So, unless we have more votes coming in today, it looks like the next Town Hall will be March 2nd at 6pm on Discord! (Iām going to create a channel during Town Hall time that is available to everyone regardless of trust level on the forum.)
UGH every time I think my aggro-feels for Incubus have died this song comes back to me, and then I go listen to the whole album again.
On a complete sidenote (maybe not even a sidenote since this thread hasnāt been updated for a week).
Huh, Iām a bit nervous here cause CJB knows this side, Catherine probably too but Iāve never been certain of my skills. The other side to the nervousness is the fact Iām really bad at starting threads.
A bit of a background here: my friends and I dabble with music to some extent but we all come from different backgrounds - she grew up on musicals, theatre and country. My friend, who has a band, is more of indie rock/rock and if Arctic Monkeys had a church, heād probably be its pope Iām the only person in this trio that had classical education followed by a plunge in folk (both classic and neofolk/neo-medieval) as well as metal.
At this moment - if you like rock, check out my mateās band - Aurora Blues. Huge things are coming for them this year and Iām excited!
Anyway, we have this wee circle in which we sometimes challenge each other to write something and sometimes either the lyrics or the music is being taken and repurposed. So I was recently asked to write something more rock-style, causeā¦ well, I donāt write rock. As they joke, my gist is coves, forests and an occult existential crisis here and there Anyway, I wrote two songs, one of them fitting the theme, the other one being less of it.
Then I re-read it a couple of times andā¦ well, curse you, CJB Seems like I spent too much time with The Monarch Papers recently.
Personally, I donāt feel like this is the best thing but at the same time - this is the only thing I could not improve after dabbling with it for a while. Sorry for the sentimental dolphins :3 Anyway, hiding this behind the spoiler line so your eyes donāt bleed:
We are the watchers
Standing between the dawn and the night
We are the dreamers
Looking below, all things in our sight
We are believers
Weāll ring the bells when moon hits the sky
Till the walls crumble
And rivers run dry
Canāt but relive life
The one we had led
Before the storm came
And burst sheets to shreds
Canāt but forget notes
From stained music sheets
Symphony of broken
The cull of the meek
We are the watchers
Standing between the dawn and the night
We are the dreamers
Looking below, all things in our sight
We are believers
Weāll ring the bells when moon hits the sky
Till the walls crumble
And rivers run dry
Remember this black shore
And wavesā crushing tides
Us waiting for dolphins
To join them in ride
Cannot but shake off
The burden of lies
Weāve never been kids
Yet none of dreams died
(slower)
And I curse my sleep
And bless the awakening
Under the star
That bleached the charcoal sky
(delicate)
I wish we together
Ran on this black shore
I know we together
Would stand up once more
(still delicately)
We are the watchers
Standing between the dawn and the night
We are the dreamers
Looking below, all things in our sight
fortissimo
We are believers
Weāll ring the bells when moon hits the sky
Till the walls crumble
And rivers run dry
Wait this is the coolest, let us know if you ever record this!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I want a Mountie Rock concept album.
:0
Iām sorry if it looks like Iām trying to take your spot
And as for the album - Iām in. Unsure how it would go with music but lyrics should be alright Would be a nice complimentary part to the soundtrack
Massive late reply because of health reasons but I absolutely loved the song! I ended up getting myself the mini album (which looks just sooo pretty) and all the songs are really good tbh. Thanks for thinking of me <3
my dude, im MORE than excited to see another musician here. once you find your way to the discord itāll be a legendary pairing. Im mostly a singer, youāre a writer, and i play guitar. Things will go famously.
And if you ever need a soprano voice, Iām happy to do anything music related.
Iām glad you liked it! Iāve been a fan of Dreamcatcher for a while and I roped CJ into it relatively recently. I know generally, Japanese music is more your thing, but itās got a similar sound to some of the things you recommended me so I thought you might be into it.
Theyāre more popular overseas than in Korea though, so there are always disbandment rumours floating around.
I really like them as well! I loved their Chase me / Emotion. Somehow most of the people I know that really like kpop donāt really care for them that much either, but theyāre probably my favourite female Korean group at the moment. (Though this was the first album of them I bought).
Chase Me is great. I love their supernatural concept. All their MVs are mysterious and creepy and itās just so unique.
Yes, I like how their MV stick to a theme. I know kpop groups love picking a new āconceptā for every release, but I like how Dreamcatcher just sticks to their image.
30 Minutes until Town Hall!
Ballad Of Balance - Connor Heighton - YouTube I wrote a song about @Balimora! sorry to the 57 people i just atted, but i figured most of you would be interested owo
all in all, its a great song, and im gonna keep writing more songs in the future! ill probably start a custom page for all of them soon, so keep an eye out!
The only thing I donāt like about it is that I wasnāt atted!
Youāve got a great voice (and mind this comes from baritone who doesnāt like tenors cause they tend to be really weepy) and I like your way with words! The lyrics also fit the theme perfectly and depict this sense of longing I love.
Almost tempted to hit you with a PM for a possible colab
