    I don't know if you're still doing this, but holy fuck. Just discovered you tonight and I can't thank you enough for existing. You've brought new life to songs and bands from my past, and you've made it accessible to everyone and anyone. Words can't describe how appreciative I am. Fuck.

    Heavy metal to instrumental piano. Beautifully done. Metal version for the hard work day, piano version for peaceful night. Perfect!

    For so long I have felt alone
    Content to live with unrest
    Longing faded into countless nights
    That buried my weary heart
    But you brought an end
    To this dead hour
    And meaning to a calloused life
    Held in your arms
    But too far from my heart
    These thoughts will carry me through
    The darkest nights
    While your eyes rested in mine
    I remember the way you looked at me
    And the way you drew me close
    With one deep sigh
    Scattering pieces of my restless mind
    Forgetting all that we have left behind
