Last One Awake

All original. All lyrics and vocals by me.

It looks like I'm getting into the habit of finishing old songs and finally uploading them. This one has been sitting around for many months. The music was 99% finished, but most of the lyrics still had to be written and recorded. So today I decided to finish it once and for all. Perhaps I rushed the writing and recording process, but surprisingly, I am quite satisfied with the results. Listening to the final export, I realize that some of the vocals might be pretty quiet, but then I thought that would suit the theme of the song. You can't sing too loud when you're the last one awake. :)

Anyway, this song is basically about my strange sleeping patterns. For as long as I can remember, it has never been difficult for me to stay up all night (if I wanted to). So I have lots of experience being the "last one awake". Fortunately, I love the night and very early morning. I love how calm the world feels when everyone is sleeping.

I found this picture on google. It was not the type of image I originally had in mind, but right when I saw it, I knew I had to use it.

Thanks so much for listening! I hope to hear only your honest opinions.

Lastly, I wonder...can anyone guess my favorite part of the song?

 

Edit: Sorry, I should have included the lyrics. Here they are:

 

Night falls and everyone's falling asleep, but not me
Why am I always so full of energy (late at night)?

The world seems so empty, so quiet and so still...
Chorus:
When I'm the last one awake
it feels kind of post-apocalyptic, yeah!
Kind of like I'm the last survivor
of some kind of sleeping virus outbreak
I'm telling you, make no mistake
it looks like everybody's gone, now I'm alone
Kind of like I'm the last survivor
but it will only last until tomorrow morning

Hours feeling so endlessly long, but that's okay
I'll make the most of this night like you seize the day
('cause I say)
The world seems so empty, so quiet and so still...

Chorus

Solos...

Chorus

Eine Kleinigkeit wäre da noch. Ich konnte den Gesang nicht deutlich raushören. Es wird von der Musik etwas verdrängt -, !!

I know nothing about music. Only listened .. Using technology also makes possible for me to be able to make music.

  I am also into photography amateur.

I'm not here for stars score but coment with advice for improvement of my music.


at my coment on music of others, I remain honest. this must be mutual .

I give my voice just as public and not as someone who knows something from music.

 I'm open to all criticism. I want to learn something

greeting

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA
