((Ok, I shall be putting lyrics. Heh, it's an english rendition of a japanese song. Endless Rain Piano(Tribute to X Japan) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AU2R0eD0yY#) this is the piano for it))<br/><br/>Gabriel approached the piano, running a finger along it. Memories accompanied every song he managed to write lyrics for. He sat down at the seat and played a beautiful chord to test the instrument. He wasn't the best singer, but was good enough to make the song sound beautiful. He took in a deep breathe and played the opening of the song, his body telling a sad story as he swayed to and fro and in and out. His movements were smooth a fluid, like water. His shoulders were down, almost sulking as he played the opening melody. Then he began to sing.<br/><br/><div align="center">"I'm walking in the rain, and my tears just fade away. <br/>I have fallen and arose, just like the ocean. <br/>Something's in my way, today is not the same.<br/>My eyes are red, and I still can not forget<br/>About your love<br/>No, i don't think I'm ok<br/>I don't think I<br/>Can heal from this pain<br/><br/>My eyes are stapled shut<br/>Against the pain I always feel<br/>Soaked in sorrows, in this rain<br/>It doesn't seem to stop and<br/>I look to the sky<br/>And i see that it is clear<br/>Are these tears on my face?<br/>No it can't be<br/>It must be rain<br/><br/>I lie to myself<br/>Nearly every day<br/>To see your face<br/><br/>Endless rain!<br/>Fall on my heart!<br/>Wash away the bloodshed<br/>Let me forget all of the hate<br/>All of the sadness"</div><br/>Gabriel stopped. "Ah, that's enough..." He said to himself. "Hate when something so pretty is so sad." He sprung his head back up and decided to play something completely original. He struck a dramatic low chord, then a higher note, followed by a challenging low chord again. He played quickly between treble and bass, as if the two were locked in an intense war. He played them both together in a flurry of coordinated notes, giving the feeling of beauty in chaos. Then he eased into a beautiful melody.<br/><br/><div align="center">"Driving me into the sky<br/>Making me fear the world below<br/>Hell, people don't know anything anymore<br/>Isolation is my road, now<br/>Alone, just a piano<br/>It's all I have left to scream with<br/>My voice is gone<br/>My vocal chords are spent<br/>I can't tell you my story anymore<br/>It's up to my hands and this melody<br/>If you get me, sing with me<br/>Whatever you say isn't important<br/>Listen to the piano<br/><br/>Has music ever talked for you?<br/>Has music ever defended you?<br/>Taken the blows when you were to weak<br/>Made that stand when your legs shake<br/>Make you cry when you needed it most?<br/>Alone, just a piano<br/><br/>I tried all your options<br/>I resorted to mutilation<br/>Hell, it felt nice at the time<br/>My hands told my stories then<br/>But now i found a better way to do so<br/>Here is my decent into the arts<br/>Forget these words, the piano speaks for me<br/>I'm just trying to get you to understand<br/><br/>Has music ever talked for you?<br/>Has music ever defended you?<br/>Taken the blows when you were to weak<br/>Made that stand when your legs shake<br/>Make you cry when you needed it most?<br/>Alone, just a piano<br/><br/>Take it in whispers<br/>Mezzo Forte, say it in screams<br/>Even a storm can be silent<br/><br/>Has music ever talked for you?<br/>Has music ever defended you?<br/>Taken the blows when you were to weak<br/>Made that stand when your legs shake<br/>Make you cry when you needed it most?<br/>Alone, just a piano"</div><br/>Gabriel stopped singing, ending the song in an epic, battling piano solo as if he were fighting his own music. "It's called Alone, Just A Piano." He said, turning back to them with a smile. "It's meant to deliver the emotions music can radiate, even conflicting ones."
