I am sailing on a boat
and im here with my husband
we went on an adventure
together
yes i'm sailing on a boat
i was here with my husband
i can't find him now
because he
might have fallen off the boat
i might have pushed him off the boat
he just might not be on the boat
i can't explain what happened
did i kill him with a gun
did i kill him just for fun
dont remember cause my husbands
at the bottom of the ocean
guess i'll just go home alone
cause i'm not with my husband
im starting an adventure
alone because
A rather simple track today, because it's more of the simple genre. I decided to stretch out some intricate chords for quite some time, making this very slow and long developed ambient piece. There is also bells for that melodic factor, a running bass (Playing mostly one note), and the occasional strings and motif's. It's a very relaxing piece, just like it is relaxing on a boat in the sea. Hope you like it!
So teeming with life... brewing with danger... so many mysteries to unfold beneath the surface.
a little boat music
take me out
on the waters
i have watched you disappear
on some hours
i get lonely too
you're one less soul, he's calling for
nothing you'll find here
Slow render boat boi.
Sometimes, in the ocean, the sea is your only friend. And she knows how to keep good company.
Or perhaps more accurately called "Strings and pipes for nautical theme." Tried a bunch of ideas which sort of turned into a whole tale of the journey across the sea. Uncertainty, adventure, tribulation, sorrow, loss, and perhaps more. Let me tell you of the voyage.
Out on the open water
Its full of silence
Not a soul to bother you
But its a two edge sword
No one to help you
At mercy of the malstrom
All is still
it's calm now
The day a clear sky
Face your storm it said good-bye
You stood tall
On a pane of glass
The mirror's edge
At the top of the mast
What happens now?
What happens now?
[Verse]
We sail by the sea, swaying happy as can be
We wander on under sky, the horizon never meeting
Water runs ever more, as we wait for what's in store
Another day we brace ourselves
[Chorus]
An adventure's never knowing how it all will end til it comes
To continue takes the bravest heart of them all
You can ration out your fortitude, but it won't last all the way
and your sail won't stand as strong, or reach quite as tall
[Verse]
The ocean is wide, spans across imagination
If you cast out a net, it will grab a dream or two
But until then, it depends. Ships will happen, cross your path
You're not alone A fleet holds out
(thanks Souperion for the song title! context for those who missed chat: had to re-write my OHC song 30 min in since the self-indulgent bluesy-belty-riffy-rock thing i was working on kept waking up mr. weeks. sorry, t!)
lyrics:
an endless blue
not a blues guitar in sight
some peace and quiet
on any other day i'd choose you
but i'm tired
leave me to my dreams
of blue danubes
and (please) try to
keep it down if you could?
on any other day i'd choose you
on any other day i'd choose you
on any other day i'd choose you
on any other day i'd choose you
this counts I think
