I'm not a composer, but this one came out good.

if you remember me, Im the beginner keyboard player who tried composing with the simple "Unbreakable Attitude". I composed more songs and I have enough music for an album, but I think this song stands out because of better sound quality, complex rhythms, epic feel, and emotion. I did it alone.

If you are pro-bush, stay away!! It has some controversial and biting lyrics at the end. It is about how 9/11 was politicized and how we were misled into war.

An classical and slowly intensifying chord progression opens the piece, using piano, percussion and church organ. Later, the 9/11 section opens with a weird time signature of 23/8 to play with the rhythms o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o---o-o--- (9, 1, 1). A melancholic mellow part continues it with a recurrent theme. Then it gets good: A complex 5/4 part "Why Iraq?" relying on rhythm. The transition to the chorus is excelent and powerful, but I don't hide the fact that the chorus is very similar to Yes' Mind Drive, so I will give credit to them there. It's still a cool section with shifting time signatures. After that, the overture chord progression returns with some lyrics whispered. A hopeful organ solo is extended for a minute and the piece ends.

Listening...

Pretty good, that was pretty inspired. Now go get a group!

UPDATE: I collaborated with a female friend who has quite a good voice and plays 3 instruments (guitar,flute,keys). We tried our debut with a simple, yet very effective ballad. While that song was quite good melodically, we wanted to hit something more interesting.

So We got some really experimental, bizarre and prog song featuring tempo changes, time signature changes (one example being 15/16), scale changes, complex vocal harmonies, uncommon song structure, while keeping an acoustic sound and a short song duration (4 1/2 minutes). The instrumentation is inspired by Tool, Opeth and Pain of Salvation and the vocals obviously by middle-eastern music.

Enjoy, and give comments/suggestions:

could you upload the song again pls, since it expired?

It seems it became expired, here's another link for the song:


EDIT: I changed the link again because I did volume balances and added a few strings/piano background music in the verses instead of the guitar that feels out of place and out of the scale of the song.

i didnt catch any lyrics throughout the song?

The Lost Chord wrote: 1. Peter Gabriel owns that guy 2. Gabriel looks like a master musican whereas the other looks like a troll from world of warcraft 3.  One is obviously from the golden age, and one is taken a publicity shot and is obviously more recent. 4. Gabriel has a shaven forhead 5. The guy on the left also kind of looks like someone from Kiss on crack or ready for a killing spree
