I worked on a new song entitled Escapist Odyssey and tried out different chord combinations for the intro. The theme for the song is escapism and Christmas is one of form of escapism for me so I think that would be a good element of the lyrics. Though I don't want to spell it out in the lyrics that the theme is Christmas. Well, that's the current plan. It might change entirely. Maybe the lyrics will just be about winter. I have already written some lyrics and due to them I wanted a calm piano intro for this piece. I started out with D minor yesterday and as I was jamming today I thought everything sounded a bit too sad. Maybe D minor is the saddest key of them all. I'm not too keen on starting with a major key because then it sounds way too joyful and maybe cheesy. At least for this song. It has to be beautifully sad, mysterious and filled with awe. That's what I'm aiming for.
After some work on Escapist Odyssey I started thinking of a new slow metal song inspired by the last section of the Nightwish epic Beauty of the Beast called Christabel. So, this one is a slow and heavy one. Not sure if it's too heavy for this project but we'll just have to see how it turns out. The title of this post is a reference to the working title for this song. When I was thinking about a title that just sprung to my mind and comes from the lyrics of Ghost Love Score. Another Nightwish song.
Today's song: Kamelot - Up Through the Ashes
