about

From episode 48, "We have the bear and the birdsong."

I knew that this one was special from the moment I started turning into a full song and not just a soundtrack song. I was getting into darkwave again and wanted to emulate some of that and the result was a really fun song with a lot of drive and energy. It also exemplifies how acting and being a character in music can open possibilities that wouldn't be there otherwise, namely me cackling in the second verse. I think it's easily one of my best efforts.

lyrics

I was hoping you could give me
a medal for my bravery
the words are getting old
I am learning to build bridges
to address the distance
feet without a home

and if I have to taste the blood under my tongue
I will swallow it for as long
as it takes to pass
and I it means I’ll find a morsel of redress
I will struggle with regret
as long as it will hold

What if we were both lost and I was never found
And you were
Tasked with breaking news and letting down?

I am missing you
Are so much worse, a cenotaph, a barfight in a church
a relief to remedy
but hey it’s never as bad as it seems
the ocean will abate eventually
they cast their nets out graciously
come here.

And I I had to make an educated guess
no one got a decent rest
and no one’s going home tonight
and If I weren’t so preoccupied with this
I’d seek the safety of my nest but
I
want
to
find
you
whole
or
parts
hahahahaha

What if we were both lost and I was never found
And you were
Tasked with breaking news and letting down?
