#232 - New song and school-related ramblings.

Cynthia's Lullaby [Sendspace; mp3]
Named after one of my fandom OCs. The song's from her POV, singing her twin brother to sleep. Yeah. Uh. I'll just leave it at that.

I pretty much nailed down the main parts (chords, lyrics, melody, arrangement) on Wednesday, and have just been futzing around with the details since then. In particular I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with the brief instrumental part after the third stanza, but other than that, this song is mostly performable. Apologies in advance for crappiness on the part of the thing recording and the one performing.

Cynthia's Lullaby

darling, it's time to rest
hide away like the fading light
forget those sins unconfessed
and sail on into the night

darling, just close your eyes
I know you're tired from this fight
but don't you heed the angel's lies
it's okay to love the endless night

darling, we'll never be apart
we're the only thing here that's right
torn from each other at the start
we belong together in the night

darling, it's time for me to go
for the dawn is burning bright
but listen to me and know
I will always be there in the night

I have my art history mid-term on Tuesday. Part of said mid-term involves a 45-minute essay in which we have to write in detail about six works of art as they pertain to the essay question. I am not looking forward to this.

Also, I'm two chapters behind in Neuro. orz (Three if you count this week's chapter, but the raw for that hasn't come out yet.)
