Morrigan’s Lament

PelgrisLeave a comment

This is the raw audio of a song whose lyrics I wrote.  The cadence and phrasing are mine as well but influenced by my Bassist Jennifer, whose current Project is The Heartless Bartons . Obviously, she is not playing on this track because I recorded it at 3:30 in the morning and she is not around. The music and arraignment are hers so we share credit on all Darkness on Fire music to this point.  Darkness on Fire being the band’s name.   Just keep in mind that this isn’t a miked performance, so it’s perhaps not as forceful but it sounds good to me.  Let me know what you think in the comments section.

 

 

 

Thinking about Vegas

So, I play roleplaying games. Yes, I know that makes me super nerdy. So what. Go be more than 1 thing, theres still time. So Roleplaying games, Tabletop mainly. Think method acting not Gary Gygax if you get that reference.
A long time ago I ran a VtM(Vampire the Masquerade) game. Set in Vegas. It was a Chronicle I had run 1 time with a group over the course of a year and I liked it so much I started it with another group.  This time I incorporated music into the chronicle.  Specifically the primogens, The leaders of each faction, would have somewhere in the background these songs playing and they gave hints as to what each of these individuals represented and how they saw themselves. If players paid attention they could get vital clues.  This is the play list and the Leaders/characters

1. Me-Malkavian Prince of the City-Regret-Assemblage 23
2. He-CoPrimogen Malkavian-Watching Me fall The cure
/She-Co-Primogens of the Malkavian Faction-there is no if…-The cure
3. Abay-Gangrel physical Child-Ghoul-Bloodline Slayer
4. Aoibheann-Tremere Ghoul- I Put a spell on you-marilyn Manson
5. Aranhod-Gangrel Primogen-The wolf hunt-David Arkenstone
6. Cyrus-Brujah Primogen-I’m Serious-Clipse
7. The City Itself(Las vegas)- Sin City(KMFDM Remix)-Genitorturers
8. Maria-Toreador Ghoul-current lover of Toreador Primogen-Transylvanian Concubine-Rasputina
9. Martin-Toreador Ghoul-Jilted Lover of Toreador Primogen-Everywhere-Michelle Branch
10. Balthazar Caine-Nosferatu Primogen-Citizens’ Utilities-Northern lights
11. Jessica-Toreador Primogen-Sex -Berlin
12. Enjovi Nuwere-Ventrue Primogen-Hand that rocks the cradle-big stan
13. Ṣadr ad-Dīn Muḥammad Shīrāzī-Tremere Primogen-Miss Sheva-Dreams

This is arguably a country song, which I don’t normally enjoy.  But there are always exceptions. And this is one:

Never listen to Dommin if you are having a rough go of it. Don’t mistake me, I love the music and listen regularly to their updates. That being said, having the phrase, “My world is falling into ashes, and living in the past is, all that I can do” is probably not the best phrase to have rattling around when you are missing people.
