DISCLAIMER: You probably have some questions about the lyrics, especially during the song's conclusion. That's entirely my own fault: they were poorly written and convey the wrong message, implying that I consider self-harm or something worse. The truth is, I am fine (mostly). The song is instead meant to express how anxiety makes me feel and seems to take over my life, consuming my every thought and action, like I'm being swallowed up by waves. I don't know how I ended up pitted against anxiety, but I do my best to fight it until I can't anymore. But I'm okay. Nobody needs to worry about me. I'm doing fine and getting better. ... Sorry, that got dark REAL quick. This song is NOT for the meek-hearted lol So several months back (in like winter) my school was hosting a talent show. I originally planned to sing "Meet Me On the Battlefield" by SVRCINA and play the piano while I sang, but I was having some trouble getting the piano part to work with my singing. So I had the game-changing idea to write my own song to perform! I was actually surprised by both how easy and hard it was. It took me a grand total of 4.5 days (i know! i was super shocked by how shortly it was finished :O) and the end result was.... well, it was what it was, but the judges seemed to like it. After I got a cough on the day of the show and my performance got interrupted by the presence of a wild animal in the auditorium (yup, that happened to me), I did a lot better than I expected (with my friends' support, several water bottles and a whole pack of Lozenges). The kid who won the previous year won again, and I was a little disappointed, but I still had a blast, and apparently one of my siblings started a small fanclub for me at their school?! I really didn't deserve it but I thought it was hilarious and awesome. I was at first hesitant to post this on Scratch because 1. it's not very good and 2. I was afraid it might get stolen, but I eventually got over that, as you can see :) Also, the damper pedals on my piano don't work, so this is supposed to be much more smooth and legato oof And, though I'm an alto, I have NO lower register
I hope you like my song! :) CREDITS: Music: @PeriwinklePenguin11 (wow, that felt so good to write :'3) (also, when I wrote this I didn't even know heathers the musical existed, so there was no way i could have known that it also contains a song called "lifeboat" :/) Thumbnail (it's a concept for a cover album I made as a joke, but I might actually use it for something else later on): Moooooi I'm working on a couple of other songs, but with school and orchestra I'm not making much progress. One of them is about how everyone seems to be growing up without me and I'm still a naive little kid who is super attached to her parents and refuses to let go of her childhood self and another is about how amazingly fresh it felt once I got over my internal competition with my old orchestra rival. Parts of this song, including a few chords, were inspired by "Gravity" from Wolf's Rain. Listen to it, you'll see the similarities. However, that song is an absolute masterpiece, especially compared to this. EDIT 9/21/20: wow looking back at this i have no vocal range and my voice sounds way too harsh lmao x3 i might post a remastered version of this later if i can, it'll probably sound better hquigqiabrksd
