can sink my teeth into - especially especially because it is about Skyrim. And there are few things that I am as passionate about and emotionally connected to as I am with the fifth entry in the Elder Scrolls Series.

I will vastly improve in the fields of composition, arrangement and thematic consistency on the upcoming tracks, because now I actually have a structure I can build upon instead of no ideas and an empty DAW.
So expect better things to come and forgive me my shortcomings on this first entry in a hopefully long line of pieces to this puzzle.

Please enjoy and give me all the feedback you want, I need every bit of it to improve.

But for now -
a hearty Cheerio,
Cedric

HORIZON - A Skyrim Soundtrack Expansion Project

Mountains in the Sky

HORIZON - Mountains in the Sky

Went away for a few days and stayed at a house in middle of nowhere, there was nothing around but cows, on the side in the house was a little information sheet about the place, the lyrics are loosely based on that.

LYRICS

John Wild was staring at his pile of stones. He piled them together till he had a home.
In the fields full of gagel, where bog myrtle grows.
He'd raise up a family where no one could know. 

And, the cows do not care how you feel.
The cows stand and stare in the fields.
Oooooooo. 

There are herbs on the hillside and fish in the stream, 
There's game to be poaching to make good the lean. 
All the animals crowd as the north-easter blows.
The short days of winter approach from below. 

And the cows stand and stare through your face. 
The cows that belong to this place.
The cows do not care how you feel.
The cows will not move from these fields.
Ooooooo-ah. 

And the hills do not know,
of the valley(s) below. (x2) 

ahhhhhh (x4) 

The cows do not give much away.
The cows in the wind do not sway.
The cows are not ever forlorn.
The cows stay right where they are born.
Oooooooo. 

Oh, to be free,
in the wild valley.
Now, look at me.
With my land, far from sea. 

Oh, look at me.
No stopping me now.
Oh, look at me.
With my field; full of cows. 

And, the hills do not know,
of the valley below. 

John Wild was staring at his pile of stones. He piled them together till he had a home.
In the fields full of gagel, where bog myrtle grows.
He'd raise up his family where no one could know. 

And the cows do not care how you feel.
The cows stand and stare in the fields.
The cows do not show on their face.
What they think of this place.
Ooooooooo.

LYRICS

Phone on the sofa, 
oh you're taking in nothing,
vaguely listening to the scene.
I would kinda love it if you'd give me something, 
something to work with, 
something to grow.
I would kinda like it if you showed some feeling,
or if there's nothing you would let us know. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're here to see what's going wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

The beer bottles pile up by your feet, 
your grieving; isn't aimed above but rather just below.
Any excuse to feel collective meaning, 
just laying back to enjoy the show. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're oh so worried what's gone wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

We're heading out to see the queen.
We're here to see what's going wrong.
We're all relaxed and so serene.
We're heading out to see the queen. 

Your eyes barely flicker as you light up your cigarette,
take a drag and survey the scene.
I was kinda hoping that you'd be my princess.
kinda hoping that you'd be my queen.

Tribute to my music heroes Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails

(A song that means alot to me, pretty terrifying, reflects my doubts of faith, in a strange way reinforcing it at times)

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?
