THE LAST PALAVER a tune I wrote after reading the Dark Tower

[Pluckyxo]

Sounds like a major scale yet sad

[silverpyro19]

beautiful beautiful beautiful. This song just makes me picture Roland leading his mule through the desert with a crow wheeling over head.

Added note: THERE IS A DARK TOWER MOVIE COMING OUT! check it out on Stephen King's website.

[amazingwave]

I feel like this song captures the sadness and the happy times in the book very well.

[TrunkMonkey3000]

A spider guards the tower of the Crimson King (represented by an eye.) On the dolllar bill there is a spider's web surrounding a pyramid (tower) and an eye. In Lord of the Rings, there is a spider (Shelob) guarding the tower and the eye. Notice a pattern? The spider is MAMAN - google image search it. Check the bible for information on the demon MAMMON. The tower is the TOWER OF BABYL, the eye is Lucifer.

[bloodybagal]

@TrunkMonkey3000 Don't bring your crazy nonsense here, listen to the song.

King made the story because it was an idea of his for a long time. None of that has anything to do with the Dark Tower.

[TrunkMonkey3000]

@bloodybagal Ka has not come to you.

[Tsukikoamoonchild]

Thank ya big big

[redeyeog]

Long days and pleasant nights! an awesome song!

[Shadowdancer21b]

Isn't Jae Lee's artwork awesome? I like it as much as Michael Whelan's. I like the song too. Put the slughorn to lips and blow Roland.

[crimsonking666666]

The Gans(Stephen King he of Maine) best work. His words should be taught in schools. All things serve the beam!

[silverpyro19]

@crimsonking666666 actually, Sai King was a high school English teacher for a long time

[zenrarity]

Your guitar being slightly out of tune is a cool match to the feeling of unbalance between the Beams. Cool song!

[TheGunslingertower]

This is very good. Do you happen to have guitar tabs for this song? Thankee sai. Long days and pleasant nights.

[SteffanMarkussen]

It is a really beautiful song :) And it also reminds me of The Dark Tower series.

[Deoceres]

This is wonderful and really does remind me of the series, the way for some reason Iron Maiden's Journeyman does. Well done!

[zeronothings]

Say Gawb bomb will ya

[AceOfSpades0009]

Long days and pleasant nights to you, SQUIDMACK, long days and pleasant nights.

[ChickenPissInTheRoad]

sounds like pink floyd. I always think of pink floyd whilst I read the dark tower. I always think of the song 'misery' by green day while i read 'salem's Lot

[tweakynips]

nice song, i think it wud have worked better if u included more images of the ka-tet as they travelled the wastes and bonded, the tune makes me think of them and the friendship they had. lets hope if they ever put this story to screen they do it justice, on the efforts of The Stand, It and Desperation i wont hold my breath.

[vicente321]

This song is alot better than mine you also are alot better at guitar than me. But I just don't find this song to capture that dark tone of the books, it sounds a little too cheerful. It also reminds me of that music you would find in a porno or something. J/k about the last part XD

[MadMariner01]

Even now as I listen, I feel it tug my heart. it moves me in a way most ordinary music never truly can; it sparks the soul. thank you, and may you have many long days and pleasant nights, gunslinger, and may Ka guide your hands and heart so we can hear it again.

[MadMariner01]

Squidmack,

much as the DT books spoke to me, this song does as well. it was a very beautiful interpetation of the Gunslingers' quest. I sat down at the piano and managed, as though Ka itself guided my hands, to a beautiful melody that complimented your own, and I couldn't help but wonder, was it your song, or the Song of the Rose? (interesting title for a song.. maybe I'll use it, say thankya) (To be continued in a second comment)

[EbolaTai]

longs days and pleasnt nights

[EbolaTai]

the ned of dark tower series was the sadest thing i ave ever read in my life

[MySerpentine]

Not my thing, really, but I can see how it would fit . . .

[ZULUTUBER]

After all the times I've listened to this song it still blows me away. Just heard they are going to probably do a tv miniseries, would love to see your song used somehow, it really reflects alot of the sadness of the series, thankee sai yet again.

[nachosrule]

I liked the song alot, when i saw that this was your own i was expecting a darkish bluegrassy tone or country tone (the way i would make it if i could write a song lol)the song was great and the ending was better :D

i finished the wolves of the calla awhile back but im taking a break between books

[andersdelta]

The end is the greatest part of the Dark Tower series. Finish all of them!

[DarkxElf]

No offense but... as much as I love the Dark Tower series.. This just sounds like something my grocery store would play. Seriously.. =\

[S4vy76]

i read the whole series and once i finished the last book i read the whole thing again, i must say that i enjoyed it a lot more on the second try, maybe because some things became clearer, or i was reading with a different mindset?

[sosonono]

Ye spoke true, thankee sai. Im currently at Wizard and Glass so I got a bit more to go, I feel really connected to the story however and I must say I am impressed how you can write music to it. Keep up the good work. You have remembered your father's face.

[mkclash]

great books! just finished last one

[PoofythePuppy]

thankee-sai thankya big-big

[andersdelta]

This music rules greatly!

Props to you!

[Pull54545454]

oland!

[000majorwinters000]

Kiyit, oy!

[MillionKnives89]

Thankee sai, now i know what the rose must have felt to Roland, Jake, Eddy, Sussanah, and Oy. For surely after watching and listening i am filled with a kind of warmth and happiness that only the rose could produce. May you have long days and pleasant nights.

[000majorwinters000]

And we say thankya, you say true.

[Xeraphem]

Thankee sai songslinger. I enjoyed the music a lot, may it do ya. Favorited.

[uvonky]

Once again great tribute...Out of all the other Dark Tower tributes you and i are the only ones using original music.^^

[penededios]

i finioshed listening to it on audiobooks and you got the feeling just right

i say thankee sai big big musicmaker

[YourPrivateArea]

nice job squiddy, im a drummer myself, sounds like you have talent

[Hinata13159]

whats handgun honeybun?

[YourPrivateArea]

its a new top secret concealable weapon developed by the cia, it resembles pastry

[Branmakmorni]

I actually didnt picture the end credits of a movie. More like the end credits of a Dark Tower video game if it were made in the mid-90's. Not knockin' it though; it was a mellow groove.

[Phillies64]

Song fit well. The pics and more importantly the music, made me picture the end credits of Dark Tower film. (I hope they don't make a movie though.)

Nice work.

[PierzStyx]

The only way it would work is as a series of at least 4 real movie. But the series is just to out there to make it I think.

[artlitmusic]

Very pretty song...it goes well with the series

[helenas357]

La voz que lleva consigo el crepusculo dulce aroma de las rosas, el aroma de la casa en una noche de verano, o perdido! Una piedra, una rosa, una puerta todavia no se encontro. Una piedra, una rosa, una puerta.

My favourite line from book 7 of The Dark Tower series. Great music, by the way, it really captured that bittersweet quality of Roland's tragic journey. Muy bien!

[DeliciousWheel]

Phenomenal song. Great work, Squidy.

[uvonky]

Catchy tune and u really made the pics come to life...the books and the comics are amazing. Good work ^^

[andersdelta]

7 was the best.

[bmxtrls250]

7 sucks balls sorry

[000majorwinters000]

*ahem* 19 balls. And, it doesn't suck. It serves the tower and the white.

[mlasnek]

5-7 Did not blow, and of all of them I think 4 was the worst until the end. 7 was the best.

[daftwaffle]

thanks for this. this captured everything about the books. very very nice. more people should hear this.

[Henrikfack]

what made this song so melancholic was that the music wasn't THAT sad, but still it was. It kind a made it so u had to use you're imagination. If u see? But still it was a sad song with a little "happy" feel to it. It describes in a way Roland with out using words.

I'v just started reading the fourth book. :) And im falling in love with Susan Dean :(.

GOOD WORK SQUIDMACK!

[bmxtrls250]

Watch out books 5 - 7 blow, just a heads up

books 1 - 4 are the real Dt books

[IntrebuloN]

5-7 didn't blow

granted they didn't have the same grit to them

but let's see you pick up a story some years later and capture the exact same feel. if anything, the writing is better, if not as creative or raw.

[IntrebuloN]

you may not like her so much come book 6.

[000majorwinters000]

Incredible.

[OddlaneDandelo]

i like the tune, i do think you captured the correct feel, good job.

[itubeftw]

Hey, this is awesome...You've got talent.

[DashHopes]

Very very good!

[rstlgh1]

i chilled to the tune. nice

[sbctim]

I believe even Marten Broadcloak would have almost shed a tear for that song... Had he survived the devil spawn, that is!  Good work, buddy!

[000majorwinters000]

Thankee for that good work of a true Ves-Ka Gan, you don't go unappreciated. Good to see A worthy tribute as yours. Good to see ka has lead you to the Dark Tower series.

[shimmy307]

I think it needed to be a little bit darker at parts, due to the constant regret and sadness that Roland feels. I still thought it was a great song though and it really captured the general feel of the series. Good job.

[pfalky2k]

agreed. needed a dark, sombre feel. almost a dirge, with some morricone-esque thing going on. not a bd effort, all told. the books were among the best i've read,

[vodbot2]

nice :)

[thaixnoodles]

I totally see where you're comming from

but to me

this was FUCKING ANARCHY

I got this rediculous emotional thing going for the books but the whole thing was just chaos. Best represented for me, is Black Flag of The dead kennedys

i was heavily into those when reading DT.

good job tho!

I get what you're going for

[u5bullet]

and this(tune) really brings the feelings of such an emotional epic out with its awesomeness. actually i smelled somthing burning after i watched this... it was my face melting from your video's awesomeness. GOOD JOB! you are a true te-ka. keepind the ves ka gan going my friend. cant tell you how much this(your music) made me weep for the breakin of roland's tet. GOOD FUCKING JOB!

[000majorwinters000]

I agree. Great Ves ka Gan.

[u5bullet]

im really speechless to your licks and mastery of the guitar, but i really am out of things to say because this my friend is probably the greatest tribute ive seen/heard for the dark tower series. im pretty sure roland, jake, eddie, susannah/odetta/detta and the pere would be happy and proud of your ves ka gan. ^o^

[thescreamxxx]

Great work

[powerlemur]

I have only one comment...

VERY awesome song!

[BeatlesDiva]

Great song!  You have a lot of talent.

[cuttlefish717]

I know baby I'm sorry. I told you that I messed up and there is no way to change it now :(
