This is a very rough demo of a song I've been working on. I recorded it on my iPhone, playing the piano that I learned on as a child. It's in bad repair these days and sounds like it, but it has a special place in my heart.
The song is about the aftermath of an alien abduction where a couple have had something installed in them that will record their thoughts and memories, and that in some strange way connects them to each other. They weren't supposed to be aware of it, but at least one of them is.
Lyrics:
When the stars came closer
We were all at first afraid
But when the night was over
We only wished that they had stayed
Tell me, have I grown transparent?
Can everybody see right through my skin?
And are my bones apparent?
Does everybody know where I have been?
They've taken something from me
And left a vacuum in its place
A mouth that's always hungry
An absence nothing can replace
It's something that we owe each other
A fire that burns eternal, bright
It's a part of us that lives forever
Far from these pale orange city lights
Oh tell me you have not forgotten
Tell me everything will work out right
Promise me you'll be there waiting
Far from these pale orange city lights
