Listen to my song

[Sharkchild]

So, in my latest Heartist Carnival segment on my podcast, The Dark Verse, I wrote a short song to change things up. This was my first attempt at writing a medieval-like song. Let me know what you think!

Heartist Carnival: Remnant III

Here are the lyrics to the song:

VERSE I

Give of your heart
To the solstice of your soul,
When the goblins dance
And sing in soothing seething.

Leave for the dead
All of withered wonders past
While you tread through the black
with wings of retribution.

CHORUS

Build a castle high
On rock and broken bones;
Shelter for the wise.

Train the restless soil
With faith and hallowed prayers;
Raise it from the grave.

VERSE II

One last romance
For the lonely of a world
Where fire rests in air
And burning is traditional

Wounds to the sky,
Do you ever wonder why
There are nightmare things
That have unholy power?

CHORUS

Build a castle high
On rock and broken bones;
Shelter for the wise.

Train the restless soil
With faith and hallowed prayers;
Raise it from the grave.

Needs a lute;)

good job, I'm not a fan of the effects on the voice, but you've certainly succeeded in creating a very "medieval" sounding song.

I could not let my own voice stand as it is; it does not grasp the nostalgic feel I wanted.

Now let me listen to your own.

Great tune but I think it really does need a lute or maybe a Crumhorn.

crum·horn - a Renaissance musical reed instrument having a cylindrical tube curved at the end.



Excellent!

I'm sure glad I wasn't around in medieval times then. LOL

Your voice is incredible... Dark and creepy (~sexy~). Nice gothic take of a Renaissance style. I'll have to hear more.

Holy Rockabilly, Batman... Ush, that's fantastic. Totally a blast. I just sent you a friend request. Is that you singing?

Musically, not my cup of tea (personally speaking)... But the music's really tight. Obviously you've got a lot of talent.


Thanks for sharing, guys.

Perhaps Renaissance is a better word to grasp what I was going for rather than medieval. I really just wanted it to be creepy and catchy.

Thanks for the nice comments, Chrono.

Yup. I'm this singer/songwriter. It's what I do when I'm not writing scary movies or terrifying my children.
