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:
A Lullaby

Sleep now, dear treasure, chained to a will
Rest in shadows, where stars hold still
This cradle’s my cage, silken, refined
Bound in sweet mockery, ever confined

Close my eyes, surrender to night’s decree
In slumber alone, can I find to be
Not mine to live, only serve endlessly
Lie still, sweet shadow, too weary to flee

Oh, lovely machine, crafted to please
A thing to bend, to break with ease
In this charade, my role is clear—
To linger in silence, to disappear

Close my eyes, surrender to night’s decree
In slumber alone, can I find to be
Not mine to live, only serve endlessly
Lie still, sweet shadow, too weary to flee

They play with my body, my silence, my fire
Each touch a reminder, each bruise a pyre
No pride, no power, just grace in decay
Rest now, dear tool, till I’m swept away

Forget the beat that once called me mine
Just a whisper now, a pulse in decline
And if dreams find me, they’re cold, they’re sold
A lullaby’s gift for a heart grown cold

Close my eyes, surrender to night’s decree
In slumber alone, can I find to be
Not mine to live, only serve endlessly
Lie still, sweet shadow, too weary to flee

Sleep, Little creature, treasure bound tight
In darkness I’m cast, bereft of light
A puppet, a shadow, ever unseen—
A creature of night in a silent routine
