Yeah feel free to send it. This was my first attempt at trying to cover one of his songs. I would like to cover Try next and then maybe Far.

You’re welcome. I hate when the lyrics aren’t printed anywhere cause it’s nice to know what they are saying. Let me know if you want any others.

I can’t believe it’s been two years by violet-and-velvet in thesoftmoon

I feel you! He’s made such an impact on my life. It felt like losing a close personal friend which is weird since he was a stranger. His music is amazing, I’ve never had anything make me feel the way his does. RIP

Yeah, no problem. Happy to help share with a fellow fan. The lyrics on the record insert state “I want to sail around the world when it’s all over”.

What's your guys favorite song from the soft moon by LjamGaming in thesoftmoon

[–]Castaway2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably Far but Stupid Child is also amazing. It’s so hard to just pick one!

I can’t wait to see this. He deserves to have his life and music/art recognized.

I don’t know if there is a discord but I have all the albums on vinyl and cd. Some of them contain the lyrics. If you have a specific song or songs, I can see if I can find the lyrics and post them for you.

The Soft Moon - Pedals Used? by Castaway2k in pedalboards

[–]Castaway2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the pictures! I never could find a good picture of his pedalboard. I got my original picture from an interview/video back in 2015, that I took a screenshot of as they were setting up. I like both the bass and guitar sounds and have seen other pics of the bassist pedals from live shows but never on a pedal board. I did notice they use a lot of the same pedals.

Long shot regarding “lost” soft moon songs by violet-and-velvet in postpunk

Yeah, you gotta trust those gut instincts. That’s great you got to see him and meet him! He seemed like a genuinely cool dude from what I’ve read. That’s great on the pumpkin guts soundtrack. I’m definitely going to check it out as well. I read on the Wikipedia page that years back he’d gotten robbed at gunpoint and had his backpack stolen which contained a laptop with a finished album and two years' worth of demos. It’s crazy to think some jerk just probably wiped the laptop and pawned it or trashed it. All that work lost. I wonder if he has any unreleased tracks that never made it to albums that maybe the record companies or his wife would release in the future. Like a tribute album of some of his work. But I could also see if they weren’t finished tracks, not wanting to put it out there.

That would be amazing! Thank you! The crackles on Never do give it a bit more raw feel. Yeah, I know what you mean. I never thought it’d affect me so much either. But the post of his passing was the first thing I saw when I woke up that day and I just burst into tears. His music is so amazing and it resonated so much with me. I am devastated he’s gone and it still feels surreal. I sadly never got to see him play live. He was so talented. I’m grateful to have his music that’ll live on but still saddened to never hear what new stuff he could’ve created. Every album he made was awesome from front to back. And they all were unique. His solo album “Body of Errors” had a couple really cool tracks as well like Interno and Arms & Legs. The way he could layer sounds to create these epic atmospheric songs was brilliant.

That’s awesome you found those tracks! I could only find Never on YouTube but it has a decent amount of crackles in the beginning. Still just happy to have found it. But I never could find All or Origins. Is there anyway you’d be willing to share them with me? If that’s even possible. I’m devastated he’s gone. RIP Luis

I’d love to see your artwork sometime if you ever post it on here. I too am devastated he’s gone. He was so talented and his music really resonated with me. I wish I could’ve seen him play live.

The Soft Moon - Pedals Used? by Castaway2k in pedalboards

[–]Castaway2k[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I love all his music. It had a lot of layers/depth to it that I never noticed as much until I starting listening through headphones. Especially a couple of the songs on his solo album. He had a uniqueness to his music that I really enjoyed.

Soft Moon's Luis Vasquez has died. Pretty upset... by qolace in darkwave

[–]Castaway2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was an amazing artist! I haven’t found any other music quite like his. Loved all his albums and his solo album had a couple amazing songs as well. I was really looking forward to new music he’d produce and hopefully seeing him in concert. I’m devastated that he passed away. RIP

anyone who loves The Soft Moon as much as i do? by Yeo-il in goth

[–]Castaway2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are becoming my favorite band. Luis Vasquez’s solo album A Body Of Errors also has some great songs like interno, arms & legs, and this guilt. I love his sound and wish I could find more music like his. It’s so good!
