Hey Guys, I would like to present my latest metal single, "Faust". Feel free to share your opinion, and leave a comment! Between my thoughts of despair, I made a deal, with the hell, With Mephisto in the night, I traded my soul for endless might. I played with the hell's hot flame, I wanted knowledge, youth, and fame, But the price I paid was high, I will fall down after I reach the sky. Promises of power, promises of gold, But the emptiness within is so cold, Bound by chains of my own horrible desire, I’ll be lost in the realm of eternal fire, oh. Between my thoughts of despair, I made a deal, with the hell, With Mephisto in the night, I traded my soul for endless might. I played with the hell's hot flame, I wanted knowledge, youth, and fame, But the price I paid was high, I will fall down after I reach the sky. Now I roam these streets alone, Haunted by the seeds I've sown, The echoes of my despair ring, In the song the devil sings. Promises of power, promises of gold, But the emptiness within is so cold, Bound by chains of my own horrible desire, I’ll be lost in the realm of eternal fire, oh. I danced with the demon's flame, I wanted knowledge, youth, and fame, But the price I paid was high, This is the ruthless lesson I learned, My name is Faust and I will burn.

Alright, I made some revisions to my piece. Not everything with the MIDI version is perfect (gradual tempo changes straight up don't work), and when I tried to add dynamics my computer crashed so there isn't any of that here either. But hopefully this will at least give you an idea as to where this thing is going.

This is a setting of the Goethe poem Erlkönig that I decided to write after discovering Beethoven's version of the piece. Please be constructive with your feedback, I'm very proud of this piece.

Hello all! I've been composing for quite some time now, but I'm new to this forum. It seems like a really cool place though. Here's my first Lied I've ever written, a setting of Goethe's Wandrer's Nachtlied. I got a complaint from someone else that the music is "too depressing" for the words, but I disagree with him entirely. What do you guys think? Comments on the music are also encouraged. Thanks in advance. The poem and its translation can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanderer's_Nightsong Also a quick note, the Gb chord in m16 is meant to function as an F# chord going to the B minor section, I just didn't want to use all those accidentals.
