Tireless cycle:

Began this one around 2012 on classic guitar, well as a sketch. Finally "finished" it last month. One of the worst rhythm breaking ones for sure. The voice is also just to be there.

Win Some, Lose Some:

Started this around 2012 with only the intro. It was intended to be a heavy metal song but hey 2019 made it somewhat nu metal instead.

The left or right path?

Started this around 2012 on classical guitar as a sketch. Added the chorus in 2019 and finished the song too (12th of July) along with the lyrics. Had some issues with this one since the voice couldn't reach the desired pitch, so I had to tune the recorded guitar parts down so I wouldn't re-record them. Anyways, the voice is mostly meh, but at least serves as an idea of how it could be. Experimented with more reverb on voice sound files and with symphonic instruments on the rock genre. At least, the non-vocal part is quite OK.

It might matter, it might not:

Begun it around 2012 on classical guitar, finished today (of year 2019). Had some vocal concepts but the lyrics pretty much shifted towards production's end. I really need talented vocalists... The main idea was to do something close to Linkin Park's first two albums since I didn't really like their newer style that much. Long story short, it's one of those songs I don't really like how it wound up.

Coming or going, feeling's the same:

Started this around 2011 (I think). Intended it to be some sort of fast trancy electronic song but didn't have enough inspiration to add on what was already, so ended up shifting the style for the second half of the composition.

Speed is relative:

Created the sketch around 2010-2011 (if I recall correctly); finished it today. At first I was going for the trance inspired. Had to slow the tempo down so I could play something that required too much speed on my hands and realized that the musical piece sounded somewhat different slower so I then incorporated a sort of ballad part and thus ended up to a more than 5 minute composition. It's one of the fewest works I don't have much to dislike about.
