Song challenge brief - create a track with the title
'You Are Now Logged In'
I wanted to write a song that sounded like someone playing an old video game.

Heard It All Before (you are now logged in)

This month's song challenge, issued by Hugo Moroux and Ben Levin, was to make a song titled You are Now Logged In, with that title as the theme. My mind immediate went to the sound the original Playstation makes when you turned it on, so I used that for a bit of inspiration behind my song. For the lyrics, I just wrote some words that I felt fit the atmosphere.

Lyrics

You are now logged in
Everyone is waiting for you
You need not bring your things
You are now logged in
Everything known or unknown
Will become a part of you
You are now logged in
Have faith, for
You will not be lost
Amongst the clouds and stars
You are now logged in
We are now logged in

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Drums like thunder
we pillage and raid 
murder and plunder
nobody escapes! 

the serpent of battle
will swallow us whole
Metal to metal
And lives we stole

[Chorus]
Rip and tear
Guts and blood
Smash and smear
Smoke and soot

Bones and teeth
Scream and fight
Rage and seethe
Slash and smite

[Verse 2]
Shoulder to shoulder
Together we stand  
Foes shall smoulder
Let's conquer the land! 

Wolves and beasts
Run under the moon
Our blades shall feast
On enemies soon

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Countless screams
Echo(es) in the night
Whomever to spare 
Is for you to decide

Axes are swinging 
Splattering skulls
Bowstrings are singing-ing-ing-ing
<error: Null> 

<server connection lost>
<attempting to reconnect>
<error: game files not found>
<downloading…>
<reconnecting>

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Outro]
We have awakened    
The sun shines behind
A dragon's been slain
But no treasure to find

The gods have decided
Our time here ends soon 
Expect no forgiveness
For our souls are doomed

A song challenge track with the prompt simply being the title "You Are Now Logged In". Somewhere along the way, that turned into "Thank You for Logging In" in my head, lol. For me it conjured up an image of a hacker trying to get access to a server(or The Matrix itself) and getting more than they bargained for!

Musically, this turned out to be a disco track with quite a few time signature changes behind the scenes. Still pretty danceable, methinks!

Thank You For Logging In

For the November Hugo Moroux/Ben Levin song challenge.

Lyrics:
V1
Lazy eyes before us
Melting in the sun
Lining up like tourists
It's begun
By the way it won't bother me
Feeding from a hand
In sight but just out of reach
That's the plan

Chorus
And I
Don't wanna hear those words
(One night, we find, we're stuck in a slow burn)
Alive
But dimming at each  turn
(One night, we find, we're stuck in a slow burn)

Cleaning the slate in this
Dream that we're fakin' 
Slip through the wake and be
Free of your patience

V2
Lonely as a child
Hissing like a swan
You held me like a baby
It's all wrong 
By the way it's under me
Getting out of the way
keep me warm and empty
It's been paid

In My Head (Slowed Down)

Main menu theme try for Threnody's Dirge, a game by spaghettiSyntax over on Bluesky, who was so kind to let me help out music wise. 

This was very fun, and just came out of nowhere. Pushed two wrong buttons while staring at the main menu screen and it just clicked. The rest came automatically, and the main piano line was done in 5 minutes. Then it was just texturing, layering, adding small things here and there and letting the simple melodies speak for themselves. Still roughly 7+ hours of work though, haha.
