I'm liking this more and more.

And then I added my vocals.

At which point I stopped liking it as much.

Daily 044

When you've been feeling uninspired for years, so you write a basic as heck 4 chord song for shits and giggles.

Basic uninspired pop rock thing

Suitably basic.

It's so hard to get snares to sound good. I suck

Daily 18 fully written out

Working on a song. No real guitars or bass yet.

Spent the whole evening working on it. Levels are different once it leaves the DAW, for some reason. Will balance levels with fresh ears later.

Luna (orchestra + MIDI Bass)

In playing this, I realised I actually suck at rhythm guitar playing - the one thing I thought I was decent at. 

The guitars have been cut and moved around pretty much everywhere. I am a cheater.

Gotta add a solo, too. Wah

Also it clips by .5db at some point, but it's 1am and I can't be bothered to fix it

Luna (guitars + bass, no solo guitar yet)

An attempt at doing something orchestral again. 

Also metal, because heck yea

Anna (Idea for Creative Research Project maybe)

I was stuck on that beginning riff for days.
Today, I thought "there's no way I can follow up on that", so I made this crap instead.

I'll finish it one day. Maybe.

Generic Metal That Didn't Turn Out So Generic?

Continuation of something I've been working on for months. 

Vocals suck and I could have asked a real singer to perform it, but I want to be the one who performs it in the end because I want to maintain a certain emotional connection to the song. 

After I finish university, I will take vocal lessons. This song won't be finished for many years to come, but I'm putting it here for my uni assignment. Woo

***Part One: Sunrise and Sundown***

Hello, how are you
Today, how do you feel
It's okay not knowing the answer
It's okay not knowing the right words
It's okay not knowing

Hear my words, it's all you need to learn
To believe in yourself
Here I stand beside you in the cold and darkness
I will follow you

I see shadows encroaching, reaching inside
Your beautiful mindscape, unsafe with no escape
It's hard to fight it when they speak with your own voice

Calling...
From within...
All in vain...
All the same...

Falling...
Losing...
Feel the pain...
Go insane...

***Part Two: Demons***

So you've come inside, but don't be surprised by what you find
Welcome to this broken mind
I'm very much alive, and there's nothing you can revive
For I, the demon, own this very life

I own this life
I own this body
I own everything
She owns nothing


There cannot be any light without darkness
A state of duality, coexists the shadows in the abyss
That which is untouchable, where the light shall never reach
Your good intentions only serve to highlight the dark inside

Where does she go without a constant guide?
There is only one place; confined to the shackles of her mind

I cannot be denied, I exist in all
I cannot be defied, nor banished or ignored

What does she do without your reassurance?
There is only one way; succumb to the pain, become numb to the blade

(Give me more! Give me more!)
Turn away and face the day
Friends and family are here to stay
With our collective love you will be saved

(Feed me more! Feed me more!)
Shun the voices and walk away
The initial step is all it takes
With the progress you've made, no doubt that you'll be saved
See the light of day

Believe in yourself
We are proud of all your progress
I wonder how far you'll go
Let us fill your heart and soul with love

***Part Three: Duality***

I hear your words, it's all I've needed to learn
To believe in myself
Here you stand beside me in the cold and darkness
I will follow you

But shadows encroaching, reaching inside
My inner mindscape, unsafe with no escape
It's hard to fight it when they speak with my own voice

***Part Four: Jealousy and Hypocrisy***

Do you remember how you promised yourself?
Never again would you bare your soul to another person
It would only disappoint and leave you feeling stupid and broken
But you didn't listen; you're stupid and broken

Now you see that your efforts have been futile
There's no way to deny it this time
It only took a few weeks of separation
For someone else to capitalize on your absence

Why be surprised by the shaking of your hands?
The pain in your heart, the fucking pain in your brain
It's not a physical anomaly you have
It's a mental aberration, one that makes you worthless and redundant

Take this ugly jealousy to your grave
It's in your best interest to never repeat this mistake
Wait, hang on, I'll do you one better
I'll bury my feelings so they'll never see the light of day
