Game of Bands round 220 - Team 7
Music: Ythafar
Lyrics: court-jus
Vocals: moonscanner

Connaissez-vous la douleur
De la perte d'un enfant
Pour n'importe quel parent
La pire déchirure du coeur

Connaissez-vous la couleur
Qui par son courage
Un jour m'évita cette rage
Elle porte le nom d'une fleur...

Pervenche, quelle chance
Tu es là pour moi
Pervenche, quelle chance
Bien plus que pour la loi

Cet enfoiré si mal garé
Ces clous aveuglés
Mon fils tout excité
Prêt à se faire renverser

Tu as jeté là ton carnet
Un réflexe, un bond
Grâce à toi fut sauvé
Mon... garçon...

Pervenche, quelle chance
Tu es là pour moi
Pervenche, quelle chance
Bien plus que pour la loi

Ce bleu... 
qu'ils ne voient que.... 
Sur son dos
Et qui...
Lui valu... 
Ce pseudo... 
Moi, je suis
Béni par les dieux 
Moi, je le... 
Vois dans ses yeux

Pervenche, quelle chance
Tu es là pour moi
Pervenche, quelle chance
Bien plus que pour la loi

Pervenche

Game Of Bands Round 264 - Late Night Team 3

Music - Ythafar
Lyrics - ScottPontiac
Vocals - dcofycats

Lyrics:

Still at night I see
I sit regretfully
Forgiveness starts and ends
The past can't make amends

try to give myself
yearn for joy and wealth
but I did not succeed
May be it's not , what I need

But I will find the strength
To keep friends at arm's length
Settle down, don't get upset
Remembering regret

Remembering regret 
When all is still and dark
Shadows form vignettes
Silhouettes of abstract art

Thoughts expire , begin anew
As the daytime starts to close
Moon is coming into view
Secrets become exposed

Resilient, but I feel beat
Too weak to eat, what's bittersweet
Brilliant stars, they're way too far
and just like me, that's who we are

Strangers with no chance to meet
defeated, incomplete
drink it down, drown my sorrow
I arise anew tomorrow

Should i slip down the hill
Would anyone be there still
Not sure how low i’ll go
It ain’t my first rodeo

But I will get up again 
Honor I will defend
I’m not so innocent
Just another incident

When I unwrap this present 
My cover torn with torment
Reveals my given gifts
The ground feels a seismic shift

I'm getting so much older
Fires dim and fade and smolder
Walk on coals with baby steps
Remembering regret

Remembering regret 
So silent and no light
Deep troubles I beget
Always needing to be right

Family i do not see
And friends I do not call
Forgetting how to breathe 
Untethered free for all

Resilient, but I feel beat
Too weak to eat, what's bittersweet
Brilliant stars, they're way too far
and just like me, that's who we are

Strangers with no chance to meet
defeated, incomplete
drink it down, drown my sorrow
I arise anew tomorrow

------------- Omitted Bridge - Returns at Final Chorus --------
Possibilities endless
But yet I am friendless 
I have no connection
to my late night reflection

Unseeing all my flaws
Makes me move, to take pause
Confronting the feelings
Embracing the healing

So who am I to ask
Am I really up to this task
To rebuild my soul from scratch
Or burn it with a striking match

I lay down upon my hands
face pressed against the best laid plans
unevenly, I level-set
Remembering regret 
-------------
Shadows are forming vignettes 
Remembering regret
Settle down, don't get upset
Remembering regret
Walk on coals with baby steps
Remembering regret
Winning nothing, losing bets
Remembering regret
No numbers to phone a friend
Remembering regret
Deep troubles I beget
Remembering regret
Sleep alone in an unmade bed
Remembering regret
No point talking, nothing said
Remembering regret

Remembering Regret

I'm probably about 25-30% done with this track so far, in terms of writing, I'm aiming to make it rather long, I've still got a bunch of ideas for whats to follow, but also what I want to do to what already exists. The start before the drums come in needs to have a huge feedback swell, and some of the bass doesn't sound as I'd like it to. There's lots of work to do, but I'll get there. 

Also, to explain the name, the songs I write, if I write them directed under an idea I've gone in with, I'll obfuscate the name of the band or piece in the track title, in this case, I very clearly know where I found influence for this track, and I wanted to put a reference there. Bonus points if you can decipher it.

Game Of Bands Round 191, Team 16
Music by me, Lyrics by u/MattLower, Vocals by u/coolCharizard

What day is it?
It’s hard to tell
The life of a tortoise
Contained in this shell
All things considered
It’s going quite well
Could be stir crazy
I try not to dwell

I have the time
To get to know myself
too much time
Can be bad for the health
Lonesomeness 
can be good when it’s felt
too much of anything 
Can become your own hell

It’s been so long
Since I’ve seen you in person
Makes me wonder
If the effort is worth it
I need a reminder
What was the purpose
All these feelings
Bubble up to the surface

Excited to see you
Without the glass in between
It’s just not the same
Touching a screen
Now it’s the new normal
Part of the routine
All of a sudden
It’s not so extreme

Been making new friends
Who I’ll never meet
Hangout on the web
Since we can’t in the street
The closest we’ll be
No more than six feet
At least I can feel
My own heartbeat

Somehow I’m alone
but not all the same
Since we all are
It seems so mundane
It does look bleak
Like it’s all up in flames
But we still must try
To keep ourselves sane

A moment of silence
For the life that once was
Things once took for granted
like Handshakes and hugs
We’ll all keep our distance
It’s still not enough
To stop humanity 
From spreading the love

We’re in it together
No man is an island
Even with your mask
I see your eyes smiling
We might feel alone
But it’s not an asylum
Let’s keep our heads up
And we’ll beat this virus

New Normal

Game Of Bands Round 196, Team 8

Music by Me, Lyrics by Garrett The Cartoonist, Vocals by Partyeefee

Lyrics: 

Outta school, it was cruel, nothing I can do about it 
Pure heck, down my neck, I could do without it 
Homework pile, up a mile, weighing down my arms
Pulsing veins, all the pains, it's causin' me harms

Comin' home, achin' bones, hear my mama's yells
Bossy lady, all the crazy little things she tells
Grab my phone, with a groan, tell my buds my plans
I know a place, know it's ace, where we all can jam!

Roll with me!
We'll head to the park
We'll stay after dark
Embark on adventure

Roll with me! 
Roll all around the pipe
Blast all our tunes all night
Right on to the park we'll venture

Lost my guy, turned an eye, lost me for some bimbo
Name is Claire, fake hair, head always in limbo
Feelin' low, gotta go, gotta  sit and stare
At the wall, wanna bawl, I don't wanna care

All the rain, what a pain, revvin' up my mind
When it's done, boilin' sun, makes me feel unkind
Stay inside, wanna ride on my board of wood
Call 'em up, pick me up, 'boutta feel so good!

Roll with me!
We'll head to the park
We'll stay after dark
Embark on adventure

Roll with me! 
Roll all around the pipe
Blast all our tunes all night
Right on to the park we'll venture

Let's go as fast as we can, ignore the government man
(Who cares what they think?)
If I fall down on my foot, still feelin' all kinds'a good
(I don't care what you think!)
I really do like to skate, it is my only escape
(All I care's what I think)
From this Godawful world, come on let's go for a whirl!


Roll with me!
We'll head to the park
We'll stay after dark
Embark on adventure

Roll with me! 
Roll all around the pipe
Blast all our tunes all night
Right on to the park we'll venture

Roll With Me

This round I worked with:

Lyrics: Garrett The Cartoonist
Vocals Neoncrisis

On round 197 of Game of Bands, Randomly Generated 2.

Lyrics:

(The Conspiracy)

Old documents within the ancient files
Lost information
The regime that spans for years and miles
Hidden corruption

Suppression, oppression, Orwellian terror
That defeated the ancient ones
I need to warn them, get the band together
Unite the ancient Grand Suns

(The Ally)

Oh please, I hope you understand,
That both your parents as well as your grands
Were of the Grand Suns that you’ve spoken of
Of course I will help you out

To let the light of freedom out
And fill our homes with peace and faith and love
The Grandson of the Grand Suns will have the Eyes on the run

And nothing will be the same again
We'll get the Suns together and together we'll forever
Have the freedom to sing out in the rain

(The Disappearances)

Ah! 
What you doin!
Let go of me!
Set me free! 

Ah! 
What you doin! 
Let go of me! 
Set me free! 
Shoved in cars!
Behind bars!

Ah! 
What you doin!
Let go of me! 
Set me free! 
(Rounded up!)
(Lock-ed up!)

Ah! 
What you doin!
Let go of me!
Set me free! 
(Shoved in cars!) 
(Eyes watching us!)

Ah! 
What you doin!
Let go of me!
Set me free! 
Behind bars!
Won't leave us be!

Ah! 
What you doin!
Let go of me!
Set me free! 
Rounded up!
Lock-ed up!

Ah! 
What you doin!
Let go of me!
Set me free! 
Oppressing you!
Oppressing me!

(The Arbiter)

Now I'm the only one, though you are by my side
I'm the arbiter.

I shall head for the ones, I can no longer hide 
As the arbiter

Come with me my friend, we'll make it to the Eyes
Now I'm the arbiter

We'll bring the torment to an end, free the suns, my oh my
I am the arbiter

Arbiter

(The Betrayal)

Haha! 
You'll go nowhere
Son of my old friend

The Eyes are the ones who made me
The Suns will be used
To the government's end

And nothing will come to be
Of your plans, oh your plans

I'll stop you, so-called “one”
Screw your plans, screw your plans

Oh great ones, here they come!

(The Revolution)

ETERNAL YIP EYE
ETERNAL YIP EYE
ETERNAL YIP EYE
ETERNAL YIP EYE

Revolution is now
The word has gotten out
You have failed us! 
YOU'RE EXILED, WE SHOUT

Nothing can stop us
This regime will die
Freedom will reign!
ETERNAL YIP-

(The Peacetime)

Unlock the bars
Open the doors

The Grand Suns are free
And the world forevermore

The arbiter's a hero
The savior of his kin

And the awful state
That the world has got in

We have found peace
In a home now free

The Grand Suns will reign
In freedom eternally

This round was working with:
Platelicker - Vocals
Skerry1 - Lyrics
I did the music, and the theme was The Sea for Game of Bands Round 202. 

Lyrics

We refuse to give into the shore
Like a wave turned away
We keep coming back for more
Her perfume like a summer breeze
Kiss her skin once again
She keeps giving into me

And we know that its wrong
We know we know we know

But we don't need no reasoning
And we don't need a reason out
Were swimming in a raging 
Even though it's calm right now
Soon the white caps will form
Then we'll be back in the storm

It seems we could be something more
But the crashing of passion
Leaves us both broken and sore
So we break away from the tide
Like the moon losing hold
When the sun begins to rise

And we know it won't be long
We know we know we know

But we don't need no reasoning
And we don't need a reason out
Were swimming in a raging 
Even though it's calm right now
Soon the white caps will form
Then we'll be back in the storm

Too salty to breathe
This is why you can't love the sea

Into The Storm

I just thought that I could play a little pentatonic over some lo-fi inspired chords.
