Fallen

Everybody’s Fool (Remastered 2023)

Drifting low...
Nowhere to go...
Shadows call...
But I won’t follow...
Oh no!
I won't follow.

Falling footsteps, distant chimes,
A fading face erased the time.
The air is thick with things unsaid,
Soft regrets where love once bled.

A silver thread, the night unwinds,
The weight of ghosts still ties me blind.
I reach for light, but touch the cold,
A story lost, a hand untold.

Drifting low...
Nowhere to go...
Shadows call...
But I won’t follow...
Oh no!
I won't follow.

The wind moves slow through hollow streets,
A fading song, a ghost that speaks.
I chase the night, but lose my way,
The past still whispers, begs to stay.

Oh no!
I won't follow.

Today, I’m sharing the second version of my track Butterfly (with the third and final version coming next week alongside the official release). This Slow Piano Version is noticeably slower and more atmospheric than the previously released Piano Solo Version, offering a gentler, more introspective experience.

Remember, if you’d like to play it yourself, you can also grab the sheet music on Bandcamp via this link:

Enjoy the music, and let me know what you think in the comments! 

Yours truly,
Sebastian

Butterfly (Slow Piano Version)

>> VIDEO <<

A spark in the chaos, a glance in the night
Two particles drifting, colliding in flight
A billion to one, we still found our way
Through the cosmic confusion, you asked me to stay

We defied the odds, we broke the rules
In this world of chance, we're nobody's fools
Even if it's fleeting, I'll take the fall
'Cause finding you feels like beating them all

Time's an equation that none can escape
The longer we hold, the more things break
But I'd take the risk, rewrite every line
Just to know that for now, you are mine

We defied the odds, we broke the rules
In this world of chance, we're nobody's fools
Even if it's fleeting, I'll take the fall
'Cause finding you feels like beating them all

Maybe it breaks
maybe it bends
like a flicker of wonder
that quietly mends

It echoes through silence
then rises, ascends
a moment unmeasured
that somehow transcends

You and I
against the pull of entropy
The odds were wrong
You’re my improbability

"Celestial Sovereign" (https://soundcloud.com/api_zz/celestial-sovereign) was an early highlight in my beginnings with AI experimention. A (imho) perfect progrock track came up that needed not much further production than mixing. Attempting to stimulate AI to create similar results weren't very successful, though I won't claim to have tried "everything". Anyway, I took the AI lyrics from "Celestial Sovereign" and let a new AI song creator work with them, naturally aiming for some progrock à la "Celestial Sovereign". As suspected it didn't work out. Rather mainstream quasi-progrock tracks came up. Since only the vocals impressed me, I stripped off all accompanying instrumentations and fully replaced them. This is the result.

Speak Low - K. Weill

This song expresses the possibility of a new path forward in the midst of struggling to come to terms with a very sad breakup.

The structure is designed to connect to the future, so that the possibility of charting a new path is continuous.

This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花) using Synthesizer V.
Thank you so much for listening!


The lyrics are as follows (Japanese):
消えてゆく場所はここにあるの？
もう一度会うことも言うこともできないの？

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　涙に変えゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を描く

色褪せた過去の傷を背負い
夢の跡抱きしめて遥かなる道に立つ

始まりの終わりが何かを
告げて　姿を消しゆく
永遠の言葉はいつでも
儚く途切れて　新たな道を繋ぐ

the End of the Beginning

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.
