Decypher - Elucidation
« on: January 08, 2016, 09:05:37 am »
Throwback to half a year ago when I wrote this song while going through the hardest time of my life. Every time I listen to it its just a flood of emotions for myself. I hope it somewhat translated when you hear it.

Backstory: This girl who I knew's older brother committed suicide and It was just as I was beginning to get closer to her so I felt that it happened for a reason. So of course when it happened I was there for her just being a good friend, listening, talking, getting her mind off it when it needed to be, and talking to her through it when she needed someone to help her process what happened and why. Her parents personally thanked me for being there for her. There was absolutely NOTHING between us besides 2 close friends. Then 3 weeks later her parents told me to stop talking to her (I just became a legal adult at the time and our parents went to church together, so I didn't think it was THAT big of a deal), so I kept on talking to her, helping her, etc. Then out of nowhere I get home from a long day at work and theres a sheriff at my door handing me a restraining order. My cousin still talks to her daily and he's told me that it wasn't from her at all it was simply her parents. But at the time I also couldn't tell anyone about it as it might be considered witness tampering if I was going to take it to court. So me, as a brand new 18 year old couldn't tell ANYONE about the hardest thing id ever gone through for 4 months. It looked like on of my closest friends slapped me with a restraining order with no explanation at all. That's not something that's easy to process. So I turned to music to vent it all out and this is the product of that.

Holy shit that's long. But yeah, enjoy the song.

Also, what would you genre this as? Just curious because I honestly couldn't genre it.

About the track:
Very nice.Love the first part of the track.The melodies are brillant.
But the second part starting at 1:25 with only the bass is a bit too bare,it could use some layering,some countermelodies.

The silence in the last part of the track are nice but you could put some more synths/FX/short melodies,alternating stuff in the silence lets say after the 4th one, to make it less repetitive,cause after a few of them it become tiring a bit but thats just a suggestion its fine like that too.

About the story:You did what was right,you helped her,she will remember you for that so fuck these stupid parents.I guess she is like 17 or something?(but if she s like 13 thats another story...)
