A lullaby for two daughters, I guess.

Hush, hush now my darlings
Sleep, sleep now and dream,
Hear the songs of the starlings
You are much stronger than you seem

But just curl up tight with your sister
You'll be warm and safe all night
I'll protect you in the darkness
I'll protect you in the light

And in all this land, equestria
You're the ones I hold most dear
So my dears, don't frown
And just snuggle down
Sleeping soft and sound
Nothing to fear
Mothers here.

Hush, Sleep

10 minutes man. Written and recorded in 10 minutes!!
THATS NOT LONG ENOUGH

Lyrics;
Oooo
Oooo

Stillness in the air
Dissolves away your cares

Dappled sunlight through the trees
The road will take you where you please

Ooooo
So calm
Ooooo
So calm

Calmcalm

I thought I'd maybe do a little bit less upbeat version of a song that I liked the lyrics to.

Gypsy  Pianist

I arranged this as a four part recorder piece using musescore, and decided it would be fun to change the sounds to 'musicbox' and upload the midi to soundcloud, so I can use it as a cute reference when trying to teach them!

My Very Best Friends

Haunting, yet still regal. Almost ghostly, the musicbox transports her away to another time...

This song made it into the Ponies at Dawn "Moonlight Vapours" Album! http://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/moonlight-vapours

Lets Have Fun

Wrote this just after getting out of hospital.

Lyrics;

Sugar tears down my face
Sugar tears cant erase
What is here, In this place
All my memories will trace

Sugar tears falling slow
Sugar tears as I show
All the fears that I know
Sugar tears they do flow

Coz' you are so sweet to me
And I just, I just can't believe
That you'd stay around to try
Hold me, look me in the eyes
Sugar tears
But I'm
Alive.

I'm alive.
Sugar tears.

Sugar Tears

Lyrics:

CHORUS:
Hold onto your someday
like it feeds you,
like you need it to survive.
I reckon you're dreaming-
I dont need you
and I've got to have my life.
You know that I want you
But you're too far away
Across oceans in my mind
So goodbye I'm gone for now
Melting into the spring.

You didn't do anything.

V1. STing me
remind me while I'm still here
Strip me down
And take away all my fear
Build me
Struggling day after day
Reject me
They won't me play

CHORUS

V2. Calm me
Just for once hold me tight
Scare me
Reveal how its not alright
Sometimes you're not dreaming
when you say that you'll be there
But maybe its demeaning
Being in love with the air

CHORUS

You didn't do anything...

(and that is that xD)

Someday

Its so swingin' in the jungle, baby.

Screw those bongos though.

DaringDo Swingin' in D

I FINALLY FINISHED IT OMG
The guitar solos at the end were killin' me, bro.

In any case, this is the theme song for RWBY season 2 
"Time to Say Goodbye", the full song.
IN GAMEBOY MUSIC!

Time To Say Goodbye (RWBY)

I wrote this in my second last year of highschool, while walking home from school into a thunderstorm, half-remembering kermit the frogs song 'why are there so many songs about rainbows...'
It is kinda about someone very special to me. They always seemed upbeat, even when things went to shit.

Lyrics:
If it rains in the night, will you still see a rainbow?
Hold your pillow tight, and stare at the glass.
As the moon's in the sky, you think and you don't know
If you'll be alright, I know you won't ask.

So, I'll tell you (I'll tell you). 
The water runs over the pane (the water runs over the pane).
Yeah, you'll see through (you'll see through).
You'll see your rainbows again.

Because...

Even the tiniest ray of light 
Reflects off the water and makes your life bright.
It may be night but the light of the moon 
will shine off the droplets,
And you'll see your rainbow soon.

(Na da da da da~)

When you're outside and it feels cold and dreary
They say that they've lied and it changes your world
But you know that you've tried, yet you still get teary.
Just stare out and cry, you poor little girl.

And I'll tell you (I'll tell you).
The water runs over your pain (the water runs over your pain).
Yeah, you'll get through (you'll get through)
You'll see your rainbows again.

Because...

Even the tiniest ray of light 
Reflects off the water and makes your life bright.
It may be night but the light of the moon 
will shine off the droplets,
And you'll see your rainbow soon.

(Na da da da da~)

If it rains (if it rains) if it rains
If it rains in the night, will you still see a rainbow?
The moon's in the sky, as you stare at the glass.

And I'll tell you...

Rainbows

YourEnigma was running a competition, so I've used some midis he gave out, to remix 'I'll Come Running'
Arranged(and added bits, and deleted bits, etc. etc.) in that wonderfully free notation program musescore, with 4 tracks and a drumkit, then put through GXSCC to turn it more gameboyey sounding.

I'll Come Running (YourEnigma 8bit remix)

I did a thing with Exiark for the recent Ponies At Dawn album, and we got in!
Exiark is a whiz at music making and mixing and chopping, and he really did do most of the work- I'm just uploading it on my soundcloud because he doesn't have one, but you can go to his youtube channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGP_td_P74bAS70Cfkx1iSw

Also, if you like this, go download yourself the Ponies At Dawn album, Celestial Planes! 
https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/celestial-planes
And if you don't like it, thats ok too! Download it anyway because its a pay-what-you-want kinda deal, and theres like 42 songs so you're bound to like something!

Anyway, onto the lyrics--

You're burning down my soul
Freezing up my mind
I start to feel the heat
But I am still snowblind

I wither in the cold
Struggle through the flames
I feel the icy chill
Whispering your name

Frostfire

I shudder at your touch
I don't know what to feel
I called your name too much
Now you won't make this deal

You can bring joy to life
And tear it all apart
You're frozen deep inside
I've got a burning heart

These snowflakes
Fall on my face
And evaporate
And that's my fate

I'm breathing fire
To melt the ice
Close to the wire

Frostfire

Please don't say
It's all in vain
The lengths I take
The fears I've slain
I need you
to heal my curse
But when I'm near you it just gets worse

Exiark - Frostfire (feat. Itchigotchi)

Nageki is my favourite, so I did a cover of the song that plays while you talk to him. Slightly more upbeat, and less twirly panning. 
The original is here though, if you do want something more chill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExeY005bXSc

I hang out in the library a lot
Sometimes I feel like I'm fading out
Sometimes I feel like I'm burning out

Idk who did this picture though but its beautiful ;_;

Nageki's theme, Seijaku no Umi cover

I got drunk while having wine from teacups during a teaparty on my loungeroom floor, and found my old lyrics book from highschool.

And proceeded to show my housemates a little ditty I wrote about someone I didn't like very much. c:

My throat should not have been making singing noises, and it was completely dead the next day. GAaaaarghk.

Stop Resisting

Ive got cold fingers

Barbie- What if I shine (Itchigotchi Acapella cover)

You needed cheering up
This song goes around in my head and I think about you

Original song was 
Something I Need 
by One Republic

A terrible midnight cover

I thought this song was absolutely adorable when I heard it in the show, plus, its not often such bitchy villains get meaningful and sweet character development or songs!
Once again, I didn't have any instrument other than my voice so I just used that a bunch of times. I think it gets up to like, a 7 part harmony at the very end? eeeh. Idk. It was a good use of a spare evening!

The Pony I Want To Be (Itchi Acapella Cover)

Ponies at Dawn felt like doing a Christmas album, and I felt like composing something festive, so there you have it!

Its meant to be all twinkly like snowflakes, but warm and homely, full of anticipation about what will happen the next day, familiarity, family and friendship.

If you feel like downloading, feel free to download from the Ponies at Dawn album, Snowfall!
https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/album/snowfall
You can get it for free, but if you pay, I'm donating any funds that would have been allocated to me to the World Wildlife Fund.


Itchigotchi - Crystal Christmas

An acapella cover, based on "A boyband made up of four Joshes" from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend; 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C5fHfG_ptE

Because pop songs, 4 part harmony, and mental health problems are my jam!

A boyband made up of four Joshes - cover

I watched a lovely anime and was meaning to do a cover of this for a while.
It seems fitting, to talk of endings and beginnings and goodbyes.

English lyrics translation:
The arrival, tearing the silence into pieces,
Was a predestined encounter for our sake.
And so, you, with regret showing in your grieving eyes,
You wore your sorrow and bloomed beautifully.

A flower, dissolving into someone's life - 
Hey, you can see it too, can't you?
I'm sure.

To overwrite the accumulated sins,
You've got as many times as you need, from the repeating start line.
Painting a tomorrow different from the past,
Painting hope for just the two of us, there's the start line.
I never say goodbye...
That's how it always is.

Jemma Sweeney's Album

Daisy (kyoukai no kanata ending cover)

Heard this one on a youtube vid the other day, and wanted to see how it sounded with a different timbre of voice. 
Course', I only have my own.
Thanks to someone (?? WHOOPS IDK WHERE I GOT IT) for creating the kareoke instrumental.

I've been told theres something about this recording that is reminiscent of ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response)tracks (they have like, breathing and clicking and consonant sounds turned up a little higher?) and I guess somehow it sounds pleasing to me so here ya go.

Lauren Aquilina- You can be king (Itchi cover)

All was quiet.
Then she walked in.
The piano in the Grunny commonroom became enchanted to play itself.
And so they danced.
It was like a magic spell, trapping them all to step lightly in circles.

Princess's Waltz

Fruits Basket Opening theme, written out in musescore in four parts, then changed to various sounds (because the synth choir sound is so awful!).
Its kinda for future reference later, as the sheet music rhythms are difficult looking, but the actual rhythm when you listen is not so hard. >.<

Fruits Basket Opening Theme

I felt like writing some music today and trying out some different sounds, trying to get better with percussion, or electronic-y type music. ...Not sure if I did but it was fun anyway.
Eh, I can't help it I still put strings in it >w>
So uh, I made a riff on piano, and basically just built a song around it.
Who cares if a keyboardist couldn't/wouldn't want to play that fast!

When I played it out loud somebody nearby called out it reminded them of studio ghibli
"Oooh! Its like anime music!"
"I can see the catbus frolicing over the hills!"
SO I SHALL CALL IT THE SONG OF CATBUS.

Song of Catbus

Mmmmm...
....
It's haunted here.
A girl sits in a large room indoors, looking at the window.
//Some places have ghosts
But, you see,
ghosts are also people//
She tilts her head, sighs and nods
//Sitting and waiting, 
the ghost people
are unable to touch the world around them.//
Shes talking to someone, and this is normal behavior.
//You can't touch friendships either
They linger
Just out of sight//
This way, you can't get broken. Its a safer way to live.
//No pain for a ghost
so its easy to push on//
And on you live

Or do you?

//I can see ghosts.//

I can see you.

//But, you see, the hardest thing about ghosts?
It's getting them to talk.//
So long in the cold makes it difficult to melt words out of your mouth.
//You can't touch a ghost
But physical bonds come with barbed wire anyway//
Maybe I envy them
But the other realm has its setbacks
Its darker. Time is more fluid.
Alone with only their thoughts.
...
Once you've become like this, can you come back?
Are you still everything you once were?
Do ghosts have heartache?
Does each have a realm of its own, or do they meet?
Can ghosts also talk to each other?

The girls begins to walk around the room
Talking animatedly
With herself? With a friend?
Are ghosts alone like this?
She's crying while she talks, but 
the tears run clear over her face
unable to touch the world around them
ghost tears.

Seeing ghosts isn't enough.
Talking to them is harder.

Emotional energy invested in something you can't see
Perhaps its better to remain silent? No.
Restless souls reach out for each other
Or fight, or cause gloom, stir up the unseen worlds
They can't help it
But ghosts make friendships you can't ever lean on
She collapses in the room, sitting back where she began
Its draining her. Unresolved.
Waiting
And on she lives

Or does she?

Mmmm...
Its haunted here...

But who is the ghost?

Derpghost

Sometimes I make music.
For roleplays, fandoms, background music, choir midi tracks for reference, and other random songs. Sometimes instrumentals, or crappy chiptunes, or acoustic with singing...

When I sing its mostly pop, I guess??? I like using keyboard and strings for instrumentals, because Idk how to play that other stuff. Also, making up lyrics is fun, even when they're dumb. Yay!
