Writing a Musical- "I'm Gonna Find You" demo - Mike Lombardo - The Alchemist

Alchemy is a form of ancient pseudo-science involving things like trying to turn like copper and iron into gold, and trying to stop the human aging process.

What's happening in the story:
The album opens with this song sung by The Alchemist. He works as an apothecary (kind of like a dark-ages pharmacist). A customer asks for a potion to make him forget about a broken heart. The Alchemist gives it to him, but the customer's story prompts him to tell a story of his own: How he lost his childhood love to a horrible sickness, and how her memory still haunts him even fifty years later.
He could have simply wiped his own memory at any point, but instead chose to live with her memory, even though it's painful for him.
In the final section of the song, he resolves to create an elixir that will bring him back in time to his youth so he might save her.

Mike, to be honest, I dislike this EP idea. What are you thinking? Why make and EP when you can make an LP and make me happier. I am disappoint.

[MikeLombardoMusic]

@sn4kp4k Needs to be out before summer tour. Also this method of producing is very expensive and an LP would be prohibitively so.

GOOSEBUMPS. I've got goosebumps. :)

[SiriusSurvives]

Oh my gosh this is awesome. *_*

I love this and of course I'm crying and thinking about how this sort of fits Snape but not really. xD

Its like totally stunning I don't even know *PLus the piano bit just makes me happy*

[jsredrose]

I listen to this song everyday. Seriously. I don't have internet at my house, but I load the video and listen to the song all the rest of the day. Can't wait for the rest to come!

[blueshirtpinkshoes]

it needs to be...epic. right now its good, but make it more epic, and it'll be marvelous.

[TheNargleWatcher]

I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH! this is getting me too excited. You are so talented, and just an inspiration, you make gorgeous music and words don`t exsist to describe how amazing you are. Did you know I get up every morning to play the piano and continue compose my music because you have inspired me so much! I LOVE YOU!

[SuperEggplantMan]

This is awesome! I can't wait for the EP!

[mememealsome]

I can't wait for the album. consider this a pre-order!

[alittlejstillz]

I am definitely interested. I like your plot and the song sounds great, a mixture of everything that is good about Mike Lombardo plus musical song flavor. Do you plan on getting this up on its feet, like perhaps on stage some day?

[Metzgirl]

Well, this song sounds fantastic. Kind of an old school Dr. Horrible feel to it. so far.

[TheNevilleFangirl]

I have to be honest, I'm super excited for this EP. The idea of you writing a musical just really seems appropriate to me. As a lover of all things Musical Theatre and Youtube, I can't wait to see what you do with this idea! Just in this one clip, the raw emotion in your voice took me through the story of the song. Such a great job. Loving this new project =]
