2020 September Monthly Contest

[Lopyt]

With this, I am trying to be original in the sad sound, instead of opting for generic sadness. There are a few emotions used in the song to provide contrast and tell a story. Also I have made the song rather dark sounding, perhaps a little spooky. This is perhaps a state of disbelief for the character in the song. Feel free to interpret it as you wish (also tellme about your interpretations, I am interested to hear what others think I am trying to express)

Some sad songs (not specific to OS) like to just say 'I'm sad' or 'this is sad'. This is fine, but I feel some songs can hit harder when I make a story that shows the cycle of sadness and anger and hopelessness that consumes you after a tragic event. I think a good example of this is Opeth's "Serenity Painted Death." It shows a cycle of a few different emotions that make up its distinctive and specific mood. This concept is what I tried to use in this contest entry.
