"We will be your constants."

hey again, folks!! okay, so needless to say: i was completely BLOWN AWAY by your incredible support following my first video a week ago. every single one of your sweet comments and/or reblogs meant so much to me. as such, i figured i might as well keep this thing going and publish a second video while i was at it.

this song would not exist without the incredible talent of a certain Grae -- you may know them as @today-only-happens-once on tumblr -- who originally composed this as a stand-alone piano piece. the instrumental was so gorgeous, and though i never intended to write lyrics for it, these words came to mind a day later and would not LEAVE my mind until i wrote them down. so, huge HUGE thank you to Grae for letting me take her song and add my own touches to it!! you can hear the original performance by clicking the link down below.

take care, darlings.

LYRICS:
There's a palace
There's a prince
And he has never been defeated

In the tower
Lives a teacher
Who's always suceeded

By the fire rests a fighter
Love is all he knows
And he says, "With you I'm always home!"
And that's just how the story goes

And they

Vanquish the villain
Day after day
He fights, he fails, takes flight, knows they'll
"Always find a way"
It's a constant, this give and take
This ebb and flow they share
They're the heroes; he's the anti
It's okay. He doesn't care.

But then suddenly the fighter is reaching out a hand
And not to hit him or to hurt him and he doesn't understand
And the fairytale is breaking
And he's tired and he's aching
And he's making more mistakes, the Earth is shaking
And he's staking all his hope

On this fragile kind of notion
On this crazy new emotion

He's not always the bad guy
The story doesn't need a bad guy
(The story doesn't need a bad guy)
To go on

Youth seemed sweeter, but if I could return
All I've learned would be forfeit
I won't go back

There's a palace
There's a prince

In the tower
Lives a teacher

By the fire rests a fighter

They've never really cared too much for constants.

FAQ

Q: What do you use to make music?
A: I record and produce my audio in Audacity with a Blue Yeti microphone.

Q: Can I [cover/animate/make anything inspired by] your music?
A: Of course! Nothing would make me happier! All I ask is that you give proper credit by including a link back to my channel or to the song you used, and that you let me know when it comes out so that I can watch it!

Q: Can you put this on [Spotify/Apple Music/iTunes]?
A: Well... that depends on what kind of video you're watching right now. If it's a cover, the answer would have to be no, for legal reasons. However, if you're watching one of my original songs, you're in luck -- you should be able to find my music in almost all stores under the name Spectral Heart!
