replacer - always meant to know [baroque pop]
Ponies at Dawn Aurora: https://poniesatdawn.bandcamp.com/alb...
From november 2021; at the time I was really pleased with this song's chord progression and stately pace. I used a little bit of vocal synthesis to add some subtle harmonies under the vocal melody, and did my best to imitate the sound of a theremin. I enjoyed painting this twily to go with it also, and I don't mind the result too much, feels like I've got a chance to progress a lot more from here
Lyrics:
step by step by step uncertainly
you have to make it all go perfectly
prick your ears and peer internally
beneath the fading light so tenderly
it sparkles around you like you've never known it
what can you see now waiting down below it
who might you hear then, daring you to show it
things that you were always meant to show
that may not seem inviting till you go
and then you'll grow to see the reason for your love
you were always meant to glow
you were always meant to know
spell by spell there's no denying it
because of you the earth has light in it
you anxious hero of the sciences
who works too hard and sulks defiantly
as voices about you call for concentration
instruments lost in your imagination
magic requires your full participation
seeing how all the threads are meant to flow
they may not seem exciting till you go
and then you'll grow to see the reason for your love
you were always meant to glow
you were always meant to know
