Song 8: 'The Night Belongs to Me' (Patreon)

I have been chewing my nails off over this one for like 3 weeks. Audio engineer and instrument peeps spent a lot of time on it. X.X I have one more coming before the end of the year, maybe. I wanted to go back to what I did for ' Too Bright to Touch'. It had a very garage band feel haha. And I think somewhere along the way I was letting stuff get overproduced and putting my hand too much into the instrumental and engineering part of the process. I trust my people, both my friends that help on instruments and the audio engineer I hire to produce the music I make. And I want to stress that; Without the help I get doing this stuff it wouldn't be possible. I mean sure, I pay audio engineer, but no one is making him answer my rants and rambles at 2am when I'm spinning the fuck out about a segment. xP Boring part here, because I want to talk about the song itself. Skip the brackets if you wanna haha.( All lyrics are written by me, and all vocals are performed by me ,Sarah N., AKA Levi’s Creations.

I use AI-generated instrumentals early in the creative process to explore rhythm and direction. We then build a rough backing track using virtual instruments for me to sing over. My friends in the band perform the instrumental parts, and a paid audio engineer brings those performances together with my vocals, mixing and mastering the finished song.

Thank you for supporting the music we make, my loves. <3 )For the last two songs of the year, I wanted to get out of my own head and let Levi tell her story.

This was supposed to be finished for the Levi comic (LOL). Obviously, that did not happen.

Levi, much like her creator, loves harsh music with melodic transitions. And I could spend another paragraph explaining where I end and she begins, but honestly? I’d rather you just listen. :)

I have a Halloween special pack coming this weekend! For now, here are the lyrics.(This has already been uploaded to Spotify! along with Solo Una Chica Mas)

Grab your headphones and blow your fucking ears off. <3 THE NIGHT BELONGS TO ME

They named me for the deepSomething cold, something oldI thought the dark would break meInstead it made me whole

I didn't reach for lightI let it come to meEverything you think you seeIs just the beginning of what I'll be

The night belongs to meNot somewhere I go to hideThe night belongs to meThe part they couldn't touch when they triedI'm not the glow you chased across the skylineI'm what the glow was running fromThe night belongs to me

You think I'm a myth, untamed voltageThe bright face in the stormYou named a version of meI'd already outgrown

I shed the light in deep waterWhere nothing followsWhat came back upWasn't what went down

The night belongs to meNot somewhere I go to hideThe night belongs to meThe part they couldn't touch when they triedI'm not the glow you chased across the skylineI'm what the glow was running fromThe night belongs to me

It always hasEvery name is a cageEvery deed is a weightI am not what you thinkI am what remained

I AM THE DEEPI AM THE CASCADEI AM WHAT REMAINEDTHE NIGHT BELONGS TO ME

NOT SOMEWHERE I GO TO HIDEThe night belongs to meI stopped fighting the coldI'm not the glow you chased across the skylineI'm what the skyline learned to fearThe night belongs to meCome home

This is a brand new worldI see, I finally seeI'm not living blind anymoreI know what lives in meMine

I had to reach, to grasp her pale faceI hid it away, and chased it awayJust know what you've doneTHE NIGHT IS MINE!

(I had to reach, to grasp her pale faceI hid it away, to face a new day)THE NIGHT IS MINE!

(I had to reach, to grasp her pale faceI hid it away, to face a new day)THE NIGHT IS MINE!

(I had to reach, to grasp her pale faceI hid it away, to face a new day)THE NIGHT IS MINE!

(I had to reach, to grasp her pale faceI hid it away, to face a new day)The night is mine!The night is mine!The night is me
