Thought I'd make a casual thread to share my music. Feel free to give me feedback, thoughts/ideas, and critiques.

I'll start off with a song I wrote quite a few years ago. It has nothing to do with D&D or RPG's, but it's one of my greats.

Lyrics (represented by the Tenor Saxophone):


The Meaning Of Life (Part 1)

Hopes and dreams may shatter, but we still wish them to be
The only hope I dream is to awaken all humanity
The wars are never over and all the people left to die
But what is left to fight for if your dreams just don't apply

It's the change in life that makes this life exist
If this change should cease, I know it would be missed
'Cause it's the change in life that lets us carry on
And the change, it tells us we're alive


Nightmares come and go, but our dreams are always there
Still I don't know why the thought is still too much to bear
They try to hide from the world around them, but it never goes away
So what's wrong with the thought of living for today?

<Guitar Solo>

It's the change in life that makes our lives exist
If this change should cease, I know it would be missed
'Cause it's the change in life that lets us carry on
And the change, it tells us we're alive


It's the change in life that makes this life exist
And the change, it tells us we're alive

Here's the sequel to the above post. Lyrics are again represented by the tenor saxophone. The smaller text is whispered rather than sang.

The Meaning of Life (Part 2)

What matters most is never doubting yourself
Life's worth the wait just wait and see
We are not alone because we are one and the same
The meaning lives and it will always be

It's the change in life that keeps us hanging on
And these changes may just keep us standing strong


We keep changing, and searching for truth
We'll never know ourselves if we keep wasting our youth
I gotta premonition that it's all for the best
But still I keep on searching through this thing in my chest


We've turned our back on everyone and ourselves
Just doing what came easily
We can't be alone because we're still in the game
A savior lives inside of you and me

It's the change in life that keeps us hanging on
And these changes may just keep us standing strong


So we'll just keep moving on
But still I got a new confession to make
I'll do whatever it takes
To know each other the way we know our pain...

<Guitar Solo>

We keep changing and searching for peace
We'll never know ourselves if we dont' find some release
I had some good intentions, but I started too fast
So I will keep on waiting 'til it's better at last


It's the change in life that keeps us hanging on
And these changes may just keep us standing strong
It's the change in life that keeps us hanging on
And these changes may just keep us standing strong


It's the change in life that keeps us hanging on...

This is an experimental tune I wrote in a time of personal crisis. The music is reminiscent of the 80's, so bear with me here lol.

Why I'm Alive

Am I to blame for the way you treat me?
Man, I think it's the same as the lies that you tell me everyday
And it's true that I can't, that I will not take this anymore
But you sit and you watch as I fade away, so I pray

Can you take this all away?
Like the life I lead today
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Cause I've fallen to my knees
And I'm praying that you'll
Guide me on the path that I choose to lead
I know I don't have a clue
But in truth, that's why I'm alive


Am I insane for the way I let you grind me into the ground
Don't you know that wouldn't do the same?
I don't think you care about me, but then still I give you everything that I have
But I think that it's time for change, so I pray

Can you take this all away?
Like the life I lead today
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Cause I've fallen to my knees
And I'm praying that you'll
Guide me on the path that I choose to lead
I know I don't have a clue
But in truth, that's why I'm alive


Can you take this all away?
Like the life I lead today
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Oh, Lord

Can you take this all away?
Like the life I lead today
What did I do to deserve this pain?
Cause I've fallen to my knees
And I'm praying that you'll
Guide me on the path that I choose to lead
I know I don't have a clue
But in truth, that's why I'm alive

The Weaker

Save us from each other
Because we can't protect ourselves
The strong, they know we don't belong
So they let us kill our own

Eye for an eye
Lie for a lie

I had a dream that they shot me down
Into the ocean and they let me drown
But now the thought of me is haunting them
And now they're too afraid to try

Cause we are the weaker
We are the broken hearts
Who hide amongst the strong
But we're the ones who'll carry on
Nobody dares say goodbye
And no one cares at all if they lie
Is it just natural selection
Or are we just brought here to die?


Life seems so much easier
when you're not living it anymore
It's just a dream for those
who weren't strong enough to survive
Everything's okay they say
We're just meant to fall

Cause we are the weaker
We are the broken hearts
Who hide amongst the strong
But we're the ones who'll carry on
Nobody dares say goodbye
And no one cares at all if they lie
Is it just natural selection
Or are we just brought here to die?


Spoken in background:
There is nothing holding us back now
We have to fight for what we believe in, no matter the cost
They think they're stronger, just look at their pride
But there are two of us for every one of them
For our pain fuels us, so raise thy sword

Cause we are the weaker
We are the broken hearts
Who hide amongst the strong
But we're the ones who'll carry on
Nobody dares say goodbye
And no one cares at all if they lie
Is it just natural selection
Or are we just brought here to die?


No, no no no
No, no...
No, no no no
No, no no...

A World With No Sun

So many nights without you
Just had to think about you

Just the thought of losing you
Brings my fear again
And the moonlight calls to me
Telling me to take the light away
Darkness covers me
Now I can live peacefully
In a world with no sun


So now I watch the night fall
Don't miss the sun at all

Just the thought of losing you
Brings my fear again
And the moonlight calls to me
Telling me to take the light away
Darkness covers me
Now I can live peacefully
In a world with no sun


Can you tell me what you feel?
The cold light of the moon
Our love is burning like the sun
That doesn't rise anymore
The starlight's shining in your eyes
But even more than before
They see our shadows by the moon
On this dark ocean shore

Just the thought of losing you
Brings my fear again
And the moonlight calls to me
Telling me to take the light away
Darkness covers me
Now I can live peacefully
In a world with no sun
