awesome! love the production especially the vocals!

Wow, this is excellent. I love the gentle intro and how the tension builds up to the massive, echoed vocals. Brilliant story telling. 🎶💛

@witchleaf : Now....it is finally finished!!

We are absolutely thrilled to begin our showcase with a captivating film that will be complemented by a live performance incorporating various elements such as drums, percussion, sampling, and guitar. Certain sections of the performance, especially the catchy hook, are designed to have a deliberately rough and jagged quality. This creative choice is meant to resonate with the overarching post-apocalyptic theme we are presenting, reminiscent of an old and faded telephone recording that evokes a sense of nostalgia and desolation.

In addition to the film’s original soundtrack, we will be intricately integrating high-fidelity segments that serve to enhance and elevate the overall viewing and listening experience. Our performance is scheduled to take place in a beautifully quaint chapel, a setting where gentle light will stream through the intricately designed stained glass windows, thereby crafting a truly enchanting and ethereal atmosphere for everyone in attendance.

The conceptual foundation of our post-apocalyptic blues theme revolves around the figure of a bard who has managed to endure the cataclysmic end of the world and now roams through empty and desolate landscapes, sharing tales of survival and sorrow. This character has come to life through the inspiration gleaned from a deeply meaningful conversation with a beloved friend of mine, who I affectionately refer to as LitchWeaf.

I’d like to extend a heartfelt shout-out to the wonderfully creative Sera for joining me in what we fondly call “brainstorming”... isn't that a clever term? This collaborative effort, while resulting in a considerably larger workload than originally anticipated, is something I firmly believe will ultimately prove to be immensely rewarding and worth every moment we invest in it.
Here are the lyrics and the Introduction, let's call it part I-,




Let me tell you a story 'bout The Beautiful Negative
A post-apocalyptic duo, left over in the world that comes next
With souls as worn as leather and voices as smokey as bourbon
They traveled through the wasteland, singing songs of pain and regret


Their melodies were like echoes in the desolate streets
Their lyrics painted pictures of the broken hearts they'd seen
With every note they played, they brought a glimmer of hope
In a world gone dark, they were the flickering flame in the night


They sang of lost love and shattered dreams (oh yeah)
Of hope in the face of despair (yeah yeah)
The Beautiful Negative, they'll make you feel alive (make you feel alive)
In the world that comes next, they're the only light (oooh-yeah)

With hope in the face of despair, In a world that comes next to it, 


Allow me an afterthought. The stasis is the suspension. 

It will be you, you alone. There won't be any divine intervention

Silence burning through the clock that ticks inside of you 

Now I'm just lying in the big wait, the neverform, the old, the new

Not much longer now, & yet I wonder, 

Growing colder now
Just what do I want to say?
Faith, pray, hold on, for now... ok


Lost love
Shattered dreams
Oh yeah
Hope in the face of despair
Yeah yeah
The Beautiful Negative
Gonna make you feel alive
In the world that comes next
They're the only light


With hope in the face of despair
Yeah yeah
In a world that comes next to it
Oh yeah
The Beautiful Negative
They're gonna make a change
Spreading love and joy
Rearranging the range

The Beautiful Negative
They're gonna make a change
Spreading love and joy
Rearranging the range

The Beautiful...

With hope in the face of despair
Yeah Yeah
In a world that comes next to it
Oh yeah
The Beautiful Negative

They're gonna make a change
Spreading love and joy
Rearranging the range
The Beautiful...
