Grey's melodies
Welp.. This is pretty much a tradition at this point. Me popping up after a few years, only to leave for a few years more lmao I hope to make more melodies going forward (do not hold me to that) but things have been really busy, so we shall see about that. Hope everyone's been doing well PS: I made this melody with no direction in mind, which means I'll probably dislike it when I wake up tomorrow haha
So.. It's been almost two years since I last posted a *proper* melody. My latest one was a test for secret shenanigans. But yeah, explanation: Mainly, I lost my motivation. I have quite a bit of mental health issues going on and sometimes they can get worse than usual. Nothing to be concerned about though. I have my meds and my psychologist, so it's all good. It was just meant to be a break, but it ended up becoming one hell of a hiatus. It wasn't just mental stuff though. My other reason for the break was due to all of the bullshit that took place on this site later on. It completely broke my passion and I decided that I wouldn't post or interract with this site until the issues had been resolved. Luckily, the people behind musicboxmaniacs actually really do care, so eventually they got it fixed. It'll probably take a bit for me to get into this again, but I'm working on it ^^ That being said Have a lovely day <3 PS: Time to go through 1158 unread notifications PPS:...ooor at least *try* to..
Yeah, I know I've been gone for quite a while but there's no time to heckin' explain O-o Kal and I are on a secret mission so everybody, hold yer horses dangit (well except for Robo, you can hold Fluttershy or whatever) Kal.. you know what to do.. ò-ó
Written by Margit Holmberg. Trollmors Vaggvisa ("Troll-mother's Lullaby"..? Yeah..? Yeah.) is by far my favorite lullaby, nursery rhyme, whatever you call it, of all time. It has stuck with me through all of my life and I still love it just as much as when my mother sung it to me. Swedish lyrics: "När trollmor har lagt sina elva små troll.." "..och bundit fast dom i svansen." "Då sjunger hon sakta för elva små trollen.." "..de vackraste ord hon känner:" "Hoajajajaj buff.." "Hoajajajaj buff.." "Hoajajajaj buff.. buff.." "Hoajajajaj buff.." I don't think there's any english lyrics for this one.. but... maybe I can translate the swedish and try to modify the wording to make everything fit the melody.. if someone wants me to..? ..to the best of my abilities, that is.. XD
I'm not too sure about this one.. I made the original version of this over at Online Sequencer so all of the instruments being turned into musicboxes makes the melody sound kinda.. ..jumbled. And there's no drums! Which is understandable, but gosh darnit! All mah hard work! The drums weren't that impressive -but still! XD Anyways. This was actually really fun to work on (over at the other site that is.. I did shit-all here XD) so if you're interested in the other version: https://onlinesequencer.net/1276809 I'm probably just being silly but I feel like I might've come off as an asshole in this description..? If so, let me get this clear: Mbm is my home and I'll always prefer this place to any other melody-makin' place. .....Yeah, no one cares, do they? I'mma shut up now.
Happy New Year! It's time to miserably fail some resolutions again. Perfect! So this is a song performed by a lil' man named Kalle Moraeus (..no shit..) and it has been my favorite Swedish song for as long as I can remember. I decided to trim it a little to avoid too much repetition... cause..... there's quite a lot of it XD Anyways.. I've been thinking about "music-box-ify-ing" some classic Swedish nursery rhymes, maybe? Yeah..? Yes, I know, I've been mentioning Sweden waaaaaaay too much lately.. but... I don't know... maybe it's interesting? Eh, whatever. Ha en trevlig dag
I've dabbled some more.. The music-box version of this one might be a bit deafning.. Sorry about that. The site's pretty interesting though, not gonna lie. I've been feeling like absolute shit the last couple of days, so it has definitely kept some of the abusive thoughts away from me. In any case.. https://onlinesequencer.net/1277127 This one's a bit repetitive, isn't it? Welp :P
Holy crap.. After listening to Kaleidiope's melody "Saudade" I decided that "heck it, I'm gonna dabble on that site a little bit... for a few minutes maybe.." Sweet jaysus... ..hours upon hours upon hours upon hours.. ..took a while before I realized that it'd probably be a good idea to make an account while I'm at it.. https://onlinesequencer.net/1275783 (..yes, I used the Greg-bot as a profile, don't judge me, I'm tired..)
Woah.. This is about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.. who could'a thunk it? Ah yes, yet another one of my disorders. You could almost define me by them at this point. Anyways.. this is the chorus of a half-written song I've made and played on my guitar a couple of years ago. I've realized that a lot of my melodies are ones I've made in the past, and there's even lyrics to some of them. "A Better Path", "Gift" and "Living Dream" are some of the ones I've played on guitar. "Someone Trustworthy", "Outside", "On a stroll", "Ferocious" and "Scribble" are some of the ones I've sung/hummed. ..aaand "Waltz by the Birch" and "Creator" are the ones I've played on piano. I'm pretty sure I've missed some but who cares. ..I'm curious now.. How many of you does this as well? "Music-box-ify" melodies you've made in the past, that is? (Also.. yeah I know.. "music-box-ify" isn't a word.. but I'm still sticking to it, goddamnit..)
This was meant to be uploaded on halloween but... I kinda forgot... ..whoops... Anyways, props to Robo for suggesting that I'd draw myself a profile pic once and for all :D ..I mean I've only been around for like two years or something.. Welp.. HAPPY HALLO-wait..
Swedish coffee-commercial! This is a version of "Tiny Grain by Cecilia Nyquist" now sung by Charlotte Almgren. It's this version that most swedes are used to hear on TV because.. .......coffee-commercial..... This and the original took such a long frickin' time to make, dude, holy crap. I've been really unmotivated so after some time I decided that I wasn't allowed to check my notifications on here until I was done with these two. So.... I guess it worked? ...yeah? Anyway.. Hopefully I can be a little bit more persistent once again. :P Let us see how it goes, shall we? ps: There wasn't enough space to make the entire song, sooo... yep... sorry if it ends a bit abruptly.
I didn't want to take too much time making this one. Feels like it would just end up in the drafts like the other ones, y'know? So.. yep. No clue what to write here... Might as well fill some space up with unnecessary... words... and... letters... Man, I miss letters... y'know?.. Now all you get is.. one christmas-card a year and.. and bills.. I miss the good ol' letters.. :c
Pretty short one. I feel like the chords in this are a bit similar to some of the ones in the soundtrack from Little Nightmares, so all I can imagine is a little yellow raincoat child running from long-armed-m'gee over 'ere.
For several years I've suffered from MDD (Maladaptive Daydreaming Disorder) although I didn't know there was an actual name for it until about a year ago. I've never really opened up about this, since it's something I'm very embarrassed and self-conscious about, and it can be very difficult to talk about it since alot of people likes to think they know exactly what I'm talking about. Just saying things like: "everyone daydreams" or "it's normal" or "yeah, When I was a kid I used to daydream too" I often lose my perception of time cause of my constant daydreaming. This is a genuine addiction, but what's worse is the fact that it's ALWAYS available. I forget to eat, I can't sleep, and it both mentally and physically breaks me down if I try to escape. The point is... I kinda want to thank this site for existing. Sounds dumb, but since I don't have that many friends (social phobia, my man) this site is pretty much the only place where I don't feel the need to daydream. I seriously have no idea where I would've been if I didn't find this place.. So.. If anyone stubles upon this melody and wants to know more about.. my MDD-situation, I guess..? Then feel free to ask me about it. I feel like I can be open about it here. <3
I really like Robobermann's melody "HEY!" so I thought I'd try to make it longer out of curiosity. (Hope you don't mind man) Welp...first time I copied a melody and I feel a tad bit gross :D
Alright, so... I've felt like shit for quite a while now. Which is the main reason to why I haven't been uploading too much. I'm not really feeling sad, at least not if I constantly keep myself occupied with watching videos and all of that, but it's more so the feeling of being "empty" y'know. ...which isn't really a feeling. It's a pain in the ass though. My sleep schedule is all messed up and I find it difficult to get motivated in general. Even writing all of this makes me feel selfish or, at least, like an "attention-seeker" or something. I just don't want to seem distant since this is one of the few places where I always feel like I can be my genuine self. So yeah, you guys are seriously the greatest. ❤ Sorry for the rant by the way. :P And I am getting help, just so you know. So, no worries. :)
WHOA! Why did I use up all of my energy to musicbox-ify this, you wonder? BECAUSE JOHN POWELL, GODDAMNED IT! I DON'T THINK YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF BREATH WHEN TYPING IN ALL CAPS, YET HERE WE ARE! ... ... ...birds? ... ... ...I think I might be a tad bit sleep deprived...
I'm just imagining a curious little girl searching through drawers and cabinets in an old house, remembering something awful that happened in her past.
Heads up! Short one this time! ..."heads up" is a dumb thing to shout at someone, when you think about it. I mean... it's usually about a "flying object coming your way" type of situation, so it doesn't really make too much sense. ...yeah, I know you can shout "Duck!", but if its me we're talking about, I'll just get excited and shout "Where??" instead...
Welp... ...isn't this repetitive... ...meh...
Alright... so if you haven't checked Kan Gao's games out, you've been missing out on some heart-wrenching yet beautiful shit. He's great! :D Also, I've always wanted to musicbox-ify this melody since it's one of my favorites of his.
I'm trying to get more motivated and wake up on time. ... ... ...woke up like four in the afternoon... welp ...I'm doing great.
Pretty short one this time. Possibly might make more of it maybe. Top-notch grammar right there^
I know it's been like a month since I last posted a melody. Just haven't been feeling that great. I'll try to post more often. :)
My brother asked me if I could "music-box-ify" this and I was up for it. ...little did I know, making this would take a long-ass time... But I feel like it's somewhat finished now.. so... there ya go. :] Also... Please, look up the original one (in the library) on Epidemic Sound for your own sake. It's incredible.
...traditional Swedish Christmas song seemed fitting at the moment... Here's some of the lyrics: Staffan var en stalledräng, vi tackom nu så gärna, han vattna' sina fålar fem, allt för den ljusa stjärna. Ingen dager synes än, stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka. God Jul
I'm imagining someone running around in a house, packing their bag as fast as they can and getting the hell out of there. ...pretty much me every morning, if I'm gonna be honest...
But... but why? Why did I frantically blast through a bunch of Mario death sound effects just to find this one, only to spend like ten minutes listening to it in slow motion so that I could make a melody out of it...? Time well spent. :3
Monotonous... big word... big word for boring... Synonyms... pretty good to have once in a while... ...it's like 3:15 in the morning over here, I'm tired alright? G'night fellas.
Some parts of this are a bit similar to another melody I've made in the past (Bedtime Story). Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing... eh...
