Ma musique: Le projet 8-Bit Metal

Voici la musique que je fais. C'est un hobby qui prend beaucoup de temps, mais beaucoup moins qu'il n'en faut pour faire un jeu. Chaque chanson est inspirée d'un jeu en particulier, que vous pouvez découvrir avec les paroles en cliquant sur son titre ci-dessous. Vous pouvez les télécharger en format MP3 (cliquez avec le bouton droit et faites "Enregistrer sous..."). Allez-y, c'est gratuit; partagez-les ou servez-vous. Vous pouvez aussi me laisser vos commentaires ou me suggérer un choix de jeu pour une prochaine chanson. N'hésitez pas à .
 
J'ai créé un MySpace pour le projet que vous pouvez consulter au http://www.myspace.com/8bitmetal  
Et voici un petit lecteur Flash dans une manette de NES. Faites plaisir à vos oreilles, old-school style!

Chansons
 

Thirteenth Zodiac

(Inspiré de Final Fantasy Tactics. Merci à Jonathan Dagenais pour quelques parties de clavier et de cordes,
et pour l'aide avec la transition au refrain.)
 
Ramza:
Black and white
Two lions vie for the throne
Torn in the fight
Blood soaks the name I uphold
 
Lord above, where have we gone astray?
Every day, lives are taken away
Who are we to decide?
 
Shunned by the church and my own family
I must stay true to my beliefs
All the world's a stage but I just can't fit in
Like a thirteenth zodiac
 
Delita:
Open your mind and you will perceive
the voice of reason inside
Listen but once and you'll realize
That there is no divide
 
Les Lucavi:
Dare not oppose us, remember your status
By now you of all should know
Manipulation can be a solution
The end justifies any means
 
Ramza:
Tell me friend, where have your ideals gone?
Power will claim you before long
You cannot win this fight
 
Cast aside, forgotten by history
No one will know what I've seen
Demonic stones turning men into slaves
To the thirteenth zodiac
 
Les Lucavi:
Spoken from the sword, handed down from the stone
Spoken from the sword, handed down from the stone
 
Ramza:
Shunned by the church and my own family
I must stay true to my beliefs
All the world's a stage but I just can't fit in
Like a thirteenth zodiac
Cast aside, forgotten by history (Is this my fate?)
No one will know what I've seen (It's a nightmare)
Demonic stones turning men into slaves (For lust and greed)
To the thirteenth zodiac
 


Bloodlines

(Inspiré de Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.)
 
Richter:
Four years after the battle took place
Under the glare of the moon
Walking past the castle gate
One more time I'll fulfill my fate
 
Called by a voice which I can't ignore
Enticing sounds and twists of the tongue
Shaft:
A vampire hunter without a foe
Is dead and gone, and no hero
 
Listen to me and soon you will see
Immortality can be reached by glory
 
Richter:
Destroying evil with holy power
For centuries we have prevailed
You will be brought back but I guarantee
My bloodline will triumph again
 
Alucard:
The world has changed during my timeless rest
Evil has stirred, the balance's disturbed
Darkness and light, like a song out of tune
The shadows at night play a symphony of doom
 
Past the front gate and into the halls
Where chaos awaits, the unending sprawl
Someone has to be pulling the strings
Why would a Belmont do such a thing?
 
Blood of the sacred,
Blood of the damned,
Destinies woven
in one melody
 
Destroying evil with holy power
For centuries they have prevailed
Immortal father, I guarantee
Your bloodline will end on this day
 
Shaft:
Congratulations young master hunter,
You have achieved your one true goal...
Where will you go now? (You have no purpose)
What will you do now? (Your existence's absurd)
 
Richter:
Lord, what have I done?
 
Destroying evil with holy power
For centuries we have prevailed
You will be brought back but I guarantee
My bloodline will triumph again
Alucard:
Immortal father, I guarantee
Your bloodline will end on this day
 


Behind the Mask

(Première partie d'une trilogie inspirée de Final Fantasy IV.)
 
High in the sky
I'm facing alone
My darkness inside
So far from home
 
Could this be the chance
for me to atone
for the sins of my past
 
I hear the wind
It's whispering (in my ear)
A servant of doom
Guarding the tomb
 
Climbing the steps
I'm facing the test
To break from my past
And be free at last
 
And as darkness recedes
All becomes clear
Still I will go on
 
I see the Light
It shines so bright (feel the fear)
Piercing the black
Tearing down my mask
 
As I'm staring at myself
In the mirror someone else
stands alone facing me
This is who I've come to be
There's so much he wants to say
But he silently obeys
The orders he was given
By a dark sword shunned by heaven
 
I'm searching for my soul
Can I fill the hole (you can't)
Doubt takes its toll (again)
 
Facing the darkness
I'll conquer myself
And bring out my best
 
As I'm staring at myself
In the mirror someone else
stands alone facing me
This is who I've come to be
There's so much he wants to say
But he silently obeys
The orders that he received
From a father-King long buried
 
The Holy Light shines down on me
It revealed the face hidden behind the mask
The spineless man I was before
Is no more
 


The Founding of Booty Bay

(Inspiré de World of Warcraft.)
 
Baron Revilgaz & his crew:
Ev'ry one on lookout for the land of men!
(Ev'ry one on lookout for the land of men)
We've come to colonize,
to bring the Goblin dream alive.
 
(Land! Land!)
Now ye scurvy dogs...
(Land! Land!)
Shiver me timbers!
Looks like we've arrived
The Steamwheedle Cartel will thrive!
 
Heave-ho! (heave-ho!)
The ship she's a-turnin'
Heave-ho! (heave-ho!)
The fog's come rollin'!
Heave-ho! (heave-ho!)
Can't see where we're goin'!
Fleet Master Seahorn:
Starboard...Port!
 
Baron Revilgaz & his crew:
Crashed me ship in Booty Bay
Thought I might as well stay
Glitterin' prizes all around
Heave-ho...
 
(We crashed the ship in Booty Bay
Looks like it's there to stay
Get the rum, another round
For such a merry crowd!)
 
Mogh the Undying:
They come to defile our sacred temples,
but they will soon learn to stay away from the voodoo...
 
Zul'Dan ges mon
Fil'Zul Deloth mar
Fil'Los des Guth
 
Zul'Garrath es
Fel'Un Zen'Sma
Iga! Iga!
Felos Es
 
Grende Voo!
Grende Voo!
Grende voo!
Zan...
 
Random Murloc:
Rawgrlrlrlrrlglrl!!!
 
Duke Falrevere:
The Altar of Tides will soon sport their heads
Damned be that Baron I said!
The Bloodsail Buccaneers will win this fight
This vale and its riches will be mine
 
Baron Revilgaz & his crew:
I crashed me ship in Booty Bay
Thought I might as well stay
Glitt'ring prizes all around
Heave-ho
 
(We crashed the ship in Booty Bay
Looks like it's there to stay
Get the rum, another round
For such a merry crowd!)
 


Saving the World Barechested

(Inspiré de Contra.)
 
A meteor falling
Aliens invading
The future is darkened and dreary
A threat is emerging
Red Falcon looming
Send out the Contra force
 
Waist-deep in water we're wading along
To the heart of the island, to strike at the core
(Soon you'll know fear)
The enemy's here, this is our war
 
The world's fate rests on
their four shoulders
 
Contra Force is rising
Throughout the jungle machine guns are sounding the fight
Their bullets are speaking, defending our homes
They're fighting for a better future for all
For blue skies to shine again
 
(Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump!)
Avoid the falling rocks
(Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump!)
(Jump! Jump!)
To the top of the waterfall
 
The Red Falcon bleeds and falls to the ground
As we defeat all their soldiers around
Into their base, gate after gate
Shooting machines, blown down to smithereens
 
Contra Force is blazing
Throughout the snowy peaks and high-tech factories beyond
They're reaching the end of their struggle at last
The alien heart is the last thing to blast
Soon we'll be free again
 
Freedom has been won back
The Earth is at peace at last
 
Their battle was yours friends you must understand
These wars for your god, or for riches, for land,
Hurt us all in the end
 
Contra Force returning
Throughout the nations, celebrations resound
The lesson's been learned and united we'll stand
The future is bright and the skies blue again
The world's fate is ours to make
 
Five years later
The alien invaders
Have come back, repeating our history
Their spaceship is firing
Civilians are dying
The Alien Wars begin
 


Beyond the Mask

(Deuxième partie d'une trilogie inspirée de Final Fantasy IV.)
 
One to be born from a dragon
Hoisting the light and the dark
Arises high up in the sky to
The still-land above
 
Golbez:
Am I the chosen, the savior of my race?
The crystals are shedding their light silently
They're calling, they're holding the key
to my people's fate
 
Zemus:
Rise up my friend and do as I tell
Your deeds will be sung for centuries to come
 
Golbez:
Sometimes at night
I hear someone fight
Like a voice trapped inside
That is trying to bring back the light
I'm garbed all in black
but there's light left in me
How I wish you could see
Beyond the mask
 
Zemus:
The crystals will open the way to the moon
The crystals will open the way to the moon
 
Cecil:
He's just a dark knight
Shadows clouding his sight
He gave up the fight
And has forever forsaken the light
His soul is consumed
In darkness entombed
Now he's helpless to see
Beyond the mask
 
Golbez:
Who has been causing these evils before
Have I lost my mind or was I bound to obey?
Was I not speaking through my own voice
Was someone behind or even leading the way?
 
I wish I could say
Someone else made me do all these things
Against my own will
But I think that I may have
Resisted if not for a dark side in me
I'm guilty
 
Golbez & Cecil:
Brothers we are, born from the moon
Hoisting the light and the dark
We'll be rising, beyond the skies
And beyond our masks
 
Golbez:
The madman will pay for all he took away
My conscience, my free will, my existence itself
Were stolen from me to further his goals
But revenge will be mine
 
Golbez & Cecil:
One for myself
Two for my king
Three for our planet
And four for the sake of your kin
Hate, fear, regrets and the darkness they bring
Form a mask on ourselves we must break
Sometimes in life we aren't given a choice
But we can always strive to see the world
Beyond the mask


 

In the Year 200X

(Inspiré de Mega Man 2.)
 
Out in the night
Atop a skyscraper high
The city lights are shining on
And I know they're worth fighting for
 
I try my best to justify
The meaning of my quest
I long for peace and that is why
Ironically I have to fight
 
In 200X
When the world's in decay
And the heroes of yesterday passed away
A new man will rise
And for mankind he'll fight
In the year 200X
 
Running through the halls
of a maze of crystal and ice
The master waits beyond the gates
With the power to freeze time
 
When you face your demise
Your weapon will be mine
I can take on anything
As long as I keep trying
 
In 200X
When the world's in decay
And the heroes of yesterday passed away
A new man will rise
And for mankind he'll fight
In the year 200X
 
Oh, when will I see it?
(A mirror of the world)
Peace everlasting
(The battle's for)
Man and machine and nothing in between
 
In 200X
Fire spreads out
The oceans are swelling
And storms shake the ground
When science has failed
My heart and soul still prevail
I will save the world
 
In 200X
In the Year 200X
 



Hatred Eternal

(Dernière partie d'une trilogie inspirée de Final Fantasy IV.)
 
(Zeromus)
Hatred
Hatred Eternal
 
(Zemus)
Trapped inside the moon's core
For centuries I've grown so bitter
I tried to command
Other minds to claim a new land
 
My kin's home is gone
And the Blue Planet shined so bright
I said we should take
The humans' Earth and seal their fate
 
(Cecil)
Light guide my hand
For darkness consumes all
(Golbez)
Piercing the black
I'll make the madman pay
 
(Zeromus)
Blackened in chaos I mastered the void
A cosmos to doom and destroy
Galaxies die for all things must end
The stars are my will and they burn with pure
Hatred
Hatred Eternal
 
(Golbez)
So it ends for me
in the darkness of space
 
(Golbez & Cecil)
Redemption can be far
But never out of reach
 



Moon Sugar

(Based on The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. A Vision in a Dream: A Prelude.)
 
Yesterday quickly slips away
as the ship breaks the waves of my past
 
Dreaming quietly, today’s gone in a hurry
Images blurry of stars I can’t see
 
A little more sweet Moon Sugar and the Lady speaks once more to me
Apparently they’re taking me to the East and to my destiny
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
To Morrowind
 
Oooh…
Valleys of ashes, a scar and a wound
Or is it the Skooma that I have consumed?
I dreamt of mountains ripped apart
A golden mask hiding the blackest of hearts
 
Oooh…
Armies are marching to conquer these ancient lands
But the Devil sleeps beneath
Soon he’ll wake from his sleep
 
Oooh…
Ashes to ashes, a life left behind
Somehow this island can turn back the time
 
I dream of mountains no more when I see
Darkened skies plagued with the Blight clouds
that’ll spread beyond the seas
 
The Moon Sugar shows me the signs of my destiny
 



The Devil and the Incarnate

(Based on The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.)
 
Frontier, Conquest, the Legion marches
Praise the Nine Divines and the Empire
 
Freed from my cell, I was thrown in this land
Everyone's asking that I take a stand
I don't know what I should think
 
Colonization attempts have been made
The Empire's plan was to assimilate
The proud people of Morrowind
 
Scenes from a life left behind forming up in my mind
I know that I've been betrayed by my closest friends
 
The Tribunal Temple is weakened by the corrupt Heart
And the Devil speaks in dreams
His power grows unseen
 
Frontier, Conquest, the Legion marches
Praise the Nine Divines and the Empire
 
Born to uncertain parents,
on a certain day, to a certain sign
 
Seven visions I have seen
Woman, tell me: what do they mean?
 
The curses came and paved the way
for the stories of old forgotten ages ago
 
The people are besieged
as darkness spreads disease
and misery sweep this land high and low
from Ebonheart to the Sea of Ghosts
The ancient Immortal Evil is here
 
Am I the hero of prophecy who'll set them free?
Will I be marked as a traitor to my emperor?
 
The Ashlanders' trials proved I am St. Nerevar reborn
But the Devil has a scheme
And his reasons seem sincere
 
(Dagoth Ur:)
By the winds of the blight all shall feel the divine
And my house will arise from the ashes to life
I will provide them with their freedom of yore
to drive out the Empire and cast down the false gods
 
Never again will the skies turn to ashen gray
Now the Dreamers have been freed
Soon they'll wake from their sleep
 
There's still so much to do, I think I'll stay
in Morrowind
 



Where All Things End (Doom Castle)

(Reprise de "Doom Castle" du jeu Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Merci à Mitchell Emmen pour le solo de guitare!)
 
Dark King:
Come hither where all things end
At last
I'll rule
 
The one behind the 4 is
darker than the night, and rises midst the land!
 
Benjamin:
Dark King, we meet at last...
 
Dark King:
Indeed, and now you will serve me...
 
Benjamin:
No!
 
Dark King:
Welcome to the power of Darkness!
 
The crystals shine again
In the Focus Tower
Light flows in
 

 



The Duke Got Nuked

(Inspiré de Duke Nukem Forever.)
 
Let's rock!
 
Wake at noon, three beers soon
and a pack of smokes to boot
Another day waiting by
the phone for a call
 
9 years' time, I'm feeling fine,
I ain't past my prime
Just give me a piece
and I'll walk the streets
I'll blow their brains out
and dump my feces...bwahaha!
 
I'm gonna rip your head off and shit down your neck
Hail to the king baby!
Who wants some?
 
I miss the good old days
Reckless violence in the Red Light's haze
Oh yeah, hahahah
*Sigh*
"Glorified, steroidized
hoodlum on the run"
But now I'm just sitting around
Getting my check on the first of every month
 
You're an inspiration for birth control
You suck
 
I don't know why this is happening to me
I'm still waiting to play the next part
But nothing moves on
Feels like forever
 
When will I get to star again
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm s...ick of waiting
 
It's time to kick ass and chew bubble-gum...and I'm all out of gum.
 
Groovy!
Damn...I'm looking good!
 
I don't know why this is happening to me
I'm still waiting to play the next part
But nothing moves on
Feels like forever
 
When will I get to star again
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting, I'm s...ick of waiting
 
I'm trapped in my gym
Smoking and drinking and weightlifing
They promised me a new gig
But they let me down, time and time and time and time and time again
I guess the Duke got nuked...hah!
