First time composing with a time limit. The thing is sloppy as spaghetti, but I kinda like the last couple minutes of it. Hope it doesn't hurt your ears too much.

it's been so many years

since i have seen your face and

you're putting all my fears to rest

 

it's been so quiet here

out on the outer edge

yes i've been lonely, i confess

 

abandoned and alone

out in the frigid wastelands

your presence is a welcome guest

 

it's been so many years

do you remember me?  

now i must put you to the test

 

and if it's really you, you'd know

the pain you caused, when you  

marooned me  

left to die :) in outer space :) alone :) :) :)

The cold world revolves past the shadow cast on it for so long and once again visits the sun.

Excavating these comet-trail ice-water minefields

Carry life-giving prize-winning crime deals

By the carrier load

Sweet crystalline dreams

Cut and run when deputized come to wrest the ice floes

From desperate sky-folk

Just looking for a way mine hope turn high-float rock to liquid hope

Legends tell of a time before our skies closed

Putting death and fire in our hydro

When the rain turned violent we ran past the sky to find Crystalline

Now floating in the void we hide from the agency that laid claim to the trails and space we see.

We're renegades at sea, just looking for a bounty and the Crystalline

Space is a cold mistress. Space is a cold master. Space is everything out there, and you are nothing. Out there, where we're going, even heat admits defeat at the hands of emptiness, and only the coldness of the void remains.

We'll be coming close to a star, which should bring us some warmth, if only briefly.

whoa this one .. evolved

Eternally frozen in the drifting void

[verse]

As the powder falls, wonder clings to all

Up against a wall, a giant force field you see though

It contains the air, so we can live out there

Housing all the colonies, remote from our homeworld

We can roll up snow, toss it down the road

Go to shape a snowman, glowing under the starlight

Having all the joy, careful to avoid

Getting lost, among the darkness and in the bright white

[chorus]

The snowflakes and the starbursts

they mix together and make quite a sight

We walk along the path in awe of the splendor

A cosmic thing to behold

The snowflakes and the starbursts

are interchangable every night

We walk along the path in awe of the splendor

A cosmic thing to behold this time

[verse]

Hear the crunching sound, coming from the ground

When you walk around, it flattens under your footsteps

Then you stop and think, what's the difference

From the cold in here, and coldness out in the vacuum?

looks like AN ICE PARTY WOOOOOO

This is only the intro I was drawing inspiration from Metroid Prime's Magmoor Caverns but with more ethereal spacey sounds (there was going to be more icey sounds, but I didn't get to it in time).

this turned out ehhhhhhhhh but w/e it happens.

the initial idea was to make something similar to the mass effect galaxy theme, but with a complex time signature to highlight how space is cold and inhospitable buuuuut it didn't work out.  Complex time signatures don't lend themselves to short time constraints. :^)

So here's a weird-ass space synth accompanied by moar space synths

Mainly drew from source one (The space picture.) Tried to capture the cold, drifting shards and the intensity of the big ol planet. Got way too caught up on making arpeggios, haha.

THIS THEME IS SOOOO PRETTY..

Man is this a good theme, the best theme ever in my opinion!

I went full on ambient..with grooves, and synths. Please enjoy it, i had soo much fun
