Alchemical | Shirian Original

Hey. You wanna know something insane.
This song was a WIP for THREE YEARS.
Good to have finally given it an ending, seriously, that took so long to figure out. I went to multiple musician-filled discord servers for suggestions midway through making this. It felt like I was forming an archive of knowledge from various scholars.

Literally a song about writing)
-Sitting with hands on face like here for hours... Days... Months...
-Making up some words (sudden middle lyrics)
-Repeating

[@owl-moniker-athy]

Hahaha, I love this interpretation, honestly! The process of writing can be very similar to what's going on here. The middle lyrics, I will say, are actual words, just not English ones. They're Latin! :D

[@user-zk4jt2tj8s]

I hear the resemblance to many games I have played starbound, the escapists two castle dlc, The legend of Zelda and Teardown Along with A song from Miracle of sound. This song also has the feel of despair but the ability to make something great.
Edit: the song is Halfmans song from Miracle of sound. It is similar because of the beat and medieval feel.

[@owl-moniker-athy]

Oooh, lovely observations! It might interest you to know that I took a bit of inspiration from a few songs from the Ultima soundtrack, as well as an artist who goes by savfk. And you're right, that medieval vibe is absolutely part of what I wanted to go for here. I can see why those games come to mind for you!

Adding a comment here so the algorithm can do whatever it does, lol. This is amazing!!!!!!

[@owl-moniker-athy]

Thank you so much, haha! May the algorithm deities be ever in our favour 👏

[@williamcolgan5647]

the mixture of colours in the background appeals to my eyes

[@williamcolgan5647]

also i translated the words from Latin to English and this is what I got:
Solanaceae will give acorns, and the black nightshade of the unicorn's blood will also be awakened

[@owl-moniker-athy]

@@williamcolgan5647 Glad to hear it!
Since you attempted some translation, I'll give it to you:
Solanaceae is the Latin name for plants in the nightshade family, aconitum the Latin name for wolfsbane
black nightshade you got right,
Then yep, unicorn blood,
and the last part roughly translates to “we awaken” or “let us awaken”
