Epilogue? I'm finishing my Monochrome project. CD will be ready soon. So I thought I would something a bit ironic - or not. Problem: Can't sing. So now I've remixed with some distortion on the voice (if anyone gifted in the vocal department would like to sing this, please let me know).
Well, enough talk. Give me a few comments, and I'll never sing again (yeah right).
Epilogue
Lyrics:
You’re at the end of the road
And nothing seems done
This impressive endeavour
Seems empty and gone
The efforts and long nights
No joy and no fun
Why keep it up
Trying over and over
Why stay in the race
Getting sadder and lower
There are people who say
Keep up the good work
We enjoy what you do
We like what we’ve heard
But the people are few
The notion’s absurd
Why keep it up
Longing for glory
Why prolong fighting
Should just end this story
I’m enjoying the process, consuming the outcome
My mood is improving, and time is just flying
The spring time is here, no more time for music
Some say creation is fun
Don’t know what they’re thinking
You don’t see the sun
No light leaves you blinking
You’re recluse and away
Your trials are unceasing
Why keep it up
Thinking you’ve got some
Talent, but no
It’s just plain and dumb
[Ballad] Epilogue

In a very odd melancholic way this spoke to me very much. What a difference though and step outside the monochrome project. The guitar just sounds great in this very accoustic piece.
So ironic eh? Well in my book you rank high as the talented ones

Thank you Mystahr. I'm very ambivalent on this. It started out as an ironic commentary on a project that I think has marked my "rebirth" as a musician.
(Oh no, ramble mode - and serious - forgive me).
I've played guitar (and a little trumpet) in bands since 1984. The same band from 1990 to 2000. The 10-year band was a very traditionel bunch. We each stuck to our instruments, and the worst you could say of a performance was: that sounds weird / strange. For about two years - after a three year musical hiatus - I've been struggling to free myself from this musical fundamentalism via the computer. The Monochrome project is at the same time a farewell to the struggle (I'm free - I've found a valid voice outside the traditional rythmic music/band metaphor) and a hello to the future: Lots of exploration to be done (esp. playing live).
So, ironic? The lyrics is ironic in that I'm very pleased with the process and outcome of Monochrome. The music (and performance?) of the song is another story though. The odd melancholy is there. Go figure what it means?

I listened to one of the monochrome tracks a while back, and this makes an interesting counterpoint.
it is a curiously moving piece, especially after reading your reasons for making it. I think the lyrical content speaks to many of us who are moved/driven to produce art.
very cool
thanks for posting and sharing your deeper thoughts.

suburban: Thank you very much. It's strange sharing something so far of ones chosen track (no pun ... or pun, indeed).

Bumping a thread for a non-existent track. Post-modern! 
Or else the link isn't working.

I'll send you a link if you would consider covering it (or just providing a decent vocal )
