For months, I've been participating in a weekly songwriting challenge for /r/songaweek.  This is the collection of songs in order from newest to oldest.

Each of these songs was completely written and produced in one week (typically a Wednesday to Wednesday period).

Song a Week Challenge

Chrono Trigger Sewer Level Dubstep Remix

The plans we plan to keep

Another track I made while streaming on twitch. A remix of a track from my favorite game -- Chrono Trigger. This is the Schala Theme with my own personal touch. Hope you all enjoy! Follow me on twitch to see me play games and make music and drink beer!

Chrono Trigger - Schala Theme - Dubstep Remix

WIP remix of the Dragon Warrior "Castle" theme. Made live on twitch.tv/crowboat

Dragon Warrior - Castle Theme Remix

Cover of "Waiting Still" by The Family Crest (@thefamilycrest / https://soundcloud.com/thefamilycrest) from their incredible album, "The War: Act I."  If you like this version - be sure to give them a follow!

I took this in a much darker and more ominous direction than the original while still trying to retain the elements that matter most to me - the lushness and depth of the overall orchestration and feel.

Then in some places I did exactly the opposite and stripped it down to the bare bones.

Waiting Still (The Family Crest Cover)

For /r/songaweek theme of "Fear."

A rock anthem about the moments when you fall down. Defiance in the moment of being beaten.  Triumph regardless of failure.  Choosing to live how you like.

Lyrics:

Shaking
I shake against the force
If the wind blows me down
How will I know if I get up again?

Bracing
I brace against a storm
Send your thunder and your lightning
You'll still see me here fighting

Swallow the pride
Keep fear inside
I'll drown if I have to
I'll live how I want to
Crawl past the line
Weaker with time
I'll drown if I have to
I'll live how I want to

Standing
My knees shake under me
If my legs just give way
I know I can't get up again

Racing
My heart ready to burst
Even when things get blurry
I still know my soul

Swallow the pride
Keep fear inside
I'll drown if I have to
I'll live how I want to
Crawl past the line
Weaker with time
I'll drown if I have to
I'll live how I want to

Live How I Want To

For /r/songaweek theme of "Kids."

Hugely distorted bass and raging guitars in a grunge and metal fusion.  I obviously didn't have a typical childhood.

Lyrics:

On the outside looking in
Can't seem to keep from looking away
Lust after things that I'll never have
A person that I'll never be

Fortunate son - aren't you the treasured one?
But the apple of your eye has turned to stone
The years are building up, we can't ignore them
Become the person that you never dreamed

Nightmares
Awake
My name in vain
Arise
This rage
My soul to take

How could you take such poor care of your creation?
Watch his fear slowly grow into fixation?
We'd count mistakes but we'd be gone before we're done 
And the memories are all still the same

Now the monster in your closet's apathetic
And the devil's in your head - could you forget it?
The paths both back and forward are ablaze
Yet here you are cursing my name

Nightmares
Awake
My name in vain
Arise
This rage
My soul to take

God bless the child
God loves his children

My Name In Vain

Spacey rock song with a variety of wide vocal elements.

Lyrics:

It comes to me in deepest dreams
It feels so real but so far it seems
The light it guides away from fear
The compass point that brought me here

In time I’ll learn to find my wings
Escape the shadows my mind brings
Until the darkness splits in half
And lets the light reveal a path

Sunlight
Creeping through the blinds
Make my eyes go wide
Reveal the secrets I have kept from myself 

Light
Breaking the façade
A frozen path now thawed
Reveal the mystery buried deep within me

I’m going for broke
Though my mind is broken
I’m digging for gold
Though my treasure is stolen
I’m lost on the path
Though I’ve been here before
Still hope is a stowaway
My heart is a stowaway yeah...

Predetermination’s not my thing
I’d rather be the cause of everything
So when I’m upside down
There’s no one but me to blame

I’m going for broke
Though my mind is broken
I’m digging for gold
Though my treasure is stolen
I’m lost on the path
Though I’ve been here before
Still hope is a stowaway
My heart is a stowaway yeah...

In Deepest Dreams

Electro-madness with shades of Depeche Mode and other 80s synth pop and some modern flair.

Lyrics:

When everything feels hopeless
When all things fade to black
Your life's a curtain call
Slowed up to a crawl
And everything is darkness

When colors drain to grey
When hope just floats away
Your heart in overwhelm
Caught under a spell
Now everything is jaded

I'll give you all I can
I'll give you all I have
I don't know all the answers
All I have is faith

Your fire might be out
The winter may be frozen
Your spark against a stone
You're farther from your home
Stay strong, keep on

I know you're tired
I know you're weak
I know you're resigned to defeat
I know your anger
I know your grief
I know you'll overcome the fear
I know your fire
I've seen the flame
I know you'll find it once again
I know your depth
I know your dream
I know there's more here than it seems

Your fire might be out
The winter may be frozen
Your spark against a stone
You're far from home
Stay strong, keep on

Spark Against A Stone

A hypnotic and eerie orchestral rock song building to an epic climax.

For song a week theme of "Patience."

Lyrics:

When he crashed down to earth 
He had a score to settle 
And all of them around us
Refused to let him fly

He couldn't wait for God
So he set out to find him
He couldn't wait for peace
So he set out to find war  

When he shook off the dirt
He hadn't found his mettle
And all of them surround him
Refused to let him fly

He wouldn't wait for God
And when he set out to find him
He didn't see his piece 
So he started up a war

Crashed Down To Earth

RoeShamBeaux- Away From Love

There is plenty to consume
a toxic pond with floral blooms
but long as I can see the sun
I can get along with anyone

my temper makes scary friend
I’d rather get the best of him
but if I’m waiting for him to turn his back
I’m wasting time that I don’t have

an insect, dismembered
appendage by appendage 
how long did you think
I would make it
stumbling around on no legs?

toss and turn about it
or just go without it
but if you want solace
I wouldn’t think about it

I think that I’m getting wise
feels like I’m gonna die
but now I’m telling all the kids
fill me in, I don’t get it

never was a hypocrite
the thought of lying makes me sick
but now I’m eating everything I’ve said
dig in, it’s delicious

I only give concessions to the weak-
er parts of me
that refuse to speak, the meek
will inherit the low expectations, I’m sure
of a casually pathetic future

toss and turn about it
or just go without it
but if you want solace
I wouldn’t think about it
and for all your worry
you won’t be rewarded
so if you want solace
just don’t think about it.

GETTING WISE.

Fozzy- JUDAS COVER

The Silence Noise (n) - The moment before the music begins. The hushed moment of anticipation and build up of energy. The project features elements of various types of rock including progressive rock, ethereal rock, industrial, metal, classical, and electronic music.

The story of The Silence Noise seemed like it may have been over 10 years ago.

But the band roared back to life in 2018 in Boston, combining a signature alternative rock sound combining the heavy rock of Muse with the dramatic elements of Depeche Mode and the progressive inspiration of bands like The Dear Hunter and Coheed and Cambria. The project is the brainchild of one multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Ken Course.

Whether it's huge and epic moments featured in "Lost in the Storm," heavier rock like in "From Black to White," or the progressive atmosphere of "My Feet in the Mud," The Silence Noise has something for many different tastes.

The Silence Noise was Founded in 1999 by Ken Course.  The project evolved from using extremely basic elements such as basic Casio synths and tape recorders up through full fledged progressive rock.  The evolution of the sound throughout the years moved from more 80s and goth inspirations such as Depeche Mode, The Cure, and The Smiths to more industrial and rock influences such as Nine Inch Nails and Muse.

The Silence Noise seeks to challenge your musical frontiers with a variety of emotional and sensory palettes.  What will you discover?
