This is my submission for the Express Yourself 2025 contest!
I really wanted to push myself to make a song that really goes places within the short time frame and feels complete rather than being a snippet of an actual full song. I'm super proud of this one; it's almost like a song from a musical in how i wrote it, i think? i think this is the most i've used my music theory knowledge at one time ahaha
LYRICS:
Well,
What do we have here?
I disappeared
into the void.
It's
It's you, not me,
Who's incomplete.
All misconjoined.
When you said to me:
Please don't ever leave.
Thought I knew what you meant-
I was mistaken then.
Why can't we work it out?
You're overreacting now.
Forget the words I said,
Forget our love is dead.
And I'm feeling dead.
Dead.
Dead to you.
Nothing but a spirit.
Haunting and haunting.
For...
evermore.
Between these boards,
A silent tone.
You
You can just say
You're just afraid
To be alone.
But please listen, listen, listen.

No I understand haha, the results were very surprising to me too. Part of me wonders how fair some of us played the "don't leverage your crowd to farm votes" game. At any rate, I'm also used to being exposed to people with all sorts of tastes. Maybe it only comes down to that. Maybe most voters have tastes I really don't relate to, and that's okay :D
I can understand the itch to feel sour right now, but ultimately, I think I'm happy with the ratings I got from the jury, the challenge I put on myself to make my own track at all, and that I took part in a community event like this one. I can't wait to get back to my song, expand it, and give it a new life.
I look forward to more music from you as well! The show must go on 😎🎸
