Hey everyone,
it's been quite a while since I last posted a song of my own. I've been seperated from all my beloved recording equipment for about 2 months, and just got my hands back on it 3 days ago... No need to mention I immediately went to work and practically spent the last 48 hours locked inside my
studio bedroom and came up with this. I actually wanted to work on a different song, but then creativity struck... you know how it is
http://soundcloud.com/michael-tkt/lullabyThis is very much a work in progress. All tracks are just quick & dirty recordings and I'm very uncertain about the instrumental middle 8 bit (2:00-2:20, add vocals or not?). The mix is a mess too, I hope it gets the idea across though.
The song is written from the point of view of a small child and his/her fear of the dark. I'm not sure if I managed to set the proper mood for the topic musically, especially concerning the chorus melody...
I'd appreciate any tips and critique on the lyrics (not the song's strongest point), arrangement, melody and any other ideas you might have that could help.
Thanks a lot for listening
Michael
Lullaby"Don't be afraid of the night", they said
Outside the window the rain is pouring down
It's getting darker every minute
"Don't be afraid of the storm", they said
Shadows flickering in and out of sight
No time too sleep for all
My darkest thoughts creep back to me at night
My darkest thoughts creep back to me at night
Heavy drops on the window pane
Electric sparks illuminate the sky
"Just close your eyes and try to sleep now!"
All these celestial fireworks
Render my fears in dreams all black and white
I must wake up for all
My darkest throughts creep back to me at night
My darkest thoughts creep back to me at night
Wait for the light of day...
Wait for the light of day...
My darkest thoughts creep back to me at night
My darkest thoughts creep back to me at night
My darkest thoughts creep back to me at night
