By popular demand (well, one -
deslacoda ) here's the MIDI and tablature pack for "Lazarus", a song of mine from about 2006. It's the first tab that I've made using the automated MOD-MIDI converter that I wrote a while ago - it still took a lot of going over manually in Guitar Pro 5 once it was imported, but by doing the bulk of the work for me it allowed me to have it finished in one day rather than a couple of weeks! And it would probably have taken longer than that, too, because it has the most channels of any MIDI I've yet made - the normal percussion, bass, rhythm, two guitars, three voices, and string chords, along with a harpsichord, piano, two trumpets, two choir tracks, and an organ.
I've got to say I really like this one - it was my featured submission for a while here. I was certainly proud when a commenter on the Mod Archive said, completely unprompted, that it sounded a bit like Helloween :)
[Lyrics]
You are the one who never lived
Although I saw your every minute in my mind
The visions of your life I've seen
But now they're fading, you were never meant to die
The light of my obsession
A victim of oppression
Freedom you have earned
We made the world together
And it should be forever
You must now return
Now these memories won't let me
Live my life alone
This touch will heal your lifeless heart
Revive your broken bones
I will not let you rest in peace
While I have life to give
And through the power I have made
Forever you shall live
You are the one who freed my mind
You made me realize who I was through all this time
An icon of my fantasy
But all this time I didn't know that you could die
In time I heard your calling
And then I saw you falling
Into dreams so deep
And trapped in time I'll keep you
Until the day I reach you
Wake you from your deadly sleep
Now these memories won't let me
Live my life alone
This touch will heal your lifeless heart
Revive your broken bones
I will not let you rest in peace
While I have life to give
And through the power I have made
Forever you shall live
Through worlds divided
We'll be united
Infinity before you, forever in your wake
We shall be together
Still not forever
A fragment of your lifespan
For I am now the one who will die
Memories won't let me
Live my life alone
This touch will heal your lifeless heart
Revive your broken bones
I will not let you rest in peace
While I have life to give
And through the power I have made
Forever
I will reach you from the other side
The world that you have seen
Recognize my voice, open your eyes
And wake up from your dream
Then the fanfare will be heard
To let them know that you're alive
Scream the victory across the world
I brought you back to life

It really was! It would certainly have taken me a lot longer to do this without it - it reads the MOD file and produces a set of MIDI notes for it, then I still have to go through, pull things around where a direct conversion just doesn't work, and add the finishing touches like dynamics and (possibly the most time-consuming part) fingering for the tab. I do need to make a special case for the rhythm guitar part, as that still needs a lot of work from me just now!
