The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #564: Thirteenth Hour Sequel Update 13 - Musical Interlude - Making an Ending Theme in F

This week, I'm working on an idea for a new ending(?) song for The Thirteenth Hour sequel. I don't have the lyrics yet and only a vague idea of what it will be about (acceptance? integration? family trauma? I don't know yet exactly ... I have heard this kind of story is called a "second coming of age" tale since it's more about the shift into middle adulthood), but I have the chords for the verse and chorus and some riffs that I started playing around with this episode.

The parts of the song so far are:

-Intro riff in F Bb Dm C

-Verse in F Bb Dm C

-Chorus riff in F Dm Bb C

-Outro arpeggio riff with a descending L hand chord progression in F Dm Bb C

I thought it would be nice if this song were a duet (perhaps between Logan and Aurora, so a male and female part), or maybe just sung from Aurora's voice. I have just sung the ones intended to be sung by her before (since most could go either way), but since this book is really her story, there are some that really can only be sung by a female. So that will be a project for the next soundtrack.

More next week!

Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form!

It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music. (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.)

-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:
