Ghosts (Shadow Of The Dusk Sky).mp4

A song i created for myself. It was originally about a friend of mine's emergency hospital trip, but it ended up being about the separation of loved ones, and the attempt to move on. Well, thats the meaning in the lyrics any way, which i'll post in a second. I thought id try my hand at music, this time for myself rather than for a story i've created (a score), also, i'm still getting to grips with the whole music creation thing so i'll appologize in advance should anything be sloppy or sub-par.

In better times, when life was bright
and love was rife, and things were right
he had no woes, cause all was fine
The jewel of his parents' pride

but the case then changed, when the summer sun
tore him from his life, through the smoke and burns
the crash and the fire, dragging him from the lights
and his world faded to grey

Its time they said, a new world has begun
the shadows from the place that he'd been torn
so, in a shell of dust he stalks alone in the plain
with nothing of his own

and dreams, he'd never know.

hunting endlessly
for the girl of his life
whom he'd spend his years making her his wife
but his new found blindness would ensure that he'd never
find her face again.

So struck with grief
and of unknowing
the boy walks on
unaware of the past
but a candle left in place to bob with the wake
sends him back to rest
sends him back to rest
sends him back to rest

[interlude]

the boy walks on
unaware of the past
but a candle left in place to bob with the wake
sends him back to rest
sends him back to rest
sends him back to rest

[interlude]

And finally, the man of her dreams
grew faint and blurred, as she got on with her day
and never returned or ever spoke of the boy
she'd left in memory
