I forgot about the acoustic version I recorded of Constellation. I figure I may as well upload it here. (Oh, and the artwork I'm using is basically just a placeholder.)

LYRICS: You stare out. Your face is as soft as the moon, watching waves receding away from the shore. So rest now, if nothing makes sense anymore. Worry not. A new moon is enough to light my way. Fragments of you pattern the sky. Pinpoint lights, are they true? Move the stars with one motion of chrysolite eyes. Heaven waits for you to answer. So go, I'll find you soon. Fragments of you pattern the sky. Pinpoint lights, are they true?

Constellation (Acoustic Version)

A rough draft of a demo for a song I wrote recently. I posted this to Audiomack under a private link, and I figure I may as well post it here, since it'll be a little while before I get around to finishing the demo. Once I do I'll replace this track with it. I lost the other image, so this one's a sort of placeholder.

Title and lyrics inspired by conversations with an online international friend.

LYRICS: The wind carried her voice to me. It's too wonderful to be less than a miracle. What can I say? Between us is half a world of difference, but we're not so far apart after all. It's a miracle, what can I say? The letter was sent in red. The seal was yellow. I hope it breaks soon to reveal you. It was fragile in my hands, like a fracture waiting for a wrong breath. That's how it sometimes feels, what can I say? A timidness in me wanted to tear me away. I overthink it all, overthink it all. What do I say? The letter was sent in red. The seal was yellow. I hope it breaks soon to release you. Eagerly I await her response. As she wakes, night begins and ends at once. I dream of the day I can meet you. (The letter was sent in red.) It's enough for me [now] to talk. (The seal was yellowed, and) I dream of the day I can see the places you love. (I hope it breaks soon) It's enough for me [now] to dream and wait. (To release you.) Eagerly I await her response. As she wakes, night begins and ends at once.

Embracing Zero Gravity

Nanjing, the City of Dreams (Rough Draft)

A song about my friendship with an online international friend, now with extended instrumentals, partially redone vocals, and bass.

LYRICS: The wind carried her voice to me. It's too wonderful to be less than a miracle. What can I say? Between us is half a world of difference, but we're not so far apart after all. It's a miracle, what can I say? The letter was sent in red. The seal was yellow. I hope it breaks soon to reveal you. It was fragile in my hands, like a fracture waiting for a wrong breath. That's how it sometimes feels, what can I say? A timidness in me wanted to tear me away. I overthink it all, overthink it all. What do I say? The letter was sent in red. The seal was yellow. I hope it breaks soon to release you. Eagerly I await her response. As she wakes, night begins and ends at once. I dream of the day I can meet you. It's enough for me now to talk. I dream of the day I can see the places you love. It's enough for me now to dream and wait. Eagerly I await her response. As she wakes, night begins and ends at once.

"Nanjing, the City of Dreams" (Demo 2G)

An instrumental track originally off of Backwards Progress, an album I recorded in May of 2023 when I was just learning how to record, before I knew how to set & use tempo, or that the warning about clipping was something I needed to worry about... so yeah, Backwards Progress isn't really very enjoyable to listen to. However, some of the songs are well worth reviving. This is one of three I'm planning on bringing back.

Giving Up The Fight Too Early (New)

I made some small revisions recently to this song and "Constellation". The vocals were rerecorded and the lead guitar was removed to better fit my band.

LYRICS: The wind carried her voice to me. It's too wonderful to be less than a miracle. What can I say? Between us is half a world of difference, but we're not so far apart after all. It's a miracle, what can I say? The letter was sent in red. The seal was yellow. I hope it breaks soon to reveal you. It was fragile in my hands, like a fracture waiting for a wrong breath.

Nanjing, the City of Her Dreams

Updated lyrics: The lightning on her lips could strike her heart and take her down. O falling star, don't climb too far. She's working hard enough to bury her hope in the ground. It's radiance, I said, convinced. But now I'm not so sure if I know anything anymore. Fragments of you pattern the sky. Pinpoint lights, are they true? I see the man I was reflected in the shade she is. O falling star, don't reach too far. The lightning on her lips could reach her heart and take her down. Is it radiance? I'm not convinced. And so I watch the sky for signs of light. Fragments of you pattern the sky. Pinpoint lights, are they true?

Constellation

Hey! I'm Dustin from Florida. I like rock music, and can appreciate any good music, but I don't listen to anything explicit. Sometimes I record demo tracks and post them here. Leave some feedback, if ya don't mind! I'm always glad to see my stuff getting heard.
