Your Soul's Starry Sea
Liner Notes
Hi guys, knocked out my first FAWM song this morning. I've been wanting to write songs of protest and hope. This was in the latter category. #oddtimesignature
Lyrics
Harvesting the words to say There's still light when the sun goes away
A spark of light Softens the light
Swear there's good in this world Don't let the night drive you inward This glimmer is yours to keep In your soul's starry sea
By this fire we fan the flame Trying to give this hope a name
A spark of light Softens the light
Swear there's good in this world Don't let the night drive you inward This glimmer is yours to keep In your soul's starry sea
Your soul's starry sea is the lighthouse That keeps us strong When we drown in darkness It won't be long Til the stars turn on Swear there's good in this world Don't let the night drive you inward This glimmer is yours to keep In your soul's starry sea Your soul's starry sea

Enchanting right from the first notes. And the lyrics are gorgeous, especially the chorus. This song is badly needed right now <3

This is so lovely, an understated call to hope that's so desperately needed right now. I love the little harmonies. Exactly what I needed to hear this morning.
Thank you so much :)

This is gorgeous and hopeful in the best way. Hope is a funny thing, because it comes in so many flavours. This hope feels like it carries the weight of everything that could make you lose it without letting it be dragged down.
This glimmer is yours to keep In your soul's starry sea
Just beautiful.
Thank you so much :)

There's a slightly deflated way that you sing this, that makes it feel like the singer is still in the middle of this darkness, choosing hope breath by breath. That makes the message so much more tender and believable than if the singer had it all figured out and was sharing old wisdom...
Thank you so much Nancy :)

Oh gosh, the vocals are so gentle here and majestic against the light electric guitar. "Don't let the night drive you inward" is a fantastic line and love the way the motif plays with the rhythm. And the harmonies! Amazing song!
Thank you so much :)

This feels sweet and slinky at the same time. Your vocals and production are so good. Love the sentiment of the lyrics, particularly like "Don't let the night drive you inward"
