Eggdogg Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Hi yall, hope everyone is doing well. Been working on a Stormlight project. Hoid's Walkman: The Ghostblood Tapes. The idea being that someone found Hoid's Walkman and a bag of tapes with the name Ghostblood on them. I'm doing the music and a friend is doing the paintings. Here is the first entry, Szeth. https://youtu.be/da4zzv1Khtg Edited October 11, 2020 by Eggdogg 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted October 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) 2nd entry in The Ghostblood Tapes; Shallan Szeth's song is fairly straight forward. Its a music/art capture of one the first scenes in Stormlight. Shallan is different as are all the others. Shallan's song is not a scene capture but rather an impression left by reading so much about her through 3 books. Sometimes I wanna slip away But I always seem to stay Tell a lie so many times The truth becomes friendly You can draw it right off the page Don't wanna be myself today What else can I say? Don't wanna be myself today There's always another way Another way? You'll hide my hand I'll hide my face I cannot fail Behind my Veil I disappear into the work Taking rest here in the dirt Tell a lie so many times The truth becomes friendly It'll jump to swear by word Don't wanna be myself today What else can I say? Don't wanna be myself today There's always another face No one can see me behind my Veil Edited October 15, 2020 by Eggdogg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi, yall. 3rd entry in The Ghostblood Tapes: Dalinar. Like Shallan, Dalinar is mostly an impression left on me by the character. Words are a mix of his highstorm "episodes" and two losses that helped define him in my mind. RE, unsolicited criticism. I'm not sure if this thread is part of the reason that sticky went up. I did not solicit criticism because of everything stated in the sticky but it does feel lonely in here. I'm sorry if any of the project rubs peeps the wrong way, its definitely not the intent. Beyond that, I just would like to say that this project is being manifested by a few things. The main 3 being... 1. Love of Stormlight and BrandoSando's work 2. Friend and I love making art...and life mixed with the pandemic in a way that gave us some time to play around (its fun and we're old) 3. 17th Shard Pieces fall out of time and place Pushing everything in my past Back in my face Oh what a lifeless thing Sticking out from the cracks Dead souls wiped clean On blades of grass Stormfather has found you (Die Blackthorn) You knew he was bound to 10 heartbeats to forget And 1 death to remind you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you know if we're even around? 3 diamond shapes overlapping themselves might be found If you're looking for Ghostbloods Best not make a sound Everywhere we go There's a great and secret show And the moment you think you got us You got an empty pile of cothes And we counted every stitch As your distance closed in You think this world is large my friend Well you better think again This is larger than Roshar This goes farther than Roshar We've gone farther than Roshar Wisps of smoke will turn Slipping through your mind Never to be seen Edited November 4, 2020 by Eggdogg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Hope everyone had a good holiday, if you had a holiday. Also hope everyone is enjoying, enjoyed or is about to enjoy book 4. 5th entry in the Ghostbloods Tapes: Lift To stand still lasts forever Do you even know how long I've aged? You seem confused, a little irate Want me to act another way? Just try and follow when I'm running on instinct Don't try and lead me when I'm dancing on something No one can catch me if I'm running on instinct What will you bring to me beyond the void? Your silly rules, well I don't need them Why you try to cultivate? You seem confused, maybe abbrasive Want me to act another way? If they can catch me then I'm running on empty If they can follow then I need to eat something No one can catch me if I'm running on instinct What will you bring to me beyond the void? I didn't choose you but I'll bond you anyway If you must know I wish you'd been another face The ring brought me here and so I must co-operate If they can follow then you need to eat...right away! No can catch us when we're running on instinct No none can follow when we're dancing on something Behind us a trail of dust we're slipping through something What did you bring because its not the void?

We've been trying to not exceed 1 straight quote or wiki reference in a song. To be honest "another secret" or "secrets upon secrets" was being used for the last line in the song but we already had the "3 diamond shapes overlapping themselves" and i could not find a better way to write that...so we tried to cut away other direct references and replace with stuff from our heads. Again thanks for listening! Also just a heads up for any that are interested. About a couple months ago my computer died. New computer is finally here so new music will be coming. During that time i also finished RoW. So i have been staying away from 17th shard to not be spoiled. I am back now though. Done with book 4, new computer is up and running. Time to get back to music. Whie we have a long list on songs and paintings we want to do...if any of you draw, paint, write poems, write music or have ideas that mesh with a bag of ghostblood tapes...lets chat. I would love to pair a song with your drawing. The other half would love to paint a picture to your song. We both would love to paint a picture and write a song to your words. Stuff like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 As mentioned in the post above, The Ghostblood Tapes have finished book 4 in real life. Up to this point the songs/paintings were reflecting from books that were at least 3ish years old. Currently the 4th book has been out for under a year. I don't really want to add spoiler tags as the songs/words are ambiguous enough without RAFOing but hopefully quite clear if you've read book 4. Regardless, books 1-4 are now a part of The Ghostblood Tapes so continue at your own discretion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) The emotional notes of Stormlight burn bright after reading a new book. These notes have been burning in our minds. 6th entry of The Ghostblood Tapes: Maydolin Oh Maya what can you see? Just move along with me I've got everything I need So feel free Oh Maya what do you know? I'll follow where you go I've got everything I need Side to side, don't look away Say the words you need to say I stand by you I'm starting to think you don't need me to Oh Maya what do you feel? Is it time for you to heal? You've got everything you need So feel free Edited February 14, 2021 by Eggdogg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a drawing called ‘An offer she can’t refuse’ where Shallan meets Thaidakar and the GBs. Mostly because I envision the GBs as the Cosmere mafia. It’s in the RoW gallery. You’re welcome to use it. (Although the picture completely spoils Thaidakar’s identity.) You are also welcome to use any of my tarot cards.

+Halleck Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 This is such a cool concept and really well executed! I love hearing Stormlight-inspired songs in a more contemporary style. The paintings are a nice touch as well. I subscribed to your Soundcloud and looking forward to more tracks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted March 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) @Halleck many thanks. You warm the hearts of the Ghostblood Tapes. The Ghostblood Tapes would also like to thank @Kingsdaughter613 for providing not only 2/3 of the work but also the the inspiration behind this track in the bag of Ghostblood Tapes; An Offer You Can't Refuse Art and lyrics by @Kingsdaughter613 How clever do you think you are? Enter Mraize, his features marred Little Knife, who dared betray Kalak the herald, refused to slay The time has come; the bill is due Little Knife, I’m hunting you How clever do you think you are? Enter Lyatil, masked and dark I’ve wandered the Cosmere for many a day More false than you, I’ve come to slay Watch for the mists and shadows true The dart in my pipe is waiting for you How clever do you think you are? Enter Lord Mistborn from afar I spy with my tineye A child, a fool, not ready to fly Little Knife building her own pyre; Let’s see if you’ll survive this fire How clever do you think you are? Survivor, Sovereign, Lord of Scars Enter our Master Thaidakar Tell me Knife, do you play cards? I think I’d like to test your skill Here’s the deck; take what you will You know the rules; now we play Looks like I take the pot today You think you’ll win this war you choose? I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse Edited March 10, 2021 by Eggdogg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 9th entry in the Ghostblood Tapes: Pattern we’re sorry, we’re sorry we’re so delicious all we've done behind your back was acting in your interest Don’t worry, don’t worry our bond is endless maybe we can find a way or maybe you should blame wit You know me, you know me I’ve always been here always right behind your back I’m watching, I’m so sincere So sorry, so sorry i’m so delicious maybe we can win the day or maybe we should blame wit Right behind your back, I'm watching you Maybe I could help today If you just show me the way Why are you looking away?

Eggdogg Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) A tape within a tape. We are trying to do a small string of songs about Bridge 4 (their own tape within the Ghostblood bag). Bridge 4 as we first meet them. The early Bridge 4 era. This in an intro song. Forward Bridge 4 One more step No hope left Who falls next? Left for dead Bridge 4 is no place to grieve Nothing left to give, we keep on dying Down here you’ll find the place Where your will to live slipped away On the plains we march again And feel nothing Just eyes without a clue And Bridge 4 will take those too Edited April 25, 2021 by Eggdogg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) 2nd entry in the Bridge 4 Tapes: Moash Tip of the hat to the Shardcast for the idea of Moash casting many shadows in Kal's eyes. It was mentioned in the Moash episode and I couldn't get it out of my head. In the light of his eyes I cast many shadows My shadow’s innocence Is twisting with the wind Saving my revenge From dying on the Bridge Shadows never sleep Like words that convince Each day in and out Waking up with him Hey, what could I do? Kholin took my best Bridge 4 is taking the rest My shadow’s Innocence Is twisting with the wind Dying on the Bridge Is another win for them A game I’ll never lose Convinced he has to play Guarding from the front Holding all our weight Can you feel the surge between you and me?

Eggdogg Posted May 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) 3rd entry in the Bridge 4 Tapes: Lunamor (Rock) Surrounded by these fools With no other place to go Its either ‘make the food’ Or break my toes Prepared for the slaughter I’m leading them to water Without me by their side They’d probably die The air down here is dangerous So have a seat and eat with us A piece of meat, a piece bread Its my charge that we’re all well fed No one suffers tonight So get it off your chest Our life’s a laugh at best And choke down some food from Lunamor They say Bridge 4 is death But the dead don’t need a chef Its more like You're not quite all dead just yet The air down here is dangerous So have a seat and eat with us A piece of meat, a piece bread Its my charge that we’re all well fed No one suffers tonight He’s lying There's no way he carries that weight He’s lying There's no way, its gotta be fake Stormblessed some call him And I’ll never doubt him again I helped him save a life In me he made a friend Respect thats earned lasts until the end Tattooed as a slave But just below the brow A storm is screaming begging to get out The air down here is dangerous So have a seat and eat with us A piece of meat, a piece bread Its my charge that we’re all well fed No one suffers tonight Edited May 31, 2021 by Eggdogg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 4th entry in the Bridge 4 tapes: Teft. What can I say The moss pulled me down All the way to the Bridge Where Death pirouettes If you live What can I say The moss took away All my patience to hear The things that you think I should fear What can you do Your heart is subdued Then hung out in the storm And left for the father to choose What's left to do Highstorm blew right through All the weight of the Bridge Came down on the heart Of the crew Kal, see this through I think I know whats happened To you What's left to say The moss pulled me down All the way to your side So Death’s gonna wait For a while Racked round my brain This sounds insane You healed with Stormlight I think you’re Radiant Usually wrong But rarely confused 3 spheres from me 3 spheres to you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdogg Posted August 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hope everyone is doing well. 5th entry in The Bridge 4 Tapes: Kaladin (parts 1, 2 and 3) Trapped in a rolling cage I'm stranded here There's no use crying Sick gait, a scratchy face Beyond the bars; a death song calling "Come to Odium" Trapped in a rolling cage Rolling deep inside the plains Trapped in a rolling cage Not much left to call me sane Everytime I save a life I'm gonna change my mind And everytime I change my mind I'm gonna change my life You'd think with all this Stormlighting up my darkness It would help me see right through Shash Don't be shocked, we know it so well You've been sent to gates of hell Don't be shocked and join with us You've been sent to the land of dust Don't be shock, we know it so well What comes next only time will tell Danger comes from the sky We hold the bridge to the side Laugh now if you want, it won't matter If one falls now we all die A plan scratched deep in the dirt A reveal of what we are worth Slip through in the night, no warning Unless they get to you first Hung out in a Storm Surrounded by the wind and rain You can still feel alone Felt the light disintegrating As the face began to fade Stretched so thin and barely breathing This darkness won't go away I'm alone Bridge 4 stands at your back Our hearts sing true to this fact One step at a time, you taught us And the bridge will never collapse They left you under attack But Bridge 4 stands at your back One step at a time, you taught us And the bridge will never collapse One more step forward Bridge 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
