I realized that I'm perfectly fine with (and often appreciative of) other people's self-promotion - I even make purchases, when the time is right.

I realized that I'm perfectly fine with (and often appreciative of) other people's self-promotion - I even make purchases, when the time is right.
So, I guess my revulsion towards *my own* self-promotion isn't, like, a healthy thing but, rather, just another example of my general maladjustment.
Thus, I have decided to take advantage of my *checks notes* single new follower to embark on a campaign: I will link to and try to explain all my tracks, one by one.
Hope you don't mind. ️

02. Never came for me, by pgcd
02. Never came for me by pgcd, released 15 September 2018 A day to flock together, to soar together through the storm How brave and strong together, how weak and humble when alone For everyone there comes a time to pull together and march on A day for everyone, yet it never came for me A chance to feel the sun shine and leave the past mistakes behind Free from chains and wrong turns and the prisons of the mind For all there comes a chance, a chance to be completely redefined A chance for everybody, it just never came for me A time for understanding, an instant to make sense of life Unafraid of death and loss, peaceful in the strife For everybody there’s a time to cut the shadows with a knife A time that comes for all, and it never came for me.

Never Came For Me, from NC5M*
The original version of the track whose remake appeared in Revenants. It started as a #neofolk track, but then again my neofolk was never very standard, so there's a bunch of percussions and trance-y synths.
I quite like how it turned out, honestly.Lyrics are, as mentioned, very autobiographical and frankly hopeless. I'm better now, but they still resonate.
(*this was the fifth version of the album)

04. What we used to say, by pgcd
04. What we used to say by pgcd, released 15 September 2018 And the dark and raging sea knocked at our doors Suddenly we realized it wasn’t sudden at all And our riches and our dreams could not shield our world When our towns began to fall But I remember what we used to say in the nights before the fire burning Do you remember what we used to say at night Before the fire started burning?

What We Used To Say, from NC5M
A laid-back, '60s soundtrack-y, mostly instrumental piece with mild neofolk vibes and two rather distinct sections.
I quite like it in general, and I think the vocals are rather effective (in context) - probably one of my favorite songs I wrote.FUN FACT: this is also the single occasion where other people concur that, somehow, a song of mine has a mysterious "French" quality. Make of that what you will.
