FAWM: "abundant light may turn our world to ash"

abundant light may turn our world to ash

Liner Notes

this song is about my d&d character! it wasn't originally, but halfway through i noticed the parallels.... so that's what it is now!

Lyrics

why don't you take the easy way out tie stones around your ankles and drown i know you're tired of this town there's no harm done so drag yourself down

i will not take the coward's way out (why won't you just listen to me) untie these ropes dragging me down (i'm what's protecting you) this town's unkind to me (nooo) i can set myself free (nooooooo) you once were important to me (you are still important to me)

ah ah aahh aaaaahhh ah ah aahh aaaaahhh ah ah aahh aaaaahhh ah ah aahh aaaaahhh

the contemplative guitar (the melody, the tone, the touch) is something to love <3 and the harmonies/layers, as said. wow, I'm just so excited that I get to hear so awesome music here!

@persephonefm 1w

thank you! that's so nice of you to say :))

@aeye 1w

Those harmonies are so good! This almost had the feeling of sitting in a tavern listening to the music. You’ve got a great voice.

@persephonefm 1w

thanks!! i do love a folky taverny vibe 😀

This is so gentle and tender. I like the harmony over the soft electrics. Sounds like there is a lot more to the story and perhaps more character sketches here.

@persephonefm 1w

thanks so much! there is a lot to this character, i get good inspiration from him :)

One of the many things I like about creating is letting the piece show you what it's about. Anyways, cool dark vibe overall, kind of like Nine Inch Nails type of thing. Nice vocal delivery, and the harmonies are great.

@persephonefm 1w

thanks! i don't know much by NIN - maybe i should listen more...

The lyrics could really be applicable to many situations! It's cool that you saw your character in them! Lovely, lovely vocals. So tender and deliberate delivery. The harmonies are beautiful.

@persephonefm 1w
