Songs in the Dark

[Darkwes 36]

Seeing so many talented people around here is a little intimidating for me to post the stuff I do, but after some thought I've decided to do it anyway xD

So, one of my main hobbies is actually composing music. I'm no professional musician, but I've been in a few bands and I did wrote a bunch of songs over the past years, most of them are really terrible though lol

Most of the songs I do, are either rock or metal (that can be classified in various sub genres), but sometimes I make some different stuff. I've also wrote songs for fanfics in the past and a few "for fun" games.

Some of the lyrics I write may make no sense for many people that hear them, that's because I usually write lyrics thinking of some external factor, or I'm trying to tell a story, but it is not rare for the story to not be complete on a single song.


*I don't compose music using sound 'samples', I do it note by note from scratch.
*Also note that english isn't my main language and sometimes I do some mistakes on the lyrics (the same applies to japanese), but I call that creativity freedom... err =s

This song I've wrote about 3 years ago, I was messing with it yesterday trying to remix it to revamp the audio quality that was pretty bad, and somewhat I feel that I made it a little more "audible".

Shadow in the Dark is a little bit different than most of the songs I do, for being more calm and slow, trying to express the feeling of frustration in love. But I actually like it, even if the lyrics have some weird stuff.

*Recommended to be listened with headphones.

This song is 2 years old, and actually I did it for a game I was working back then (not a rpg maker game). It is a lot more aggressive than the one above, but also a lot more dynamic in my opinion.

For Darkness Calls, I challenged myself to write my first japanese song, and it was really nice working on it, since I'm a fan of japanese music, specially j-rock and j-metal and how they blend japanese with other languages (even when it makes no sense lol).

Wow, I didn't know if you also could compose musics

I just listened to "shadow in the dark". Is that lyrics? More like choir in my ears xD

Sorry it that was English since I still not get used to listen to English.

The audio quality isn't that great, but it is supposed to be this lyrics:

 

 

 

Long ago,
Together a promise we made
To keep this secret
Between us

Long ago,
You told me to wait your return
And keep this feeling
Between us

Untouched, unchanged, still alive...
Believing that one day we will be together once more...

Long ago,
We forgot the promise we made
Leaving that secret
Buried alive

Long ago,
You told me you will never return
Leaving that feeling
Buried alive

You lied, broke my heart, made me cry
Leaving me alone trying to follow only your shadow...

In the dark...
I forgot the shine of your eyes
In the dark...
My heart have been torn apart
In the dark...
I tried to follow your steps
In the dark...
But you made me fall apart
Leaving me left behind


Now, to you I am merely another shadow in the dark

I think Shadows in the Dark is my favourite.

I like the vocals.
