Name: Let's Make A Music Theme by Scott & Gilbert

Description: The theme song for Let's Make a Music, our Podcast. You can find us at http://letsmakeamusic.podbean.com or on iTunes!

Finally, new song! I've been gone for way too long, I know.
This one was commissioned by terezi-shmerezi for her story. It takes place in a futuristic but steampunk world and centers around a young woman named Rosa who can communicate with ghosts and see the inevitable death of anyone she touches. 
•••
She walks like no woman that I’ve ever seen before
like dancing on the air instead of dancing on the floor
and each step she takes just fills you with such grace
that you’re always left wanting more.

I’ve heard but some whispers that I cannot quite believe
I’ve heard that she keeps men and women hanging to her sleeve
and begging for some scraps of her voice of golden silk
which they will, gratefully, receive.

But they say, oh they say, that her skin is a spell
and they see, oh they see, the sadness in her eyes when she wishes them farewell

Oh dancing girl, let’s see you twirl, we will watch you through the night
and when you feel us, you will know us, you will see a horrid sight
they tell me you can foretell the doom of every hand within your clutch
and all the mortals will cower before your touch.

She seems to reach the sky with her gloves of woven milk
and every star she touches falls into her palm of silk
and every time she pulls off them off and leaves her fingers cold
her smile turns sad and wise and so old.

But they tell of some darkness that haunts behind her eyes
They say that she hears whispers, they say that she is wise
they say that they have heard her saying in her sleep
that everyone eventually dies.

And she cries, oh she cries, and never answers why
but there are whispers that she knows endings and she knows how we will die.

Oh cursed child, let’s see you smile, at the people you have doomed
and paint the patterns on the floor when you dance across the room
oh young companion, let’s see your gold skin, it is nearly too much
and you will grow up learning to fear your touch.

Lyrics: 

It was a long and silent cry 
She spoke before she died 
I never true knew why 
I even tried 
Then just ivory lips she left 
To speak the words of the dead 
And this was what she said, fast losing sight 

When the heart does cease to beat 
How long must the mind survive? 
For only seconds split 
Until the night 
Or do agony hours ensue 
To follow the light inside of you 
Until it’s sudden through 
Into the blue 

It was a long and drawn-out sigh 
I breathed before I died 
I never true knew why 
She even tried 

Then just empty eyes I left 
To see the world of the dead 
As quietly she fled, out of my sight

Ivory

"We have to carry on."

This song is dedicated to the 4 men who've made my life ever so much brighter since I started listening to this podcast. Based on The Adventure Zone arc, The Stolen Century.

Side note: I've never orchestrated a piece and then sung on top of it so I'm hoping the blend/mix of this turned out okay? Oh well.

Lyrics below.

Chosen for this trip, 
Aboard our sailing ship, 
We wore our bravest face. 
But, we seven young explorers,
Knew nothing of the horrors, 
Creeping in the inky depths of space.

As the dark descends,
We see worlds coming to an end,
’Til everything is gone. 
Racing against time, 
Wielding body, heart, and mind.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.

We think we’re safe and then, 
The darkness strikes again. 
Feeding on the light that which we seek.
We can try and run away, 
But the Hunger’s here to stay. 
Preying on the hopeless, small and weak.

As the dark descends,
We see worlds coming to an end,
’Til everything is gone. 
Racing against time, 
Wielding body, heart, and mind.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.

Put your hand in mine,
We are running out of time. 
Put your hand in mine,
We are running out of time. 
Put your hand in mine,
We are running out of time. 
Running out of time. 
Running out of time.

As the dark descends,
We see worlds coming to an end,
’Til everything is gone. 
Racing against time, 
Wielding body, heart, and mind.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.

The cover that sent us shivering back to our dorm rooms on a chilly February afternoon.
