Warm and lush. I love sound design

Have you ever heard about the temple of wisdom? Legend says it's deep within the mountains, hidden at plain sight. Travelers sometimes reach the temple, but none are ever seen again.

(whoops, guess who accidentally fixated on those stairs in the first picture)

lyrics:

starting at square one

i swear i'll take the stairs this time

for once in my life

i've never felt the sun

brush me at such heights before

i think it could be fun

staring at the summit

feeling my stomach plummet

i want to, but i can't give up

one step and one step more, see?

at least i've got you with me

i guess i'll see you at the top

from your ivory tower

you glare your hate

illusions of power

depraved estate

youve lost touch

youve lost touch

Short but sweet.

I'm finally in a position to start doing these again!

Trying to integrate some future funk stylings :)

This track is mainly heavy string/choir based stuff, mixed with live drums. Or at least, live with what i've got. It's more or less meant to sound epic basically.

The track takes one idea, and tries to run with it, whilst still giving new sections, as a breath of fresh air. All in all i hope you like it!

erm

Ab - ove

The waves

They watch

From the tower

In sun

In rain

The lights

Show their power

[Verse]

Every day I can watch the sun set

But the vision of it fills me with such regret

Over yonder a dream unfulfilled

Have no heir to continue my line, there is nil

[Bridge]

No descendants, no family left

The end of my family, hope is bereft

[Verse]

So serene, all the scenery stands

But to think that a mortal is trapped to his past

When I'm gone, who'll remember my name?

Cuz whatever I do, the result is the same

[Bridge]

There it lies, the end of a path

Alone in a tower, it all will just pass

[Middle-eight]

Through the clouds and the flying birds

A life not lived, a choice not made

As the sun smiles upon the scene

My frown won't cease, I find no peace

[Verse]

In the end, was no fault but my own

Is it really too late? Am I really too grown

Is there time to turn it around?

Could I change up my course? Should I go out to town?

[Bridge]

I have much to do, and so much to see

I must leave this lonesome balcony
