"Untitled" is about how people have different perceptions about life and the obstacles that accompany it. Some people are optimistic while others are pessimistic. I recall coming up with this thinking of an intro. It's actually inspired by "Pigs on the wing" by Pink Floyd. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Rock intro
"Lovelorn Behemoth" is about Ill fated attraction. As I listened to early Anathema I became inspired to come up with this piece. Here we see a man's descent into dangerous territory. Similar in tone with the "Songless Song" except instead of harming the love interest this character contemplate self inflicted harm. Preferred genres (but not limited to) Atmospheric rock, Progressive rock. Haunting progressive chords with depressing singing. Album that inspired this piece: Alternative 4.
