Priceless

A red giant lurks past the horizon

The red tape is all we’ve got our eyes on

The void makes all devoid;

What was, is not-won’t be.

This truth that we avoid:

expendability.

I bang the drums of the doldrums

What an incredibly appropriate percussion prop. I do hope, when this is said and done, you will gather all these up, collect them on one recording, and sell it on Amazon or Etsy. I would totally love a copy!

That means so much-thank you! The obstacles and enormity of such a project have always intimidated me, but I feel more and more these days that it could be doable. Thank you for the vote of confidence <3

I really enjoyed this, especially the second stanza. Another usual great job!

[encrefloue]

Thank you so much! It's definitely a new direction for me to take comfort in that void.

This song is amazing!!! I love what you did with the prompt and what could be a more appropriate prop?! The wordsmithing and message here are so great. This is probably one of my favorite of your pieces for this idol run and all your pieces have been so good this time!

[encrefloue]

Awwwww, thanks so much, my friend! I wasn't expecting to like the result as much as I do, and I do all the more now to know that it resonates with you!

I love the percussion prop! And I really like the lyrics - the play on words really give it great meaning.

I really appreciate that! So glad you found the lyrics to be effective.
