sooo what was this for? sounds absolutely beautiful

amazes me how I didn't know about this side of you Mick!  shows the good quality of work you put wherever you be, but still you mostly be that heavy metal guy who likes to wreck havoc ;D

I'm getting some Finding Nemo and Age of Mythology vibes from this.

what happens if this was actually for a sequel to bloodbourne??

this sounds great it has a sort of adventurous theme like exploring a new world... it has a sorta of pirate feel it also has an indie game vibe.. anyway mick your one of my favorite game musicians I loved the doom stuff maybe you can put it on here?

Bygone Days (Joe Hisaishi, Helen Edgeworth, and Daigoro789 Cover)

This is music for the Winter's Solstice. The melody is simple and carol-like, and lends itself to four-part harmony.
It celebrates the time of year when the darkest days are finished, and each day there is a little more sunlight, and the first shoots of spring start to push through the ice. Of course, this is metaphorical. I recently experienced a "cellular" memory of a time in childhood when I decided that I had to be self-sufficient, because there was no one there to turn to.
Unknowingly, this was a hardening of the heart, that resisted the pain, but also restricted my ability to be emotionally responsive and warm. Just like so many men of my culture and generation, I grew into a man who had limitations in his ability to love (symptoms included spending way too long in your own bubble, whether it be making music, sport and fitness, gaming, gambling or numbing in front of the screen). That was the freezing. 
Now in my autumn years, I feel so much light has returned to my heart, and a simple life is increasingly punctuated by spaces of wonderment and gratitude. This is the thawing.

P.S. I attempted this melody a year or so ago under the title "For Too Long Have I Wandered". This iteration represents progress from there, both as a musician and, I hope, a human being.

Mononoke hime (Joe Hisaishi)

Super relax tunes - even suitable for meditation or sleep.
Some blissful songs from Japanese composers - don't be fooled into thinking it's cheap because it's from anime soundtracks - this is some of the finest music you'll hear.
