Stalker's Tango is a song by @Autoheart. You can listen to the amazing original at youtube.com/watch?v=Q3B17TmEvoYStriding in the SnowstormThe Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra2022-12-03 | Just a quick recreation of a track from Yu-Peng Chen's amazing Genshin Impact soundtrack. This is from the Dragonspine expansion that added a gorgeous snowy mountain area.
Made over the course of a spare hour-and-a-half mainly to deconstruct/reconstruct the original and learn things, and keep my mock up skills from going rusty.

A dark, satirical parody of "Quizás", originally written by Osvaldo Farrés. This one's based on the d-money version, though.
Lyrics: You won't admit you love me And so how am I ever to know? You always tell me... Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I've asked you And then I ask you over Again, you only answer... Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up We'll never get started And I don't wanna wind up In a room lined with plastic, and covered from head to toe with blood.
So if you really love me, say yes But if you don't dear, confess And please don't tell me Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
If you can't make your mind up We'll never get started And I don't wanna wind up In room lined with plastic, and bodies that stuck up to the roof oh If you can't make your mind up We'll never get started And I don't wanna wind up floating in a boat on the ocean disposing of your body in a bag...
So if you really love me, say yes But if you don't dear, confess And please don't tell me Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps... Perhaps, perhaps, perhapsNever Let You Go ft.

Lyrics: Ooh, they say this is not how I should act And I know it's not okay for me to be so bad But I see how they look at you, those girls at the dance And I knew what I had to do to make you my man It was easier than when I pushed sweet Jolene off the cliff or that time that poor old Milly didn't see that car until....
And now I will never let you go and I truly, really hope That you see... that you're mine... and that I'm your only friend So don't cry... No don't cry.... anymore... Or you'll die
I'm feeling like you're better off now you've got me in your life and all it took was a little persuasion with a twist of my knife And your blood runs so fast, fast, fast when you open your veins to me! Oh sometimes when I look at you, your face looks full of fear Then I realise all I have to do is hold your dead body near me.
And now I will never let you go and I truly, really hope That you see... that you're mine... and that I'm your only friend So don't cry... No don't cry.... And now I ee I will never let you go and I ee I truly, really hope That you see... that you're mine... and that I'm your only friend So don't cry... No don't cry.... anymore... Or you'll die
No don't cry, no don't cry Please don't cry, oh don't cryWhatever will Bleed, will Bleed (Que Sera) ft.

Thanks as always to Gloom II : Hell on Earth for bringing the other half of this song. You can find more of her magic stuffs all over the place at https://linktr.ee/gloomdarkheart.
A dark, satirical parody of "Que Sera", originally written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. Recorded in 2012, this track was featured in various versions on my Lazy Sunday Livestream for many years but not on the channel.
Lyrics: When I was just a little girl I asked my mother "what will I be?" Will I be evil, will I be sane? Here's what she said to me:
Que Sera Sera Whatever will Bleed, will Bleed The Future's so Dark, you'll see Que Sera Sera
When I grew up I'd hide my pills and ask the voices "what lies ahead?" Will we hide bodies, row after row? Here's what my voices said:
Que Sera Sera Whatever will Bleed, will Bleed The Future's so Dark, you'll see Que Sera Sera
Now I have ghosts all of my own they ask me nightly "How do I sleep?" Tossing and turning... nightmares for dreams I tell them truthfully:
Que Sera Sera Whatever will Bleed, will Bleed The Future's so Dark, you'll see Que Sera Sera Que Sera Sera Whatever will Bleed, will Bleed The Future's so Dark, you'll see Que Sera SeraSystem Shock II - Operations OrchestraThe Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra2022-08-08 | An orchestration of 'Ops 2' from the System Shock II soundtrack.

System Shock 2's soundtrack was originally composed by Eric Brosius, Josh Randall & Ramin Djawadi. As with the previous System Shock II track, this was hard to translate to orchestra. It differs slightly from the original and has a few bits of improv here and there.

Lyrics: I'll give you water if you'll scream my name for me or even better, tell me that you'll play my game I'll leave the chains off, take off all of the duct-tape I'll let you run free, please scream, give a little chase I'll give you freedom, please don't go disappoint me I've got an itch for you that just won't let me be You look so pretty, baby, through this scope I see but when I take your kneecaps out and watch you bleed
It's like time slows down but the world keeps spinning round I'll drag you way back down to my corpse-filled underground
You can take a break if you just tell me that it hurts A little deeper cut, yeah, show me what you're worth I'll leave the chains off, take off all of the duct-tape I'll let you run free, please scream, give a little chase I've got a sharpened edge with a yearning for your flesh Amphetamines to keep your consciousness so fresh Electric stimulation, turn the voltage on Locked in this game together - darkness until dawn
It's like time slows down but the world keeps spinning round I'll drag you way back down to my corpse-filled underground Until you're gone Until you're gone
I've got a secret, listen, I won't tell you again I've got a special evening planned for you, my friend I've dug a hole six feet out back next to the fence It looks so cozy, really, you're one lucky man I've got arsenic and lye I got today I've sharpened all my knives and brought a new IV We're gonna have a special moment here alone I wanna see what you look like as Blood and Bones And with a buzz of a saw, Oh baby we'll be playing God I'll hold your heart inside and have it beat out every cry Until you're gone Until you're gone Until you're goneLost in Random - Roll that Dicey! - An Original Soundtrack by the Blake Robinson Synthetic OrchestraThe Blake Robinson Synthetic Orchestra2021-09-15 | Listen on Spotify @ https://blake.so/?lbab9 or Apple music @ https://blake.so/?lbdc2 and https://blake.so/?l0e5a or find out more about the game over on the site @ ea.com/games/lost-in-random

Home, home on the range Where the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day
