A song I wrote for someone who means so much to me.

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 8:39 am

Last October, we had a very big fight. It started as a misintepreted Skype conversation... I was in Germany and she was in Malaysia.

In an instant, we turned from being so close to being so far apart. Pretty sure she hated me, and never wanted to talk to me ever again.

I wanted to apologize, eventhough I knew that it wasn't 100% my fault. I am not denying that I have my flaws too, however I felt that it's unfair if I took all the blame. Regardless, I decided to just give in and be the first to say sorry.

But saying sorry wasn't enough.

I came back to Malaysia, and I started writing this song right away. I locked myself in the control room at the studio... like I was being possessed by some insane spirit, I worked on the song non-stop. 8 hours later, I had with me a fully completed song, with drums sequenced by me, and all of the bass and guitars and synths played by me as well.

I then spent the next 4 hours doing the vocals and finally mixing and polishing it for a final production.

Took the song home and started working on the lyrics video right away. Took about 3 hours.

The result that you're about to hear was something that I did for almost 15 hours, NON STOP, without food and water. Some people might think this is really stupid but... love can do crazy things to a man.

We're still not as close as we used to be, and she's still avoiding me as much as possible. It's difficult because we are both in bands in the local scene, and we bump into each other A LOT at our shows and venues. And everytime we do, we almost always fight.

However, things have cooled down a little... she promises that she will try to fix things for both of us, she says it's going to take a long time. I used to keep telling her how she hates me, and she's deny it... but everytime I want to hear an answer, we always get distracted by something, and by the end of the day, it's always the same: things would be left hanging, everything would remain unanswered. And this would go on for months. But after the last recent conversations with her... I can tell in her eyes that I still have a place in her heart, but something is confusing her...

So I'd just like to share this song with you. It totally broke my heart that this song had to be created... I did NOT like at all every single second I went through to finish this... but hopefully my story will inspire anyone out there who's looking to create something for their special someone.

You may hate the song, and that's totally fine. I wrote it from my heart and that's all that matters. :smile:

Enjoy (or don't). :smile:

While not the kind of thing I'd normally listen to, I'm very impressed. Your vocals are great, as is your musicianship. It's very professionally produced as well. Well done - this is very good.

Except for that one bit when you used auto-tune. Cut that out and you're golden. :P

I envy your versatility as a musician, especially as the finished product is such good quality, kudos.
Hope it does wonders to repair what you obviously miss. :)

Can't help but wonder what the argument was about, it must be something pretty serious.

I'm very sorry to hear the reason that this song had to be made, but it is insanely impressive. Your voice is fantastic, and the whole thing was produced wonderfully.

Damn dude, that's incredible! My sort of music too! You remind me of a band called Dead By April - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AQknSzA1AU is probably the most like your song (kinda mirrors the sentiments you were getting across as well!).

Music aside, I hope it all works out for you mate.

Well I am impressed. That was very good! If she does not forgive you for this you must have had one hell of a fight!

Really, really strange genre choice for a make up song.

The story is nice but the song didn't come off very sincere to me. It came off as you trying to be flashy instead of get your point across.
I guess I'm just an [censored].

All of that aside I wish you the best of luck with your girl.

That was... not what I was expecting. :P I'm impressed, sounds very professional and well-done, even though it's not my kind of music at all.

Hello. Thanks to everyone who checked it out... I appreciate your time. :)

I am kind of embarassed to explain the exact details of the argument... I mean, even in real-life, I don't think I'd have an easy time sitting with someone (no matter how much I trust him/her) and tell them everything.

It's not anything bad or dirty or anything like that (definitely not about another girl walking out of the bathroom :)) but it's just... I'm just not ready to openly discuss the details... I'd really love to but I just can't right now.

At any rate, thanks again for listening. I figured someone might be in a similar situation as me around here, hopefully the song would've helped them somewhat (I worked really hard on this just to present it to someone I care about... I wanted another chance with her, I wanted it so bad - I would not have sat 15 hours to make a song for just anyone)... that is all.

Thanks. :D

I was, a few years back. I didn't deal with it as well as you (i.e. by writing a kick-ass song). I just drank excessively.

I bumped this thread because every so often somebody makes a post about something they've created, be it a song, poem, story, etc. Most of the time it's mediocre stuff I'd forget in a day, but your song was something pretty awesome. If I'm on here tomorrow night and this thread isn't either closed for post limit or on the first page, I'm bumping it again.

EDIT: Cactuar!

This is pretty amazing, those 15 hours paid off.

While it is not my sort of music, it sounds like chart-topping material (please take that as a compliment)

Thanks again everyone for listening. :biggrin:

EvilFish1: LOL you're being too nice man... but thank you so much. I'm glad you dig the track. :smile:

To be honest, I was a little hesitant to share this at first because this is not the normal kind of music that I do with my main band... since most forums I go to, the majority of users on them listen to brutal metal music... :D

I don't think brutal metal would be the best way to win her back! :P

its been approximately 3 weeks since my girlfriend broke up with me ... ive never been in a relationship so fulfilled, but sadly it didn't work out and i spend every day thinking about what i could have done to make it work and i would do anything to get her back :(...
i hope you find a way to make it work because noone should go through a heartbreaking break up and its obvious that you love this girl more than anything :)

Pokoyo: She plays guitar in a deathcore band, and I'm singing in a metalcore band. Weird. :P But yeah, obviously writing a deathcore song is no way to make up with her. XD

sierra645: I'm sorry to hear that... I hope you find a way to deal with the situation or move on soon... that phase you're going through, I know how that feels... it totally svcks. D:
