ORIGINAL TRACK THAT I TOOK ALL INSPIRATION FROM AND COPIED QUITE HARD FOUND HERE : https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/FaK4UMFsIi/

I was listening to a rather long compilation of atmospheric desert-y music coupled with some ambient sounds on YouTube to get myself more into a game I was playing at the time and came across "Indulgence" by Alex Slayne.
The piece instantly enchanted me and did not let me go for a good while, cause it's use of space and atmosphere + this laughably simple (<-- don't get me wrong, that's not a critique!) but so goddamn powerful melody / progression works SO bloody well.
But it didn't do all that I wanted - while it had this unbelievably good and dense atmosphere, it did lack drama. 
Now, that is in no way a bad thing because the intent behind that track was certainly not a build-up to a grand finale but rather the slow and meditative weaving of a certain feeling and setting that so happens to resonate with me heavily. 
But I still felt I could add to it, use it's core and build something more complex, ultimately shifting it into my neck of the woods. If that is good or bad, I don't know and after contemplating it for a long time - I don't care.
I went to work, switched up the movement of the chord prog and did what I do.
In the progress, I did loose this very specific feeling of the original, and while that's a bloody shame - well, the original still exists and does what it wants to do better than I ever could. So I tried to do what I wanted to do better than IT could.

And now I'm giving up.

Ok, it's actually not that drastic. Truth is, I can't think about it anymore. It drives me insane cause I can't find a convincing transition into the epic drama drama stuff that I wanted to do with it. That has to do with multiple things, but the main one is probably that I'm really struggling to get anything done creatively, as my energy levels regarding music creation have been close to nothing lately.
Yay.
But now, I am doing the only sensible thing - letting it go. For the moment at least.
Should I find it in me to finish my work on it, I will. But I cannot let my stubbornness stand in my way of creating more music, especially when I got a (at least in my mind) promising new entry into my Skyrim Soundtrack Project that I desperately want to do. I need my love for making music back, and that will hopefully do the trick.

I am happy enough with this result as-is, so I am releasing it as a WIP to cut myself loose from it - otherwise, it will keep nagging me until I quit making music for the foreseeable future, and that's not an option.

So. I don't think anybody but maybe two or three people will ever read this, but I am writing my thoughts on it down now so I can move on better. See it as a means of self-manipulation for the better of.. well, me :P

Ok, I'm done now. Enjoy this little excursion and do look forward to the next piece in Horizon, it'll be a good one I promise.

Cheerio,
Cedric

Walk Away As Fast As One

Drinking By The Sea

Live version of "Rainbow" recorded at the Loreto Club, Greenock, Scotland, one or two summers ago.....and it was raining : ) 

Rainbow (Live)

An old song of mine about lost love which I have re-arranged and re-recorded as a ballad. The previous version was too uptempo for the lyrics and didn't fit in with the overall feel that it needed to work as it should.
I like it,
I hope you do too.

Lyrics

Hook

I've been going through a lotta changes
(Yahhh)
Niggas saying that ain't got make it 
(Yahhh)
But I know that Growth needs a lotta patience and I know that jealousy is hella fucking dangerous x2

I've been going through a lotta changes
(Yahhh)
Niggas saying that ain't got make it 
(Yahhh)
But I know that Growth needs a lotta patience and I know that jealousy is hella fucking dangerous x2

Bridge (His Voice)

From start to elevation ain't going down jus like a star in the dark imma get my crown
Switch your light up in a moment even if feels like you ain't goin' nowhere 
Ahh switch your light up in a moment even though I feel like going nowhere

Verse(UN!CQ)

Ahh switch your up light for the moment even though I feel like going nowhere
They be hatin' coz they know I'm blowing I put that on my momma coz she knows I'm growing
I get stronger with the pain yet my heart feels frail but I know I gotta gain ain't no pain no gain
That's how the dice rolls ain't no shame in my game coz we when we grow things will never be the same


GROWTH
