another hearth's
burnt out
and your heart just
can't continue
at the pace its moving now
is it the fear
of pending danger?
or the woods just getting
stranger?
either way
you can't bring yourself to stay
no more living in this state
no more of this day by day
can you feel it coming back
that spot of hope
no more "leaving it to fate"
it's time to take the reins
it's time to go
no matter where we are
no matter where we roam
no matter what when i'm with you
i'll always be at home
i'll follow if you go
boldly into the big unknown
you don't have to do this alone
i'm in a doorway
don't know if i should come in
don't want it your way no
don't know what mood i should be in
practice patience with myself
i'm apprehensive
i haven't been this far before
try to repress it
i've never been so vulnerable
practice patience with myself
and all that im asking
yeah all that i'm asking
is you have some patience too
underestimated
i put my trust into myself
overcompensated
i wanna make you come alive
practice patience with myself
and all that im asking
yeah all that i'm asking
is you have some patience too
and all that im asking
yeah all that i'm asking
is you have some patience too
All woodwinds tonight, just because NickC said so last week. Ceder flute, pan flute, Irish whistle, and bagpipes.
I made just basically pure chill. Beautiful melodies, soft beats and a whole host of smooth groovy fun. I wanted this to be very emotional, to coincide with the excellent images (Which coincidentally i've used before). This one is probably the most beautiful i've done so far, i actually managed to make something fitting. There isn't anything major that sticks out, it's not a detailed track, as it's all in the subtleties. I had a lot of fun on this, hope you enjoy!

Just really wanted to do a song with this progression, honestly. Writing solo lines over it is so fun!
The PWM lead is Sytrus, and I threw in a string stab that pitch-bends down for that classic funk feel. The bass really didn't have the feel that I was originally going for, but I worked with it I guess.
Beautiful theme, Chill Lounge vibes
In a cold winter night, a cozy fire keeps me warm.
My song was trash so I started over and made this in 5 minutes and it's actually alright.
My name is Horace
I'm chillin' in the forest
right here before us
I sleep inside this log that's pourous

Live modular Eurorack + Deluge.
help me see
In the world of the dark
shine the light
and hold it high
in fire we bond
among icy chains
as we shiver in the night
witness the coming storm
let's be free
let's find out war
away from the cold
know the truth and let it go
be a beacon in the cold
[verse]
When the sun falls, all there is to see is fireflies at night
Up against the twilight, something more can go commence a flight
See the magic swirling, can't believe they float and phosphoresce
By the morning, they will have been gone, and we'll want more of this
[chorus]
Lightning bugs and I are made to join the fun
and when we stop and think about it, why deny it?
Catching all the glow and finding all of those
Who sparkle in the dimming evening, can you see it?
[verse]
'Fore we know it, there begins the embers of a brand new day
and the flies respond, they scatter off, and go so far away
So we hope another night will bring them for a nice reprise
But the time just passes slowly, leaving us with memories
