Darkest Hour

Hi. Did a new track for a change. The name is partially right but the chorus is kind of dancy imo. I hope you like it and comments welcome

Here is a link to the tune with a video on YouTube:

    Very nice melodies Kakku. I like the synth sounds you have used.

    Nice vintage vibe, sounds like it could be the soundtrack to an 80's German movie!

    Thank you for your comment. I have problems finding sounds I like but these ones I do like

    Thank you for your comment. I have no idea how German 80's movie music sounds (but it must be pretty good then.jk) although I have seen probably a couple of 80s German movies. For some odd reason I usually dislike German and French and also most other than English or American movies and series
    Here is a YouTube link to the tune:

    Nice one!   I feels "complete" - good melodies and matching synth tones.

    Very cool!
    It just needs some dark baritone, "gothy" vocals.

    Thank you Slug. Sadly I don't know how to sing and I know nobody who could either. But just in case you or somebody else wants to do that be my guest😁

    I also enjoy your music and this piece is no exception -- to me there is something nostalgic and haunting in your work even when it's more uptempo.  Maybe it's your choice of melodies or the choice of instrumentation but I like the combination...
