Ooooooh
Chompy Maiden flies so sweet.
To all the ships in the Bone Fleet,
She smiles sharp and wide and well,
Then bites their shields and hulls to hell!Chompy Maiden is so strong,
She can never do a wrong,
‘Cause all the enemies she hits,
Explode and get all wrecked to shit!So if you think you can destroy
Chompy Maiden, she’ll enjoy,
Your crit ones and awful luck,
Your plan has failed, your ship is f–FIRE!
A tiny little ditty because work ran a little late. I’m not sure if it’s too reminiscent of something in particular, but I might get back to this in the future?
Also, I couldn’t export the mp3 file for some reason, hence link instead.
lyrics adapted from Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye
(but, honestly, inspired by the gorgeous TAZ fanart that used it by @kaylabarart)
I should probably learn how to use garage band or something… because flat.io is really meant for just generating sheet music not making songs, and it’s annoying to have to copy paste by measures instead of just telling a program to loop this thing.
But it was pretty fun to make, regardless?
Oh baby I’m a one hit wonder,
you ready to be a bit under-
whelmed.

A/N: A quick little song–I realized it was fifteen minutes to midnight and I came up with this little thing and wanted to see how fast the turn around for song transcription/composing was for something as short as this.
An hour. For five measures. Which is… well… considering with film it’s approximately an hour of filming for one minute of actual footage, that kind of tracks? And given I’m not actually trained in this and have a somewhat suspect ear for notes I guess it’s not bad.
The Ballad of the Traitor’s Wife by Silver Queen
I woke up in the morning and saw the mountain there
It was a common sight that drove me to despair,
If I tip my head [right] back, and say [my] prayers to the sky,
If I reach into the blue[ness], will I soon learn [how] to fly?To the right there is a forest, deep and dark and feared,
To the left there is an ocean, a crossing none have dared,
Behind me holds no safety, not for one such as I,
Either to the mountain, I must go, or I shall surely die,I could have been a soldier, or a dancer, or a tree,
I could have been farmer or a merchant or a queen,
Instead I married a man, who turned out to be a thief
Who died and left me nothing but betrayal and helpless griefIf I must, I’ll be an inchworm, if I must I’ll be a snake
But you won’t [stop me/keep me from] moving, when there is so much at stake.
So I became a killer, a murderer [and/a] thief,
No choice [except/but] the Shinobi’s life for me,
~
Last version!
So, remember those posts in which I tried to fit Silver Queen’s lyrics to music and could only convey the idea via my own mediocre singing voice? Well, now I have mediocre sheet music creation instead!
I was very repetitive with the melody, so same as the “Epic Version” this is literally every stanza of the song ad nauseum. The two different instruments are the same–I just wanted the sound of both playing in the mp3.
This was pretty good practice! 😀 I hope you all enjoyed it, at least a little.

Second of three versions!

I was very repetitive with the melody, so this is literally every stanza of the song ad nauseum. The two different instruments are the same–I just wanted the sound of both playing in the mp3. Last version is queued up as well because I’m a little low on prompts to respond to.

I was very repetitive with the melody–especially so with this “Country Version”–and so this is literally every two lines of the song ad nauseum. I also did the other two versions so those are queued up as well because I’m a little low on prompts to respond to.
I’m just looking for a
little piece, of mind. Just a
little peace of mind, to
have and hold.
I don’t need a
whole, a part’s just fine. Just a
part to claim as mine to
fill this hole.
‘Cause inside me is a void
that I should stop trying to avoid:
the truth.
I’m unwell, there I’ve said it.
I’m unwell, don’t you get it?
It’s just me and my depression!
~
A/N: I made a song! About depression! … not that today was particularly bad–mentally, that is–I just wanted to try my hand at composing? I dunno~ I’ll admit at some points I perhaps got a little too influenced by Beauty and the Beast?
Technically, I finished this before midnight, but then I got fussy about the typos in the lyrics so I had to fix it…
Seriously, this is what happens when I don’t have any prompts… Please head over to my ask box for the Ask Box Advent Calendar!
