EDIT: I’m live on twitch now, game starting in about 30 mins. Also, tell me what you think of this song! These comments are lonely and I like interacting here.

REAL QUICK This Thursday and Friday, Jan 28/29 I'm going to be streaming "Golf with Friends", and I'm going to make a public room.

If you have the game, come join us (Thursday - 9pm eastern, Friday -6pm eastern) on Twitch.tv/PepperCoyote. I'll make a room and tell everyone the password on stream.

Thursday is the test run and Friday is my little birthday stream.

This is a commission/collaboration where Jade Lynn (Fellow Patron and all around nice person) wanted me to help them finish a song that THEY had started writing many years ago. Together we worked a melody and some lyrics into this final product.

Jade also SINGS this song, along with another fellow patron: "H" aka Hentaiphiliac. Doing a little remote studio work has been hugely positive, especially with the continued isolation. I appreciate their patience and hard work in regards to their vocal takes.

It features a piano and bass interplay at the beginning, and the verse has a pretty smooth groove if I do say so myself. The electric guitar near the end has 3 overdubbed layers and I really like the power it adds. I don't know why more people don't do layered electric.

Commissioned, lyrics, and lead vocals by: Jade Lynn

Backing Vocals: H and me

Intro: [Am Am/G Em, Am Am/G Em F, Am Am/G Em. F. . . ]x2

Am G

Safe Haven surrounds me in my mind

G G/E F

passersby assuming I am fine

F Dm G   Am G

Knowing nothing but the void that fills my heart space

  Am G

I cry out hobbled in my dreams

G       G/E F

falling fast, no longer can I fly

Dm  G    Am G

all my hopes are dashed and ripped to pieces

Am Am/G Em7  Am Am/G Em7  F   Am Am/G Em7 F 

Slicing through the grave embrace that holds me

F

I find I'm running once again

Needn't worry

Dm C/E  F

I’ve learned this much, that they’ll always find me

Dm C/E

But maybe this time, I'll be dead

F  C/E

Maybe this time, I’ll be damned

Dm C/E  G F. . . E7

Maybe this time, I'll be a saint again

E7

Be a saint again

Safe Haven surrounds me in my mind

passersby assuming I am fine

Knowing nothing but the void that fills my heart space

I cry out hobbled in my dreams

falling fast, no longer can I fly

all my hopes are dashed and ripped to pieces

Dm F

Now I feel my skin is burning

G

the licking flames at my back

G (bass F E)

you finally found me here

Dm F

Maybe it will be worth saving me this time

G

maybe we’ll break through

My hope lies with you

(bass F E) Dm7

My future flies on your heights

Safe haven surrounds me in my mind

passersby assuming I am fine

Knowing nothing but the void that fills my heart space

I cry out hobbled in my dreams

Falling fast, no longer can I fly

cut me down, I’ll rise up like the Phoenix

Aw shucks, you'll ruin my bad reputation X3 Pepper, you helped me immensely and I will be sharing this with as many people as will listen, so hopefully it drags in some new followers for you.

The hard work on the vocals shows. I also like the melodic complexity from the keyboard, and later rhythm and lead guitar and backing vocals, filling out the vocal passages.

This is really good. The whole song gives me the vibe of like a late 90's music video where there'd like be a woman in some empty void that's lit up in dark colors, wearing a long, flowy silk dress with sleeves that hit the ground, and really long hair, and there's a giant fan that's blowing wind on her, making her dress extend behind her, and she's just slowly flapping her arms in the wind to make the dress change shape. And at the same time, the singers are slowly panning across the screen as they sing, but slightly transparent. That's just what I imagine while listening to this. It's good. I really like the electric guitar that comes in at the last chorus. It gives it that extra element that makes the song feel more full and energetic. Good job on both singers.
