Being home from school today sick (ugh, I know) I decided To do something constructive, as apposed to sitting on my ass and doing nothing. So this is what I got out of my drugged up, half-conscious self.

If anyone can come up with a title for this piece, I'd appreciate it... I haven't been able to come up with anything creative.

P.S. You should probably turn up your volume a bit so you can get all the little parts in the middle. :-) Enjoy!

Another soul wrenching piece

here is an Emily Dickinson poem to go along with it...because this song got me feeling poetic but i haven't written in years.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea,
Yet never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

Tamadrum responds:

Wow, that was a great poem man... I haven't read any of Emily Dickinson's work in ages. I very much appreciate you sharing it with me...

beautiful

soldier kneeling ona blood soaked field gripping an amulet in his hands (his wives) sward pressed into the corpse of some crature/demon memories reaturn of his family. how mutch he loved them. Tears brim his eyes as he gripps the amulet even tighter. War wages around him but he doesnt care. with the strength of his family he stands with the snare drum. pulls his sword up to his chest ready for combat and engages a foe. the camera zooms out to show me an epic battle between good and evil/heaven and hell. i see in slow motion. said warrior fighting with the names of his family on his lips. in his mind. and with that strength he surges foreward. he is struck down to the ground wounded. and when all hope is lost to him, tears streaking his eyes (as the people start singing) a being towers over him, glowing white wings spread wide flaming sword in hand armor gleaming in the sunlight. he streatches forth his hand to help the warrior up, he takes it in awe at this being. and as one. they reenter the fray.

its semi broken up but thats what i saw. i was just locked within myself and typed as fast as i could lol. apparently it wasnt fast enough because this is jsut a fraction of what i saw/felt with this piece.

thank you tama for yet another snippet of freadom though my writers block... not as good as "an empire of dirt" but epic nevertheless. with this calm music i dont know why i saw a battlefield. interesting i guess ;D.

sorry for missing this song when it was first posted. really enjoyed it did alot for me. im almost outa my writers block, keep up the good work and keep posting. maybe you can get me outa this stupid block soon :D good luck to you and fun composing.
5/5 10/10

and if i might say. i hate recomending things to other artists ESPECIALLY when it comes to the title of the song but if you insist i think "hope" fits this song well. and so that is what i would title it. but dont listen to me your the author of this not me ;D. im just another critick

Tamadrum responds:

If this is you with a writer's block, I would very much like to see what you can write with inspiration!

This story you wrote reminds me of the one you wrote for "One Day Remains" It would be awesome if they were all somehow connected together into one epic Story!

Btw, I believe I will change the title... if only a word or two. :)

I hate you

Every single one of your works has managed to mess with my emotions, and I hate you for that. Not literally. =)

It's just, you manage to get past my barriers with your music causing me to feel almost...violated.

I esp loved the beginning because I have a special love for string instruments. Please continue with your work as you show true talent and I would become depressed if this feeling ended. No matter how much I hate it. =) Because in truth, if I hated it, it is because I fell in love with it. And it keeps on ending, leaving me hanging. So, I hate it. I'm not making much sense anymore. Ok, now I feel stupid >.<

Tamadrum responds:

I am glad that you don't hate me... cause then I would be extremely sad. :(
I'm glad you enjoyed another one of my songs. :)

=) cool

Great work, loved it, keep it up.

Tamadrum responds:

Thanks jewelz! :D

hmm

Tamadrum responds:
