stars and spinning bodies

Liner Notes

#piano #instrumental #emotional #dramatic #hopeful

eee hi! this is not only my first fawm song submission, but my first song ever πŸ₯Ή i'd planned on just writing lyrics for this challenge but seeing all the amazing songs by everyone here inspired me to try out composing!

i'm super sick at the moment so singing is not an option, but the lyrics i wrote below informed on my creation process. the theme i'm choosing to explore this month is how people relate to the universe (philosophically). i had verses too but they're very wip so maybe someday when i'm feeling better i'll record a full sung version πŸ™‚β€β†•οΈ honestly though i might just keep it as is because i think it's pretty as an instrumental??

arranged all by myself on cubase 12 using the spitfire intimate grand piano plugin! my partner @lumiacinth helped with mixing afterwards because that's all so new to me lol (one of the perks of having a musician bf πŸ’•)

ANYWAY yapping done for now, thank you so much for listening!

Lyrics

chorus 1 (section starting 0:56)

you see, nothing cares the stars and spinning bodies oh, nothing cares, i promise when you care for nothing we're the same dust found in comets it's the same dust, meaningless

chorus 2 + 3

you see, everything cares the stars and spinning bodies, oh, everything cares, i promise when you care for everything we’re the same dust, found in comets it’s the same dust, all of us

No reason not to have an instrumental version and a sung version both. I quite like the chorus lyrics. I'm sick too so I'm having trouble processing right now exactly where the lyrics line up to the music, I'll try to come back and listen again when my brain is working.

you're so right i should just give it a try! maybe i'm just nervous to match the intensity of the song, vocally πŸ₯² and oh no i hope we both recover soon !! πŸ«‚ i appreciate the listen thank you sm!

Oh this is lovely! Even with just the piano it has a deep emotional resonance and it's so soothing to listen to. Also first song EVER, wow! It's so impressive, I would never have guessed it was your first. You're off to a great start!

Super cool. Honestly - even as an instrumental piece - it's tells a story. Very nice!

Breathtaking! I love, love, love the key change at the end, elevates the chorus from cautiously optimistic to joyously hopeful. Great work!
