Pathways

For The Summertime

Younger & Dumber

hospital

“Shadows in the twilight” is a gentle English-language lullaby that paints a calm evening scene: sheep-like clouds drift across the sky, dewdrops shine like pearls on sleeping flowers, and moths circle a warm light. A warm female vocal rests over soft acoustic guitar or piano with delicate pads and glockenspiel, moving at ~70 BPM to encourage slow breathing and relaxation. The lyrics reassure and renew—inviting little ones (and tired parents) to unwind, drift into peaceful dreams, and wake to a brighter morning. Ideal for bedtime playlists, nursery ambience, and quiet family evenings.

Sheep-like clouds

[Verse]

Wait, you
Have you ever learnt a bad news
The ones that make you wanna throw up
When you hear the awful preaching silence

Of a world getting down on your knees
Freezing up your shoulders used to be 
The string between you and your guitar
I know it's fuzzy but it's true

I didn't know
That the moon could fly off
Next to my ocean eyes
In the edge of my hand

We cried bye

[Chorus]

To a house
Born from joy
And we burnt all the
Pictures and comic books

Since no hero 
Came to save 
The best dad of the world
When the angel came 

To take him down

[Verse]

Drive far
That's how my mom
Wanted to cope 
Leaving my sister cooking for herself

And I tried 
To prevent my bro 
To embrace that
Rope by the ceilings

But I doubt it
Since the mountains told me
To clear out my sour
Through the wind of my bikes

We cried bye

[Chorus]

To a house
Born from joy
And we burnt all the
Souvenirs and comic books

Since no hero 
Came to save 
The best dad of the world
When the angel came 

To take him down

[Bridge]

Since back then I've never cried
Since I must be the stable one
The one who'll be 
The load-bearing wall

Family of thousand flames
I promise I'll save you from
The bloody hands of God
Who took a good samaritan

[Outro]

But lately 
An outrageous rain fell down on me
And that's when I saw his lovely hair
As more than just a friend

"Kyle, are you okay ?"
He said to me
And I start crying again
In his arms

Guess his kindness
Reminded me
The niceness
Of my deceased father
