This is going to be the last song for this set. I decided... or rather, felt, that this string of songs had reached its natural conclusion. (My plan is to do another album of 7 songs to hit the total 14.)
So I wanted to end on something a tad different!
I conjured up a couple piano segments and set them on an endless loop... then sat there for an hour or so, letting it repeat. Then I had an idea. I wasn't sure I'd like the idea. But it was there. So... I dug out my trumpet.
It should be noted that I haven't played the trumpet for any extended period since 2004. (I've been toying with the idea of picking it back up and muddling through/attempting to make some sort of free jazz/blues/melancholic project...) So why not go ahead and give it a go on this track. And it's not great. Hahah. But it captures the mood, I think.
I wrote another poem to accompany this piece, like some of the others. Except this time I decided it would be fun to ruin the atmosphere of the song by trying to vocalize it. And it should also be noted that I am not a fantastic vocalizer.
Usually I give any song with words and too many recorded parts a day to simmer, without listening to it, then come back and analyze. ... This track did not get that treatment.
Enjoy at your own dismay.
Oh, these horrid eyes
Obscured through an endless lens
Where I see myself greet the end
Oh, these horrid eyes and I
Waiting before the pale door
How much longer
These horrid eyes
They will weep with I
Oh...
Until the waves are many
And the weight is too wild
Until the rains are carried away
In the arms of Death
Oh, my horrid eyes
Oh, horrid eyes
We must let it go...

Dark lyrics suit the dark atmospheric sounds. I liked the trumpet and it captured the mood well.

The trumpet playing really works for this! Adds a lot of character. I like the lyrics a lot :)

This is very atmospheric. Like the way you created it and the trumpet sounds nice and moody. Thanks for posting
