Everything started with my Roleplaying Character "Peacock the bard" and telling his story in some generated songs. To share them with my dungeonmaster and the other players - I started a youtubechannel. Perhaps some other roleplayer would like the songs, or some ungeonmasters could use them for their campaigns...
Then - my character got "the Devil`s Fiddler" - (there ara songs about how that happened), and some songs got real popular on youtube (from my point of view.. more than 100 people listend to one song).
The next step was the Idea of my Dungeonmaster that Mephistopheles would like to make a Motto Party about undead Pirates.. and the channel "explodet"..
(It was great fun - 97 Followers - and I waited for the magical ONE HUNDRED - then: two followers left.. WHYYY? Big drama.. )
It was (and is) great fun, to experiment with youtube, and find out, how to feed the almighty algorithm. So I decidet to go another step further, and send (some of) my songs to a distributor.. and feel like a rockstar ;)
Now I even have reached the Youtube Partner Programm (Junior.. with 500 Subs) and Maybe one Day - I reach the magical 1000 ;)

So I hope you enjoy the music here just *like me*,
and I also would enjoy some feedback - If *you like*
about what *you like* , what you dislike, or what *you like* to tell me.

Thanks for listening

Peacock the Bard

Lyrics:
Alone in this darkness, my heart feels the weight
Each whispered thought, each twist of fate
The taste of poison from a past that won’t die
And the laughter that haunts, no matter how I try

The food sits heavy, bitter and vile
Each spoonful a memory too cruel to reconcile
I retch out the pain, but the suffering stays
A shadow that clings, that won’t go away

My love is a tainted curse to suffer
A bond that brings sorrow, a burden to smother
For those I hold close, I am the knife
A wound that cuts through the hope of their life

I give them my heart, yet take it away
My love’s a poison they can’t escape
My love is a curse, twisted and torn
A promise to suffer, forever reborn

I see her face, hollowed and dead
Empty eyes staring, words left unsaid
I should have known better than to believe
That kindness could thrive, that love could relieve

The voices—they tell me, they know what’s true
That anyone I love is doomed to be used
They say he’ll break him, tear him apart
And use his pain to shatter my heart

My love is a tainted curse to suffer
To bring those I cherish to ruin, to smother
I watch as they fall, under my hand
A twisted fate I can’t withstand

For every word of love I say
The dark grows closer, day by day
My love is a curse, binding and dire
A tragic tether, forged in fire

In the silence I cling to the last of my hope
But shadows laugh, saying, “You’ll never cope.”
"Kill him," they whisper, "before it’s too late
Before you bear witness to the horrors he’ll face.”

For every touch I dare to give
A poison grows where kindness lives
They say to protect him is only a lie
That love will condemn him; love will die

They tell me I’m weak, that my love’s a mistake
A tainted gift that can only take
With each friend I cherish, each bond I weave
I hand them to fate, a fate they can’t leave

For I’ve tried before to shield and defend
Only to watch them suffer in the end
What worth is love if it brings only pain?
If the cost of my heart is sorrow and shame?

My love is a tainted curse to suffer
A ruinous gift, a shadow to cover
Each promise I make, each vow I give
Feels like the poison they cannot live

I give my heart but take away
Every ounce of hope they hold in sway
My love is a curse, brutal and bare
A chain that drags us to despair

So I choke on the bitterness, swallow the lie
Clinging to love that will always die
For those who care, I bring only the worst
My love, my ruin—my tainted curse
