================
We invent our characters to have perfect lives, without any conflict, hate or any of the problems that we have in this world. This is about the strange jealousy of our fictional creations, who can live in any world, at any time, in any way that we choose - the way that we want to ourselves.
I also tried to get away from the usual A-B-A-B-C-B song structure here and vary it a bit more (in fact, 'tried' isn't quite the right term - it just happened that way.) It has two different sections, the first in a minor key, changing to major about halfway through.
It features another borrowed instrumental, this time from "Canon in D" by Pachelbel. While I was writing the songs for this album I realized I was overusing its chord pattern, so I decided to put it in and get it over with.
[Lyrics]
A thousand lives to choose between
A million worlds in which to be
I watch your life, and though you aren't real
You can come back again and live my dream
You are a mystery - we'll never know where you exist
Such a proud enigma - as you look back at us
I have seen you all my life
Existing there instead of me
With each of you a gateway to a world I want to hide
And you appear again to follow me
As we see the perfect life you lead
You're a king in all the worlds you've seen
And the power of thought that we give you
Sustains your life behind the screen
A million of us watch your life
In your emotion we all share
Sides of good and evil, sides of right and wrong
Life is that simple for you there
You are a mystery - we'll never know where you exist
Such a proud enigma - as you look back at us
Savior of a thousand worlds
You can choose your time
I have seen you disappear and live again
And I see you, want to be you
But I know that in the end
We live a thousand worlds away
I want to be the hero of the hour
To be the star in everybody's eyes
And when they see my image running through the sky
Then they will know that I am still alive
[Instrumental: Canon in D]
Wouldn't you like to live as me
For just a day of your life
I'll let you taste the world you crave
For just a moment in time
I want to be the hero of the hour
To be the star in everybody's eyes
And when they see my image running through the sky
Then they will know that I am still alive
I want to be the hero of the hour
To be the star in everybody's eyes
And when they see my image running through the sky
Then they will know that I am still alive
The hero with a thousand lives
A hero who could never die
I see you running through the sky
But I must remain here

You have a unique still with all your compositions, when I listen to artists on here, I can easily seperate you from the rest because of your method of choosing the timbre... That impresses me =)
I would really love you to find a singer to sing some of the lyrics in these songs... Even if it's like one of those robot vocodor sounds, it would go well with the instrumentation.
Good Work Dave.

Thanks for the comment :)
The songs were written in .IT format, which is very similar to MIDI but with the instrument information stored in the file as well... my old artist page at http://www.modarchive.com/artists/wong_chung_bang/ has the original file under wcb-thousand.it, and it should be openable in Modplug Tracker or any similar tracking program if you want to take a look!

I was liking this as I first heard it. Then listening again and reading the lyrics, faving this and saving. The lyrics are good, giving a story and adding to the song itself (I react better to lyrics than just music by itself). I'd definitely wanna hear this if/when you get someone to sing your stuff.
as good as you are at making music, (which is really freaking amazing.) I think the lyrics you come up with for all your songs, is just as impressive. Its almost like poetry. I say almost, because I am not really that into poetry, but I think your lyrics are just plain awesome. They seem a lot more inspired then most professional song writers can come up with.
