Rising Out of an Ocean of Ash (just came up with this- reclaimed old reddit acct to post)
I just came up with this today, the last riff I just came up with on the spot, not sure if I'll use it.
I am not in a position to be loud all the time at the moment, but when I can I like to challenge myself to come up with one completely new skeleton in the usually short window I have. Been awhile since the stars aligned so this is what I came up with today, felt like sharing. So it's super rough, and this is the best take of the few I recorded, I like where it's going.
Lyrics thus far-
Rising out of an ocean of ash
Vestiges of a tumultuous past
Reciprocal reflection never really lasts
Singular affection fades just as fast
Encumbered talons cannot grasp
Fetters that bind me, cannot last
------ {next off the cuff riff}-----
I will be alone for the rest of my existence
A blurred mirage wavers in the distance
-------------
rant:
I tried to make a new reddit and post this, but apparently you need karma to do so. I had the day off and really felt like challenging myself to share something. I found old usernames where popping up most were deleted already, but this one from years ago was not so I recovered it to post this.
I am not trying to be unholier than thou, but I just hate screens and social media the only thing I ever have is reddit and even that is too much for me. I frequently delete as much of my existence as I can for various reasons.
However, this specific "community" has always been a well of open ears, a source of connection, and filled with dope individuals. And if this is the way I can get my art out there then that's what I'll do it. I will use other music centric social media when I finally complete a finished work. It's kind of like in the book "The Three Body Problem" where they send those transmissions into space and wait for a reply.
Again, not trying to sound arrogant or anything of the sort, but many people in the past have asked where they can find my music (which blows my mind and im grateful people want to listen to my shit)...you can't.
I have nothing posted anywhere but here, however I am putting all of my free time aside from my other hobbies into making an album, I'm just currently restricted logistically, but when I have the space to actually be able to record (which can't come soon enough), I won't really post stuff like this as much as it will be all about recording.
So until then, thanks for listening to this rough stuff, it stokes the flames of creation.
