I just got news that my grandfather, Ken Riley, is back in the hospital for heart surgery. He was going to be let go today but his heart started to give and it's gotten worse since then...

my next song is going to be taken from Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX and will be dedicated to him

Short. Sweet.

After a LOT of failures at making this song, I've decided to postpone this until further notice.
Probably won't happen but maybe later once i have a revelation with what to do with it

anyway, I've been obsessed with Portal, a new game from Valve in the Half Life 2 Orange Box. I've also fallen in love with the ending song Still Alive and thats my next mix!

Morning lol... its like 6 30 and i got to bed last night at 12 mixing this so I'm tired
Today starts drivers ed and also starts the life of Clock Rock Town.

Not much to say about why I did it, I wanted to submit something in 6/8 rather than the usual 4/4 just to be a bit different. I also wanted to try some drums with it I think it worked out rather well. Anyway I hope you all enjoy I haves to go get ready for skool I'll start thinking about a new song tonight and who knows it might be up by tomorrow (I have my doubts though lol)


Posted by Manamaniac - January 6th, 2008


I can't believe it
Even though its not many votes all of my songs now are above a 3/5 rating!!
I don't think anyone could imagine how happy I am right now finding that out

Anyway to those who may end up reading this, I'm having a short writers block right now and I'm working on some ideas in 12/8 but I'm not sure where I'm going with it.

Be back soon with another update,

Mike
