All the composing and recordings for the song made LostLaura @lostlauramusic92

I made only mixing. I change these time also the arragement of the song - I mean some parts I cut and move, some small parts mute... so you can write in the comments, which version is the best.

Here you can listen to originaly by LostLaura mixed version  https://soundcloud.com/kadasieviete/par-tevi-lv-hh

LostLaura - Par Tevi (I made mixing and made also some changes)

"Vientuļnieks" meaning from latvian - solitary man. And all the lyrics are also latvian.
Although the basic idea is not componned by me and I don't write lyrics for the song, but this time I made all the recordings and all the mixing. And also I added some orchestrals, some parts changed. The old version of song you can hear here  https://vlaadirr.bandcamp.com/track/invoke-vientu-nieks-demo

Intro:
Kailie koku zari noliecas pār veco kapu. 
Vējš norauj un atstāj uz tā vēl pēdējo atvadu lapu. 
Kur palicis ir dzīvesprieks šai nolemtības pamestajā...
VIE-TĀĀĀĀĀĀĀĀ?

Verse:
Viss zaļoja un kuploja, un dzīvība bij' katrā lietā.
(whisper part) :
Debess satumst un tumšākas kļūst dienas. 
Vien pelēkās sūnas apsedz sirmā obeliska sienas.
Verse:
Visi miruši, kas kādreiz dzīvību šeit dvesa, 
Ar jaukām atmiņām un mīļu smaidu ziedus nesa....

Bridge: 
Vecs vīrs sāpēs izvagotu seju rūgti smej, 
Par savu izniekoto dzīvi rūgtas asaras tas lej, 
Saujā sveci cieši sažņaudzis, karstie sveķi pāri pirkstiem līst....

Outro (best part, I think) :
Tik vien kā svece gaismu dod un silda viņa plaukstas. 
Sirds rāma, kaisle pierimusi un atmiņas pavisam aukstas. 
Senās kapu kopas lēni klājas baltas, 
Naktis dzestras un drīz tās kļūs pavisam saltas.

Vientulnieks [final]   (alternative only clean vocal version)

Vientulnieks [final]

The piano track originally belongs to Japanese musician Sawano Hiroyki. I just liked it so much, so I practice it a lot.
This time I use the Stainway Grand Piano plugin from Vienna Symphonic Library. And for the reverb I added platinum verb named "Church" from Logic.
Hopefully this time piano sound realistic...

Those are Karaoke and A Capella versions of the song "Senseless Promises".
The song you can find on my Soundcloud page.

Lyrics: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014774417639&fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab
Singing: me

Intro:
Mēs cīnīsimies pas Latviju
Ar pēdējiem spēkiem.
Un Lāčplēsis mūs aizstāvēs
No visiem ienaidniekiem.

Verse:
Astoņus gadsimtus 
Mēs atslēgas turam. Un nav mums pa ceļam 
Zem vergturu dūrēm.
 Ar zobeniem uz mums gāja,
Un no zobeniem krita. Par neatkarību mēs cīnīsimies, Dzīvosim, dejosim, dziedāsim! 
Interlude: Saule vējš un viļņi bargi, 
Mūs' tēvzemes patiesie sargi. Skarbas tautas gāja mums pāri, 
Ar krustiem ar kariem nesabradāja. 
Bridge:
Zeme mums skaista un 
Meži un jūra, 
Bet robežas apkārt 
Žņaudz mūs un stūrē.  
Verse: Pērkons un saule 
Lai palīz mums cīnīties!
Tēvzemi sargāsim 
Un meitenes mīlēsim!

Mēs cīnīsimies pas Latviju
Ar pēdējiem spēkiem.
Un Lāčplēsis mūs aizstāvēs
NO  VISIEM  IENAIDNIEKEIM !!!

Patriotisms (Vocals-only) (A Capella)

Lyrics: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014774417639&fref=pb&hc_location=friends_tab

Rhythm guitars: Michael S.

Lead guitar: my buddy, who wants to stay anonym (he helped me already in "e-v-a" and "Senseless Promises")

But the bass guitar, western guitars and midi violins recorded I myself. All the vocals too. Mixing and mastering was done by me.

Patriotisms [FINAL]

The next couple moths I will work on this project (and also on couple other short soundtracks - but this will be priority). You can hear the second half of the song. There will be vocals and also the song will be much longer.

The bass sounds a little bit weird, because it it is midi. Hopefully I will by me one in 2 months...

Castle demo-30

Need to finish to edit and mix the vocals and also add some nice parallel compressions and effects on drums.

Perpetual Conflict (永遠の葛藤) demo-26

I uploaded the final version before. But some small mistakes I wanted to correct so much... so here is the upgraded version.

This song is made not only by me. Very graet help was from Adrians Mierpilsonis, who made song lyrics. Here is his page www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1…tion=friends_tab
Also most of the rhythm guitars and every solo guitar recorded my buddy, who wanted to stay anonymous. And my buddy borrowed his bass guitar, but this time I recorded it myself (because this time the parts were not so difficult).
I will also upload an instrumental (karaoke) versions and the opposite – a version without background music and only vocals (a capella).

Lyrics:

[Intro]
Ageless question why… is everything so sad?
Considering my life, and all the choices… I have never made.
And do I need sommme---thing? Or maybe everything.
Still going in the same direction, just to know my future was so real

Will I be strong? Will I go on, with you?
My years fade away,   with no senseless promises.
Am I waiting for fortune, waiting for loneliness.
Despite sweet talking, not all is meant to be forever good.

[Verse]
Precision gone so far, it will be better not to think.
Reminding all that’s done, and all that I have not begun, not yet.
Understanding now, why my soul is breaking free.
In kindless way my dream is assassinating me.

[Chorus]
Solvation of my broken dreams,
Essential so, meaningless my hope.
Betraying fate of my success and
I am trying, trying to be satisfied.
Living with all the changes in my heart.

[Interlude]
And forever obsessed
With completing my task…
It means so much to me,
Proceeding endlessly.
Does it really matter?
Can you even change your destiny?
All the misleading connections
That were somehow never meant to be
Progression of my lust
Is granting me with joy
And I will succeed this time
Without fear i'm going to be me

[Outro with an exciting solo]

Senseless Promises [final]

Hey guys. This ist a near protopype - there will come changes and much more instruments (and mixing need to be done, of corse).

I was inspired by an comedy/action manga "Yuru/Zero" by Shimazaki Kazumi. Although it is a mix and something like a parody to other two original stories, but this is right now my favorite one.
The picture is from the chapter 8, where Archer, Rider and Kyoko advance against an enemy together.

Kyouko's Advance - demo 02

... the next days I listened to the vocals more carefully and noticed, that the record quality was not good enougth. So in 2...3 weeks I will record the vocal parts again and upload the upgraded mix.

Lyrics:   Adrians Mierpilsonis and me.
Solo guitars:   my buddy, who want to stay anonymous (I wish, that in 3 years I can play that good)
The picture I took from here https://www.pinterest.de/pin/498984833687353750/
The reason why I put the picture form "Shingeki no Koyjin" ist that before something like 5 years when I was listening to the soundtracks more carefully, I thought "wow! That would be great to make somethink that similar some day". And, to be honest, the soundtrack is very similar to SnK. But for my first complete original orchestral song it is not that bad, I think.

Lyrics: 

I have no regrets my friend though I feel your pain
It’s time for us to part our ways
I have no regrets, I did
My every last choice to think 
You gave me hope and broke it down somehow.

The good times we shared, my friend...
I do remember, when
We were together, so happy.
Why do we feel the pain?

Ethereal dream -  I see it now!
Each and every day I live my way!
I don’t know how make my dream come true
Without giving up on you, my friend.

So with no regrets I say, thank you
For the times we had.

Perpetual Conflict [demo-36]

The solo guitars recirded for me my friend with gorgeous red beard.

And about the idea of the song: I was reeding a short manga and the scene in the end inspired me - regardles, what happaned in the past, she was friendly and even greatful...

The manga is 18+ , so be careful. It was "Futari wa Tomodachi" from Ryoumoto Hatsumi.

Her smile from back then (acoustic OST)

Castle (Vocals-only) (A Capella)

Castle (Instrumental) (Karaoke)

Rhythm guitars recorded by me and some parts by Michael S.

Lead guitar: my buddy, who wants to stay anonym (he helped me already in "e-v-a" and "Senseless Promises")

But the bass guitar, western guitars and midi violins recorded I myself. All the vocals too. Mixing and mastering was done by me.

LYRICS
Many, many years ago
in order to gain certain expierences
some young man came to this town

Besides the desired abilities
Over the years he has gained soulmates as well
And that makes him proud

Soon he has to leave
in order to evolve himself furthermore

The unknown future terrifies him a lot
But - in order to reach the castle of his dreams
He will have to let go...

Let go of all the fears,
Let go of all the friends,
Let go of all the cherished memories...

My purpose accomplished here gratefully for you today
Hopefully the wisdom you left in here will stay with me.
But tomorrow comes, I will leave anyway
Because I feel this is my destiny.

Giving you false hopes is tearing me apart
But I would feel worse if I gave in to my anxiety.

Castle [final]
