Beneath The Mask (Piano) - Persona 5/ Lyn Inaizumi
A belated happy birthday to one of my dearest friends, @amiwillywonka, give her a holler if you already haven’t ;) If this quarantine has blessed me with anything, its more time to practice piano finally.. And, seeing as you are one of the only one of my good friends who I’ve yet to play for, it was your turn, bud! <3 Thanks for all the good times, and here’s to many, many more. Keep on rockin’ and remember that I love your goofy ass >:3
I'm surprised you're just finding out about Zoe!~ When it comes to Monster Prom, Vicky was and still is my best girl, but Zoe has claimed herself as my #1 of dateable monsters. If you play the game, you're definitely going to enjoy her interactions and learn of her transition, and I hope you see some more of yourself in her, she does remind me of your silly ass self >:3
Happy 5th Anniversary, my love @ceruleanmoonlight~ This one goes out to you <3
This... Is for you, Alexia. I won’t make an intro like I do with my other pieces because this is directly for you. I played and began writing this around the beginning of the year, knowing fully well that I would need time to create something given how busy I have been that I couldn’t practice as often as I liked. It may be basic of me to write yet another song for you, but.. For now, it’s all I have, and what you’ll be hearing for the rest of our life together.~ This is a song I made for us, to represent our journey so far...
I was a fool when we first met, but I was a fool that fell in love. You know very well the things I’ve done, and even if I can’t forgive myself all the way yet for my past, I have you mostly to thank for my recovery and for helping me appreciate myself, something that has taken me the longest to do. I never thought anyone could love me as I grew up, I was just an annoying, weird kid who grew up to be some wannabe flirt who can’t stop telling a dirty joke to save his life, hah! Even when we first met, my flirting wasn’t too confident, I felt like I was just being a dork. Here we are five years later though, even with the bumps in the road, I can’t find anyone I love and trust more. You... Really feel like my soulmate. Not in the way that people say they were made for each other nor belong together but... We deserve each other.
We have both been through some tough times together. Dealing with self confidence and our skills, the ridicule of those around us, and just this distance alone has been the real challenge. But, I just knew that we would be okay. You give me strength, Alexia, and you are a pillar to me. You may not think you show enough love to me, but you couldn’t be more wrong! It’s because of you that I could feel proud of myself and how far I’ve come, instead of dwelling on my past mistakes and failures. If I were left alone with my thoughts a while ago, I don’t think I would have become the bright, “charming” guy I am today. You really help me appreciate who I am for loving me after this long, and all our talks of our future together only inspire me more to improve. For not only you and us, but for myself and those I love, especially you. These were my thoughts when I wrote this for us, and you may not be able to hear it the way I do, but I wrote this to sound a little bittersweet, but I reprises into something romantic and loving, showing how our relationship has blossomed. To me, it represents both of us as we grew together, and how our bond has made us as loving and strong as we are today, and how we will continue to be! Isn’t that right, babe?~
Now, the title will probably make you roll your eyes, but it should be flattering, hehe! You have stayed my moon angel after all these years, but us meeting must have been a miracle, as rare as a blue moon in fact, eheh. I treat our meeting as a lucky chance, and now whenever I look at your title and username, I get reminded of such facts! My love for the stars and yours for the moon, its a match made in heaven, dontcha think?~ As cliche as the title is, I do think it’s fitting for the melody I’ve made to represent our journey. Sort of sad, but overall sweet, relaxing/calming, and full of love and affection, just like us from then to now. See, there’s another reason your love specifically has inspired me! You truly are my muse, Alexia, I only hope I inspire you as much as you inspire me. I can’t imagine looking under these stars or appreciating the moon without you in mind now, and I can’t wait for the many nights we will spend together under them both...
For now, this is dedicated to five years of love and friendship, you are truly my best friend for life,and I will support you and your goals till the end of our days and whatever comes after, okay? I truly, truly appreciate you and everything you’ve done for me and for those around you. You are the most beautiful soul I’ve met, and I am the luckiest man to be able to share my own with you. Let this be the beginning of the many more years we will share together, another memory to cherish, and an honor to this life long companionship I know we have formed. One day, I want to marry you, Alexia. You better be prepared for then~
I love you with all my heart and soul, and I hope this song reaches into your own and feels every ounce of love I’ve put into it. Hopefully I can get back into the mix of practicing, but know that I haven’t lost my touch with the piano yet! I’ll continue to refine my art as you do with yours, babe! Till then, thank you again for these happy years together. I can’t imagine life without you,and I truly am grateful for you being in my life. Thank you. Thank you for everything. I hope to become a man worthy of your love, even if you say I already am. Let us fortify our relationship into the future, where one day I will play this song for you, in person~ I love you so much, Alexia. You truly are the light of my life. <3
Kass’ Theme/Champion’s Ballad (Piano) - Breath of the Wild
I welcome you to another piano hour with your one and only cool cat, Joshie, providing you with a lovely piece I played on our first rainy day in a while~ I may not have played Breath of the Wild yet, but boy can I appreciate music like this!
Now, I was easily entranced with this song when I first heard it going around, more particularly there was that one rendition with each of the race’s playing a part for the song~ This song is originally played on accordion and my is it haunting! It gives me waltzy vibes that were akin to Castle in the Sky, with a Zelda spin on it, so you know I had to learn it! Upon learning it, I had to look up many others play it and my, every instrumentation and cover was done so beautifully.. Ranging to accordions, melodicas, and violins, all things I’d love to learn more one day…
Aside from the music, I think the song itself is such a beautifully crafted representation of Breath of the Wild and it’s amazing and diverse champions, representing each race and their story through the sounds of the song and Kass’ music, it was.. Breath taking, no pun intended, slightly, heh. It was definitely a blast to learn and especially with the rain around me the day of recording. I used an electric keyboard for more synth effects for the song, if you could hear~ So I hope you cool cats can enjoy the music, along with many adventures we will have with Link in the future. Truly, this game and this song was a breath of fresh air ;3
and as with all my pieces, full free to delete anything under the read more for sake of saving space on your blog, so long as you enjoy the music~~~
The Poem for Everyone’s Souls (Piano) - Persona Series
I am thou… Thou art I.
Your thoughts have been clouded by the whims of “fate” and you have lost yourself in the grandeur of things. This long and twisted road you have traveled had once again divided, and yet, you still cling dearly to your artistry, your “passion”. How much longer can your fantasy world last in this world of sound and soul, or…
Perhaps, is it truly your calling? Would your imagination coexist in reality, can you truly prosper with the symphony that lies within your heart? Along this foggy path, you have forsaken your dreams and choice to appease society, truly showing how insignificant one person can be in the world for the sake of acceptance. Boring, stagnancy, hopelessness.. Such fears drive you to differ yourself, creating this arduous journey to discover what truly is your calling.
Alas, here you stand, bearing your soul to the world through your musical medium, one you hope to call your own one day. No longer should you shackle yourself for the amusement of others, only ruin awaits thee who refuses to accept change. Call upon the wisdom from your ventures into the unknown, and let yourself break free. Find that lost optimism you cherished for so long, go back to beginning and rise to the challenge once more. Only then can inspiration reach others as you have so dearly longed for.
Awaken and be reborn, for a world in ruin is salvageable yet,become the beacon of hope and march to your own drum… The instrument of your power lies the truth. Like it’s keys, the world may seem only black and white, but through experience shall you create the peace the world longs for. As your art sings and resonates to the well of passion within your soul, cherish this power only you can provide.
Your poetry is in motion, fuel the world with your passion and remember the words of another powerful poet:
“The powerful plays goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
