Intended for #morph6 #morph https://write.fawm.org/forums/2976 CHORDS (roughly): Intro: A♭5th - G♭5th Verse: A♭m, B, G♭, C# Chorus: A♭m, A♭sus4, (A♭m, G♭m, E♭m) Sorry, the vocals were the first thing I wrote.
This one was inspired by converting to a different religion. #firstfruits
The #neofolk sound was inspired by Helium Vola, but I think it sounds too much like them, so I will have to change it up if I want to officially release it. #electronic #fawmtronica
Lyrics
I found a seed When I was alone We'd all parted ways The seed spoke of home
It led the way When I placed it in earth To a garden of like-minded souls A place of rebirth
And we danced We sang We were as one Building, healing Here I belong
I found a vine Growing out of my hair It was berry and flower-adorned There was plenty to share
I showed my souls In the garden of mine It was sinfully wrong, but so right We devoured all the fruit out of spite
And we danced We sang We were as one Growing, guiding Here we belong
I found a thorn Growing out of my vine Growing out of my veins Into my eyes
And they showed me theirs Wounds and all We indulged in our fruit Until we "felt" full
And we danced We sang We were as one Flowing, rising Here we belong
[bridge] I'll give you mine If you give me yours We are superior, who dine On poison berries, won't you pour Pour me a glass of that bitter wine To keep them out, we'll shut the doors
Then I found a light In the quiet of night Curiosity beckoned me near Such a beautiful sight
So I showed my souls My kindred, they were All the drunken ones whom I held dear Sure they would concur
But they spat They tore Ate me alive They hit They swore Left me to die
When they were gone I looked up...you were there Just like you said you would be...

Mysterious sinister yet extremely revealing and light. Such a lovely atmosphere and I love how you take your time to get the story to where it's going, keeping us entranced

Very cool, mystical sounding at times, can hear the journey as it evolves, vocals sound great and singing styles go well with the lyrics!

I'm moved and impressed. Ethereal, evocative, interesting. Obviously I read your message in the thread and I encourage you to keep the faith despite the spite of your "souls."
God bless you and keep you. Shine the light created in you.

The lyrics really move me deeply and I very much like the Helium Vila sound of everything, but I also love the band so yes really great song

I love these icy synths, it's a little bit like the Knife also. Really dig the whole thing, nice production!

Great set of lyrics, and the track really supports their atmosphere! And those whispered vocals... Ahh, perfection! That pulsating synth ties the whole thing together splendidly.
