high in the pine
watching them fly
all one by one, going
up in the sky
all sing goodbye
watch the whole flock growing
a chill on the wind
a journey begins
wherever the current's flowing
into the unknown
they don't fly alone
they all know where they're going
oh take me with you
i want to fly too
Small, short, and plucky, because small, short, and plucky birds and delightful.
Meistr, KieranValor, Eune, Kawamori, Rukku - Summer Rain
by Meistr on Sep 05, 2024[Kawamori]
I could think of you all day (all day)
Reminiscent of summer rain
sweet nothings of your voice
Soaring through my heart
[KieranValor]
Your voice fills my head
Like the chirping of birdsong
Hypnotic, alluring,
Calming and numbing
[Eune]
Gimmie your sound
Gimmie your love
Its oh so sweet
Makes my heart skip a beat
In the shadow sky so dark
A bird with a broken heart
Sings a tune so torn apart
Whispered secrets in the park
[Chorus]
In a realm of night
Where shadows play
I hear the song
Of birds at bay
Their cries, they weave
A tale so deep
[Verse]
Lift me up, the bird's song's fading
Through the noise, my heart's still aching
Lift me up, the bird's song's fading
Lift me up, my heart's still aching
[Bridge]
Shades of gray inside of me
Oh this heart just won't be free
Dissonant the melody
Find the truth in apathy
[Chorus]
In a realm of night
Where shadows play
I hear the song
Of birds at bay
Their cries, they weave
A tale so deep
[Outro]
Hear the bird's song in the night
Echoes fading out of sight
Memories take to the flight
All the wrongs won't make it right
They told us lies from day one
Feathers, wings, under the sun
But I see gears, I see steel
Tell me, can you feel what's real?
Cameras in the beaks they hide
Flying high, they can't be denied
Silent drones, they watch, they spy
Feathered fakes in the endless sky
Don’t trust the flutter, don’t trust the flight
Mechanical shadows in the dead of night
They’ve seen every move you’ve made
Programmed to deceive, designed to invade
Birds aren’t real, it’s all a lie
Built by the government to watch from the sky
Wings of deception, feathers of steel
What’s flying above us is not what you feel
Birds aren’t real, it’s all a game
Controlled from the shadows, they don’t have names
The truth is hidden, the message concealed
What you see in the sky is never revealed
Satellite wings, cold machine eyes
Wired circuits disguised as skies
They perch on power lines to charge
While feeding data, watching large
Your every word, your every move
Stored in silence, no way to prove
The cage was never meant to hold
They’re tracking all, young and old
Alternative title: Trying to see how much a Mocking Bird can mimic from my composition! Spoilers... not a whole lot.
Another beatless entry from me, this time with some very sparkly ethereal synths, playing some very cute and slightly waltzey melodies and chords. It's very free flowing, and quite pretty, maybe too pretty lol. The track as a composition is very simple from a sound design point of view. There's only really 5-6 instruments total playing the melodies, but that's because i honed in on the composition rather than the sound itself. Imagine a piano piece, but instead of a piano it's all sparkly synths. I don't know, it sounds uplifting and cute, that's all i can say. Have fun, hope you enjoy!
He just likes to sing and be proud of his chunkiness.
Come out for summer's day, out in the breeze
Come hear the robin's play, up in the trees
Something like that? I didn't write the lyrics down, I ad-libbed them
