So this months will be very light on paid posts (just this video and one song rather than 4-5 paid posts) as I've been taking a break. I have some ideas for March though so we'll see how things go! I'll post plans tomorrow (: Anyways, this song was made on a bit of a whim and I'm still not sure how it came out the way it did, but I'm super happy with it. A lot of these songs are written to test certiain skills and techniques to apply to bigger songs and I definitely learned some things here with mood, choir, drum beats (specifically the use of those blast beats), etc.

I made a very gentle song for Valentine's

-Support me on Patreon- ► http://bit.ly/shadypatreon ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ Gentle. It's a gentle song. Perfect for uh...love. (Okay it's legitimately one of my favorite songs I've written this year). Love and chocolates are pretty cool right? I like to get these special edition two-bite brownies every Valentine's because it has pink icing and a solid chocolate heart on top of it. Oh right I have to say things in this description so people can find me. Ahhh I'm here hey look. Alright that's enough. Now let me tell you about this other chocolate. Actually, I wanna sleep instead. So here's my video: "I made a very gentle song for Valentine's". I hope you enjoy! ═══════════════════════════════════════════════ -Want to commission me for music/soundtracks?
