Yeah, I'm not dead. I've just been super duper busy. I have a few other projects in the works, including some that aren't on "the list". Hopefully I'll have them done soon.

Anyways, this song is absolutely not in my comfortable range, as the chorus sits right smack dab in the middle of my passaggio. So if it sounds like I'm straining at all...it's because I am. Still, I'm surprised by how well this turned out. It's a testament to how much actually studying voice is helping me, because I would not have been able to pull this off in its original key a year ago

Lyrics:

It is alright if I am a fool
Because my dream still shines like a jewel
I say goodbye to those cerulean days

Now I know that I must trust my fate
And that someday I have to learn to be mature
But I fear the soiled fruit of hate-- its sweet and sinful lure...

Just the very ripest fruit are harvested from the tree
With knife in hand I will demand to swallow all the knowledge that I see

So we were searching for our own Shangri-la--
We did not attempt to slake our endless thirst
And consumed by our desires,
We sought 'freedom' even though we knew it cursed
Yet now we say we've payed off the price
We've found our way into 'paradise'
I say goodbye to those cerulean days

Red and sweet, a siren used to sing
Though high above it was the apple of our eye
We were willing to do anything
To reach that tainted sky

But we only notice what's important once it is gone
That sin that sung to us, so young
Still keeps us both so lost within its song!

I am not willing to let my memories die,
I will always hold onto those days of bliss
I can still learn how to fly,
Even though I'm wounded from the black abyss
It is alright if I am a fool
Because my dream still shines like a jewel
I say goodbye to those cerulean days

Though disguised by innocence, I now see the truth is that the sky
Was just a sinner all along...

So we were searching for our own Shangri-la--
We did not attempt to slake our endless thirst
And consumed by our desires,
We sought 'freedom' even though we knew it cursed
Now I leave the distance behind, and I know the wonders that my hands can make
But I still do not understand
For my heart is young and is not yet awake
Yet now I say I've payed off the price
I've found my way into 'paradise'
I say goodbye to those cerulean days
