This song is an original piece I did and was inspired by a little story. The story goes as follows:

Once upon a time there was a warrior, one who slayed dragons and brought justice to civilization. But one night, as he traveled home, he noticed something about his home village: all the lights were out. Not a candle lit or a torch burning. All that could be seen was darkness and all that could be heard were crickets. As the warrior came to his home village, he was tired and needed a place to rest, but there was none. Most of the residents had a "Welcome" mat on their porches but it was apparent that none meant it when compared to the warrior, for this was his home village and he needed a place to rest, but there was none. And thus, the warrior slept on the ground.

In this song, I tried to capture the sense of loneliness in the warrior's heart and quiet village with no life except for the crickets. I hope you enjoy my song. Oh, and it's supposed to loop.

I assume that the warrior was returning to the Shizz. Right?

"It's a small world after all!" Ibby, I had no idea you made an account here! :D

I checked out the rating you gave me and, well, I don't know whether that meant 0/5 stars or simply 5 stars out of something. However, seeing "Burn your house" made my day and I laughed for a good two minutes. :) It's amazing how much I tell people on the internet and how little I do in real life.

So, yeah, good to see you here.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't burn down houses?

Lies.

Let's just say I have a quota. It's raining today so I'll have to kick it up a notch tomorrow if I want to fulfill my weekly goal.

I have derailed my own thread. Yay! extra_smug

I actually thought it sounded like something from The Nightmare Before Christmas, or Tim Burton movies in general.

Shifty Leader

That M2k2 guy

Reminds me more of some RPG. I can't pinpoint a series, though perhaps I'm reminded slightly of something from FF9.

Good song, but I seriously want to kill those crickets.

Thanks for the comments, guys! I know the crickets can be distracting, but I assure you that if the song were to take place in an RPG with the same scenario as the story above that the song would make sense, especially because of the crickets. It adds to the mood. The same goes for the simple chords, as I wanted something very slow and lonely.

JaggerG is right on the ball. In fact, any song of mine in C minor reminds myself of FF9 as well, even though that game has no influence on my music at all, which is weird considering how I'm reminded nonetheless. Most of my influences come from Yasunori Mitsuda and Akira Yamaoka (wikipedia does wonders if you have no clue who these people are) and I'm only inspired to play Nobuo Uematsu's music (particularly from FF1) but not actually be influenced by him at all so it's a little odd as to how some of my music can sound like his music. In fact, Unwelcome Home reminds me of the FF9 game over theme and yet I don't listen to it often, let alone be inspired or influenced by it.

I still would say that the crickets should be tuned down a bit; they're almost as loud as the piano. Perhaps a slow fade to a lower volume of cricket noises would work, that way you could still keep them in. Also, the cut-out in the middle is very abrupt, I didn't expect that at all. Very awesome piece though.

Ahh I like this extra_smug

Good job...Square-worthy for sure. Sounds kind of like something from Legend of Mana.
