Steven Universe - Stronger Than You (Remix)

I love this show, it's got some great characters, entertaining stories, just the right amount of absurdity and a lot of heart. It's also got a wonderful soundtrack, courtesy of the talented duo of Aivi & Surasshu, whose jazz piano + chiptune style has some interesting parallels to my own metal + orchestra approach. So here's my tribute to the wonderful music of Steven Universe, a 12 minute whirlwind tour of Steven's world done in my usual Symphonic Metal style. Translating some of this music led me in some rather odd directions, but I had a lot of fun doing this :)

Original versions of all of the songs can be found over at Aivi & Surasshu's soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aivisura

Music written by Aivi & Surasshu, Rebecca Sugar, Jeff Liu and probably some other folk I'm forgetting. All instruments arranged, performed and/or programmed by me (The L-Train). Special thanks to SmastersonMusic and Samuel Dawant for providing transcriptions of some of the songs. My sincerest apologies to Cartoon Network, the Steven Crewniverse and all of the Steventhusiasts around the world.

So the week of Sardonyx is over and the Crewniverse beat me to the punch with Garnet approaching Pearl about her recent actions (previous to the lying to form sardonyx. I couldn't predict that)

I was gonna go all out and make it an awesome wall of sound but seeing as this song is now superfluous, I just did a quick one take demo, seeing as I HAD finished writing it...

Lyrics

Garnet:
Old friend, I know you're hurting
You can't pretend that this is working
I can see it in your eyes, your smiles are masking cries
And your voice breaks when your strength wavers.

I know that you've been trying
To disagree; that would be lying
But the thing that Steven needs is not the same as you or me
Didn't Rose love that earth is full of different flavours?

Ooooh
I can see her in his face too
Ooooh
Maybe we should do like humans do;
And take it a day at a time
We've made it this far; I'm sure we'll be just fine.

Pearl:
Old friend, how do you do it?
How do you pretend there's nothing to it?
I know you're not alone, but out of everyone I've known
You're the only one who lives so freely

Both:
You have seen as much as I have
And we have been to limbo and back

Pearl: 
But Rose, she was my rock, now I've forgotten how to walk
Without her absence in my steps

Ooooh
I can see her in his face
Ooooh
And it makes me feel so out of place
It makes me just want to go home
But Rose is the only home I've ever known

Garnet:
*spoken* I know it's easy for you to say things that you don't really mean when you feel this way. But can you honestly say that if you could bring Rose back, that you would give everything up that you have now?

Pearl:
*spoken* I... I couldn't... I... I wouldn't!

Garnet:
Doesn't that boy have so much about him?

Pearl:
It's hard to believe he's only half gem

Garnet:
But ain't it a shame that that's the thing that makes us doubt him?
When after all, he brought us closer
To them (gems or humans idk it's up to you)
And that's something not even Rose could do

Pearl:
Yes I... I suppose that's true...

*spoken* Garnet... What do I do now?

Garnet:
Just take it easy
And know that we're on your side;
These things take time

Pearl:
Ooooh, you know,
He has never felt her touch,
But ooooh
I have never known one love so much...

Garnet:
And that is because of you.
And me, and Greg,
And Amethyst too
And that's what Steven has the power to do, the power to do

Pearl:
Yes, I know that's true.

These Things Take Time (SU Fan Song)

What did you all think of StevenBomb 3? I loved it, though watching Pearl struggle through the week was excruciating (in a good way?) ~ So here's my extended symphonic rock version of Amethyst's song from Cry for Help.
