Many people have had complaints about this song's structure...I will use this
space to explain that.
Whenever I am feeling an emotion strongly, I need some sort of release. Writing
music is my release. I write short, 2-6 pattern snippets as that release,
and then every so often, I get creative and take parts of each and put them
together, therefore creating an honest representation of my life. The structure
follows my thought cycles. This song begins with a purposely made clash of
mellow chords and upbeat rhythm, representing my off-the wall hyperactivity
shrouded in a want for mellow relaxation. Then, the melody comes in as my
happiness but in that minor chord showing that there are problems with that
happiness. Then the melody slows down to show my tiredness, along with the beat
representing my urge to keep going. The change in rhythm style to a four count
rhythm shows my confusion about life and the bass sound coming in is my anger.
The sound effect falling off after that represents my occasional volcanic
eruption of anger or my nervous breakdown of sorrow. The part with the
percussion stuff with the quitar melody is my hope and inspiration. Then when
the music comes in with the flute part, that's the anger and my want to calm
down and just relax. The following slow part represents my sorrow, my
introverted shyness, my desire to be alone. The rest of the song is a
soothing feeling, a sense of peace. The thunder is the occasional glimpse of
anger in my mind. The guitar is my thoughts running through my head. The
smooth melody is my cry for help, my sobs, my despair...my want for love and
affection. The ending is then gradually falling off to represent myself
slowly going to sleep with those sorrows filling my mind while I slip into my
altered state of consciousness. That is my life, in the form of music, my
thunderous silence.
I recommend that you listen to the song while you read this. It will help
you better understand both the song and me.
I would like to thank Vincent Voois and Sage for their help in my song writing.
also like to thank the various artists out there for the many samples I ripped
from their songs, including, but not limited to, Necros, Awesome, and Vincent
Voois, and the others that I regretfully can't remember right now.
I thank you, the listener, for taking this trip with me.
Music IS the doorway to the soul.
