idk why i chose nylon guitar for spooky skellington week but it's too late to go back now

Lyrics courtesy of chat gpt

I'm so sorry

lol

I was a skeleton, back from the grave

With a hunger for life and a newfound craving to be brave

I wanted to make some friends, and try some new things

But my bony body, caused a lot of screams

I'm a skeleton, trying to fit in

I'm a skeleton, trying to win

I'm a skeleton, trying to have fun

I'm a skeleton, but I'm not done

I went to the grocery store, to buy some food to eat

But the clerks they ran away, cause they couldn't take the heat

I tried to grab some chips, but they just crumbled in my hand

I couldn't eat a thing, for I was just a bony man

I tried to make some friends, but they all ran away

They were scared of my bones, and my bony face

I tried to hug them tight, but I just fell apart

It's so hard, I'm just trying to make a new start

One thousand souls behind us

Each a page in a book long written

What do the words say?

All these stories are forgotten

One thousand souls no longer

An  age in a time that’s past us

Each life is a day

In a time that’s left behind  

Ages forgotten to the times

Imagine all the truth and lies

Crumbled to dust

Each thought was once alive

A book for every story past

A life for every soul that lived

Brought us to here

The things we hold dear

Each thought was once alive.

Taken from the dirt

Created in the Image

Creator had to assert

This be a holy lineage

But that sly serpant

Disguised from that angel

Imparted sin rampant

Death soon broke its cull

Dust to dust

Death was born here

Dust to dust

You will die

Fall into the ground

Worms 

eat 

your

flesh

The first one was great, but a part of me wanted to try something in the vicinity of experimental/ambient music. So i spent around 20-30 minutes doing something with some samples and synths i had. I like the results. This might turn into something one day.

You found your own body, from a previous adventure, of course. The loot has long been looted, and nothing but your bones remain. You have only faint memories of that life, as it has been lived so long ago. Rest well, my previous self. You deserve it.

I did a metal song for an old compo, that i felt was perfect for this theme. I wasn't planning on metal, but since we seem to love Halloween more than Christmas, this is the result. I didn't upload an old project, i actually reworked the metal track into a little more. I added a new section, some drum tweaks among other things. I couldn't get further than 4 minutes, without it sounding like it's super repetitive. It's not the best metal track, because i'm sadly not that good at metal, but it was something different. The best i could do with the tools i have. Enjoy!

Still not great at orchestral, but this was fun.

[verse]

Here they lie, remains that once held life

A past exploring all there is to be and not to be

Having the means to begin a prosperous afterlife

Leaving behind those worldly hopes and dreams

Flesh is gone, the tomb was long forgotten

Who beheld the place was surely taken back a lot

Those who considered the man important made the hole

Deeper to let his soul retire at last

[chorus]

Shambling and morbid, the crypt is held in place

Nothing but bones, not a vessel on his face

Left by his lonesome, the raiders bustle in

Creepers would search out his mausoleum then

[verse]

After hours, the team would hop the fence

and try to pry right in to scavenge all they dare to take

But soon, the group only finds the effort done and dry

Empty, but for the clean-picked bones around
