Finally I can share with you one of my first songs, completely inspired by Mike Oldfield.
I composed this song about 8 years ago, but I never liked the arrangement, and never really released it to the public.

Now here it is:

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi,

Really enjoyable!

I like the way it developed, kept on changing, and kept me interested the whole way through.

Keep it up!

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Terry.

What does "Kurai Hikari" mean? Nothing like tenkai kote hineri, presumably :laugh:

Thanks all your comments.

Kurai Hikari means "Dark Light", and it's supposed to represent the arrival of a storm.

The first 2 movements, Toaru Asa (A certain morning) is kind the calm before the storm.
The First movement is supposed to be before there is any sing of a storm, and on the second the first suspicious clouds start to appear.
By the Third Movement, Kurai Hikari (Dark Light), the clouds are already forthcoming a storm.
And finally by the last movement, Kurai Ikazuchi (Dark Thunder), is the movement of the storm.

But really by the end of the everything is just music, so you as long as you like it the supposed meaning really means nothing :P
