My New Demonic Choir-Guitar Song

[MattMVS7]

Although I don't have the knowledge and experience in music theory and harmony to actually create a fully perfected song and since it would take me perhaps years to learn all the music theory and such that I would need to create a fully perfected song, I am just going to share to you this song I have made now because I just wish to share it anyway and to share the intended emotion that this song conveys although it is not fully perfected and might very well be very flawed in terms of harmony and music theory. I just wish to share my conveyed feelings in composing anyway and to share my musical ideas anyway despite my lack of musical knowledge.

This song I have actually composed (though I have composed the male choir and normal guitar part. The rest that is added later on in the video I remixed into my song). I regard this as my best song ever made. It consists of a male choir which is supposed to have a harsh supernatural destructive feel along with the guitar which also has this harsh feel as well and they both go together perfectly to portray this harsh supernatural awesome powerful destructive feel. In addition, you also hear a mysterious epic tune along with a fast-playing guitar later on in the video as well. This song is supposed to be the same idea as the song Chimimouryou from Inuyasha which also has a supernatural choir that rises and lowers in pitch like mine. Although my version has a male choir rising and lowering in pitch while the version in the song Chimimouryou has a female choir rising and lowering in pitch.

I just wish for you to share your feelings and such about my song since that was my intended goal here which was to share my own personal musical ideas and conveyed feelings and to talk about them anyway since that is what is most important to me here.

The reason why I explain so much is because I wish to get every thought I have about my song off my mind, I wish to get it through your head how my song is supposed to feel in order for you to possibly feel from this song the way I do and to get the general idea and intended emotions of it across to you, and to make myself absolutely clear.

Okay, you're starting to explore sounds that remind you of what you heard in Chimimouryou. Cool. I don't think you need to explain stuff so much, though - I mean, music's to be listened to, not talked about, right?

I got a question. You're fascinated by that 'powerful, destructive demon' stuff, right? What kind of music would you come up with if you kept the element of power but explored the experience of love? Nudge, nudge.

And that's what you don't understand - music that needs to be explained, music that needs an instruction manual, is crappy music. Good music requires no explanatory accompaniment, it stands on its own. You say: "I wish to get it through your head how my song is supposed to feel." What I wish to get through YOUR head is that people just feel whatever they feel when they listen to music, and a long, detailed, boring explanation isn't going to make them feel any different, even if the long, detailed, boring explanation helps them understand what the artist was trying to accomplish.

But maybe your motivation isn't to make good music, though. Maybe your motivation is to try to get somebody to understand you. You don't need an audience for that, you need a friend or a counsellor.

Next, you completely dodged my suggestion to try some music that centered on something other than comic book powerful destructive demons. How come?

I'm not sure I got this.
Can you upload the songs separately and post the explanations here instead of in a youtube video?

As for your question there, my dream in life is to actually compose music for the world of Zelda and the world of anime (Japanese cartoons) of all different types of conveyed feelings.

I'm just going to describe my next mix. Seems legit.

It sounds like you've got some pretty cool sonic ideas going on here, but slogging through 8 minutes of video and 2+ walls of text for 30 seconds of music just doesn't seem worth it. Here would be my suggestions to make it more palatable:
Upload it as a series of vines - If the music is only going for <7 seconds at a time, why not use a video format that lends itself to that?
Consolidate the clips that feature your music into a shorter video - cut out the beginning and end text scrawl (that's what annotations and the description are for), and cut out all the silent parts in the beginning.
