great track. lovely melodies especially in the chorus 🙂

Love the airy sound you captured on this tune - very well recorded :)

Nice harmonies, well done!  Reminds me a bit of REM as someone else wrote.  

My current favorite Soundcloud act, to be honest its rare I find new music I look forward to listening to.

Musical Imprint

Takes a lot of time
More than I can find
Makes a lot of noise
Inside my mind
Wakes a part of me
I didn’t know was there
Breaks apart my dreams
I just lie and stare

Is there a better way?
I can’t find my home
There’s a lot of hate
Should I get my own?
Please don’t leave me now
Your sound, your voice, your tone
Without you I’m alone

This time my art is broken
Torn musings
Left for someone else
Leave not my words unspoken
I’ll save you
But I can’t save myself

Feels like air to me
The kind that I can breathe
Heals a lot of wounds
More than you’d believe
Fills a void in me
The one that’s always there
Kills the apathy
Shows me I can care

LYRICS

First things first, will you stay the night?
'Cause you're all in my head
It's good and it's bad and it's what I like

Painted hands, the lightest of blues
You're coming around, lift my feet off the ground
I think I might like you

Ooooh, you're glittery too

Unicorn dreams are stuck in my head
Of magical things where we play pretend
It's fantasy when I fall asleep
You're in my unicorn dreams on replay in my head with me

Bright wide eyes and the sweetest vibes
I'm playing it cool, but I'm thinking of you
And that enchanted smile

I laugh 'til it hurts, so maybe you're not the worst
You're a mystery, you're so kind I'm dizzy
You're quite the flirt

Unicorn dreams are stuck in my head
Of magical things where we play pretend
It's fantasy when I fall asleep
You're in my unicorn dreams on replay in my head with me

Oooh aaah
One, two, three, and you're in my dreams
With rainbow seas
It's three a.m. and you're sparkling

Unicorn dreams are stuck in my head
Of magical things where we play pretend
It's fantasy when I fall asleep
You're in my unicorn dreams on replay in my head
In my wildest dreams you're a unicorn man to me

For You

This will be a 6 song concept piece detailing the highlights of Vlad III (Vlad the Impaler) life. All songs are based in fact and with no fictional vampire references. This is the true story of the man behind the myth.

Vlad III or (Vlad Tepes) was born in 1431 in Sighisoara as the second of four brothers born into the noble family of Vlad II Dracul. After his father’s induction into the Order of the Dragon, created by Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund for the defense of Christian Europe against the Ottoman Empire, Vlad moved to Târgoviște, Walachia, in 1436 where his father assumed leadership of the Wallachian Voivode. Throughout his younger days, Vlad and his brothers were highly educated and as they grew older were taught how to strategize and fight.

In 1442, the Ottomans called for a diplomatic meeting and invited Vlad Dracul. He saw an opportunity to educate his younger sons in the art of diplomacy so he brought Vlad III and Radu with him. But Dracul and his two sons were captured and held hostage by the Ottoman diplomats instead. The captors told him that he would be released — but he had to leave his sons. Dracul, believing it was the safest option for his family, agreed. Fortunately for Vlad III and his brother, during their time as hostages, the two princes received lessons in science, philosophy, and the art of war.

However, things were far worse back home. A coup orchestrated by local warlords — known as the boyar — overthrew Dracul. In 1447, he was killed in the swamps behind his home while his oldest son was tortured, blinded, and buried alive.

Vlad III was freed soon after his family’s death, and at this time he began to use the name Vlad Dracula, meaning son of the dragon.  His brother Radu swore allegiance to the Ottomans and stayed. Vlad swore vengeance on the ones responsible for his father and brother’s death and began his journey back home to claim the thrown.

Lyrics:
This is our land
My Father Prince of Wallachia
And here, it’s name, family, honor
And we fight to protect
And protect to fight

Let me tell you about my glorious upbringing
You shoulda seen me
Riding those Arabian horses,
Sword in hand at breakneck speeds
Speaking a few languages and a dead one
Science, the art of combat
Magnificent things

Our enemies keep movin' in and movin' in
Around our home

A choice made for a truce, an alliance
With the Ottoman
To keep our rightful throne

Sultan thought we betrayed the alliance
Sultan invited father and us down for a visit
Tricked like a deaf, dumb, blinded beggar
We got to the court
We were all imprisoned
Father set free, me and brother kept as bargains
But my father was in the order of the dragon
To defend against heretics
From Hungary comes the white knight
Who wanted help with the heretics
Father said yes...
Sultan was betrayed again...
For a crusade for Christianity…

Battle lost, men defeated, blood and debris
White Knight tried to salvage the honor left
Do you know what that White Knight did?
He tried to seize Wallachia
Noblemen killed my father, mother and older brother

I’m still captive in the Ottoman Empire
Sometimes in a dungeon, sometimes tortured
From my window
All I see are executions
My brother took lovers, sided with the Sultan
This happened because
the Ottoman can bargain
It’s still about the land
But it’s all about revenge
I am diamond hard
Will let everyone trust me
And let the Ottoman
Keep teaching me, teaching me
Magnificent things
