We are Hope

Hey Everyone! Finally got another song recorded, and I'm pretty excited about it! This will be the first song with drums. It's not me playing them, it's Jordan. (because he's better) I actually wrote this song a while ago, and we recorded it, but that didn't come out too well. So we scrapped it and started over, and this is what we came up with! Hope you enjoy this song!



Here's the lyrics:

Chorus
We are the life in the dead of winter
We are the light in the dark
We are the warmth till the end of the night
We are the calm in the storm
We are hope We are hope

Verse 1
the leaves fall off the trees
and the coldness of death descends upon you
the last heat of the year
rises to the sky
through your desperate fingers

Verse 2
the sun sinks low in the western sky
will it ever rise again?
the darkness smothers your eyes
feel the world and be blind

Verse 3
the clouds come like a steamroller
crushing everything with rain
it washes you out
the blue sound and bland sight
makes you wonder if there was a thing called sun

Bridge
you’ll always have hope you’ll always have hope (2X)

Problems

Hey everyone!

For some reason all of our Youtube videos were deleted, so that's why right now you can't play the songs. I'm really sorry about this, and I'll try to get them back up as soon as possible.

Song: The Finish LIne

Hello, friends!

This is my first "official" (with lyrics and almost properly recorded) song in a while. The EQing on my voice is pretty bad, and as you know, I'm not a very good singer. (some of the parts are rather horrendous) Don't worry, it's not just me and a piano, so be patient! When I wrote it, I was pretty much obsessed with it, so I hope you like it too - Jon



Verse 1
An ounce away from a quart of blood
but then again, the blood’s still coming
A foot away from a pile of gold
but then again, you gotta live to take it

Verse 2
And when the blood was still in your veins
you wanted nothing more than to hold it
but now that it’s left what good would gold do
in your arms that couldn’t even feel it

Chorus
And the body that used every ounce of it’s strength
to grasp those very pieces
is now lying dead on the ground in a
dark mine with no one to shed a tear

Bridge
What good did you do?
like a honeybee making honey only to have it stolen
your race has finished
but you never crossed the line
somewhere along the way
the corpse lies under the ground


Chorus 2
This is your story it could have been quite a tall tail
but you ran the wrong direction the whole time

Hello Friends!

I haven't gotten to record for a while, due to the crazy holidays and everything else. However, I am planning on starting up again, hopefully next Sunday. I finally had my electric guitar fixed, (the neck was all warped) so I recorded some experimental instrumentals. There are two sections to each song, so don't get discouraged that you have to listen to 2 minutes of the same riff, because you don't! Hope you enjoy! (I didn't record the drums, by the way)
