(oh boy, a compo where i get to explain my songwriting process)

it seems

i know exactly what i'm doing

as i move with purpose through

the song

but i learned if you can

do things confidently

no one will know

if you it wrong

(i meant to do that)

the point to all of this

i'm tryin' to make

is that i've no idea

what is going on

no idea what i'm gonna do

with this song

Maybe this right here... no, this doesn't work. Should I redo the whole thing? Well, this part is good, so maybe I should just fix the parts that might not work. Or maybe leave everything as it is and take another fresh look tomorrow?

Rays of light shining through the storm.

And then like with most of my other tracks, aliens start showing up halfway through.

This turned out kinda weird. Was trying for some big ol' chords with those strings I always use, then slipped in a couple synths I sorta like to capture the electricity of light bulbs, and, well, we got something. Was more looking at the stark lighting of the 2nd image than the water, shoulda added more wet reverb to justify it. And definitely should have tried making the chords all in one track first to better hear it. Eh.

In the morning

you are gone

nothing to look at

but dew

colored droplets

of the morning

On my cold porch

no one to talk to

but dew drops

dew drops

dew drops

reflections

do I see you

Wandering in dark

Lost in our way

Wondring where goes

All the bright days

~

What can we do?

Where do we go

Caught in dark nothing to see

We only pray

Where shall we see?

Whats is there left?

Amidst the dark theres no such path

Cant see today.

~

But then, we see, a light

From ashes, a hope

From the horizon strikes, a ray, our fates!

~

And the light

Tt shines above the darkness

And the days of shadowed moon

The torch of hope, it shines brightly

As we witness a new noon.

I went the Dark Ambient route today, based off the subject matter, the mood and the object in question. It's a rather simple track, based off stretching a lot of samples, and layering them. The goal is to make it as moody and spacious as possible, to reflect the pouring rain. The main sounds come from flickering lights, rain and the sounds of faulty bulbs. It's meant as a background like piece, than a serious listen. Even if it's a simple one, i had a lot of fun, and really like the result. Hope you enjoy!
