Bluff

[@LighthoofDryden]

Lyrics: Bend the light, Twist my skin Wager high on Where this ends and where we begin Pasted smile, Simple sin. A wasted style, since Neither has the prospect to win I bluff, you bluff We shuffle and cut But I’m never gonna play You were never gonna play No I bluff, you bluff We don’t mean much I don’t wanna live that way I don’t wanna love that way No [instrumental] Graze the cards Brush the wheel Trace the scars That we were never planning to reveal I bluff, you bluff We shuffle and cut But I’m never gonna play You were never gonna play No I bluff, you bluff We don’t mean much I don’t wanna live that way I don’t wanna love that way No I don’t wanna love, I don’t wanna bluff I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna love that way

The perfect song for the bad ending 1970s crime noir game. You're a detective, chasing this shady guy, but then in the heat of the moment, you get shot. Everything goes dark. Then as the credits role or the epilogue plays out, this banger comes on.

[@LighthoofDryden]

I’m so into it

[@rage_2000]

Turns out, the “shady guy” you were chasing was a shady woman, one you knew… You don’t react in time, a bullet pierces through your heart The last thing you see is the movement of her lips mustering two words… Everything goes black. Ending 9/10 “I’m sorry”

[@Czechcan2011.]

Dryden is so unreasonably underrated. From his game, Disinherited, to his music. Dryden, you are so talented and skilled, and this is coming from a gamedev and musician.

[@LighthoofDryden]

Oh thank you so much, that means a lot to read :D

[@calebjohnson-ze9xx]

This would work really well in a game about 2 people playing cards, where one possesses the other to improve their chances of winning. Oh wait...

I was kind of expecting a clarinet solo somewhere in there. Something about that kind of noir aesthetic immediately makes me think of clarinets.

[@LighthoofDryden]

Oooh I would love a clarinet solo. Just need to find a clarinettist who can shred jazz

[@matute08]

Bro u r so talented, thank for these bangers Edit: also love that u didnt only make things to conect the songs but also the illistration, with the smoke in ghosting hour and the hair of the women of this song

[@NigrumTigris]

Dryden how did you learned how to make music? I am mostly making games for fun but i am planning on making a full indee game based on my country's culture and i am struggling with musics.

[@LighthoofDryden]

Sounds like such a cool project! I’ve been making music since I was a kid, from violin, viola, piano, and singing lessons, and then I got a music degree. During my degree I had a few composition classses and 2 years of music theory, but much of my songwriting and composing process comes from years of experimenting, reading orchestration books, listening, gathering mixing and production tips from books and KZbin, and generally following what’s interesting to me at the time

[@NigrumTigris]

@LighthoofDryden thanks for your reply. Guess i will have to work a lot
