Hard Road Ahead

This track is a collaboration between Jarrod Kailef and myself. Kailef wrote the violin melody and made several decisions in regards to the form, flow and energy of the piece. I contributed to the composition, recording, and production of the track.

"Salty Dog Shanty" by Richard Daskas and Jarrod Kailef

It truly is still left untitled. Yet, I had to name it something to save it. It will find its title one day. Until then.. it remains...




Feeling the tears well up in my eyes
I fight them back, I do not want to cry
This is the hardest thing i will have to do
Wear this mask of smiles as we say goodbye to you

My heart shatters and I just want to hide
racing for the shadows, "safer here" i lied
Facing the people, I worry and dread
This pain in my heart making me wish i was dead

With a brush you stroked the very essence of my soul
Gave me strength to move forward when life dealt such blows
For you helped me awaken the greatness in me
Without your help it may have never been seen.

With colours more vibrant then my personal greys
You helped me learn of a future with brighter days
Now the clouds have rolled over, the sky turned pitch black
I am returned to the shadows, where I can not be attacked.

A feeling of cold darkness enters my soul
Alone once again, can I keep fighting, i do not know.
No one will ever understand the strength I got from  you
Watching you create masterpieces as only you can do

NO one will ever understand what I am trying to say
Why I feel like this for you, you helped show me the way
I soon started to remember what you helped me want from my life
I must seek out the light, it will hurt but it will be alright

Things will move forward, although my heart feels like dying
I will face another day, with an exclamation mark of sighing.


Thank You For Giving Me Hope

Bayous and Underbrush

I tried to make this track both a little atmospheric and "creepy" sounding since it will be played among ruins and such.  However, since it's also a combat song, I worked hard to give it a urgent, aggressive feel as well.  I hope you like it.

Nova

A collection of ambient background music showcasing various scenarios and environments from the vast ocean to outer space.

Jungle Depths

This track was created for Duke Gréagóir's player-owned island town, Duchy of Dara Brae, in Shroud of the Avatar. The town is known for having the only custom Yew Tree in Novia. It  is named after this tree as Dara Brae roughly translates to "tree on the slope of a hill."

The music is Celtic-inspired featuring bagpipes, violins, an Irish penny whistle, and vocals sung by Sharm.
