So I'd been waiting an ETERNITY for this game. Ever since trailers started coming out I was very interested. And then they went ahead and cancelled it for the PC, and that's all I have! And then I spent the coming months searching "Alan Wake PC" on google quite regularly, only to come up with disappointing fake images and rumors.
But finally, it was announced for the PC and I got it! And I wasn't disappointed. I loved the game. Although some of the sections were a bit too stretched and the gameplay wasn't my favorite part (although it was quite enjoyable from time to time), the highlight was the story and the atmosphere, which was what had got me excited about the game in the first place.
SO, after completing the game, I made a music video for it (as I usually do) made up of all the cutscenes and gameplay i'd recorded.
The song I used, infact, has been written and created by me and my friend, and it's called "Marrying the Tide". Our band is named "Retarded Compound".
I chose my own song as the lyrics seemed to be matching the theme of the game beautifully! So anyway, here's the video. Oh, and the vocals aren't the best :P But the music's pretty alright imo
Here you go!

A music video tribute to the Remedy game "Alan Wake (PC). I used a song from my own band (Retarded Compound) for the video as the lyrics seem to match the theme of light and darkness, hope and struggle, very well!
Enjoy and comment!
I do not own Remedy or Alan Wake, this is just a music tribute. The song is by my band (Retarded Compound)

Song lyrics:
===LYRICS===
You kept a dream within
and left your heart unlocked
like a child you wore it on your sleeve
and all that they said you would believe
Standing by the cliff
you were pushed before you could even leap
they gave you back your heart in pieces
and stole your will to dream
[CHORUS]
I know its hard but you must believe
Coz there's a way out of this darkness
You must keep moving on for me
Behind a bend may be the light you seek
You closed your eyes to another life
you dreamt of what you wished to see
but now that youve been woken up
you no longer wish to breathe
Into the sea you dint follow
you've drifted along but you cannot dream
yes, you stayed away from sorrow
but happy you cannot dare to be
[CHORUS]
I know its hard but you must believe
Coz there's a way out of this darkness
You must keep moving on for me
Behind a bend may be the light you seek
Theres nothing to which you can hold on
what you have today tomorrow will be gone
valleys are made by hills, sorrow through delight
love what you have and everything will be alright
