.i'm finding my way
606, get it
glad I got the vibe I got, I was afraid I would stray too far away from the theme
These roots have so much to share.

Recording live instruments is tricky!
The roots of the willow, drowned in mud.
Feathers of a pillow, too many floods.
Trapped inside, continuously growing.
The mud has dried, the wind still blowing.
Oh! Locked beneath, no escape, I see the teeth, and the open gapes.
No! Hear me! Hear my screams! It has me. Endless dreams! How much longer can this be?
Calling willow, endless floods. Ill never know, what I owe. The wet dirt drawing bugs.
The waters, they washed ashore. Their daughters, screaming out the door.
Claiming houses, claiming land. Their busy spouses, and their empty hand.
Quickly pacing, with the buckets. Endless racing, all their screaming, causing ruckus.
focused more on the sea than the tree thing
Warning! This is extremely rhythmical! Groove at your own risk!
I was thinking chopping trees, which in turn made me think of rhythm. No melody, full of extensive rather complex rhythms. Vibe out if you will, but don't expect to sing along to a melody.
It's 2am, and i was in the mood for this. So erenjoy!
Didn't look at the theme used tonight to catch up on some more soundtrack commission work!
This is the main theme for Nameless Protagonist, Age 18:
Our protagonist has been working as a magical girl for 4 years now. Having to fight evildoers every night instead of focusing on homework eventually led to her flunking out of high school with no marketable skills, meaning she's pretty much stuck doing this full time!
In battle, she is able to summon the spirits of her closest friends and family to fight on her behalf. The closer the bond, the tougher an ally they'll make.
Wanted something upbeat, with some spunk, and a strong melody. Seems like it would fit this character well!
HONK
I shall be restrained by rock and dust no more. I shall roam this Earth as a walker. I shall be free.
The World Tree is dead
What you once thought was your home
(is gone) and nowhere to be found
They took your roots from the ground
You stood firmly in your yard
(but alas) they denied you your town
They took your roots from the ground
You thought you were just like everybody else, I suppose
But the truth of the matter is that you stood apart, alone
The authorities were called (just for you)
When the forces abound
They took your roots from the ground
