Wow, it sure has been a while, hasn't it? I usually put out more music than I have lately, so this year's been a little slow. Part of that is life, part of it is low inspiration, and most of all it's due to the fact I switched my entire workflow away from Windows and had to re-learn so much software and equipment. It all took a while, but I think it's smooth sailing now! As well as the usual slow-moving projects like Acoustic 3, I've been working on a new album called "Casting Shadows" that I can't wait to share with you on October 18th!
Like a lot of the upcoming songs, "Eternal Lullaby" was inspired by my recent experiences in the Elden Ring DLC "Shadow of the Erdree". This song mourns from the perspective of St. Trina, the discarded half of demigod Miquella, and the beloved deity of sleep. She questions why he would ever separate from her, and despite still feeling love for her other half, she sings out a sorrowful curse that he may never ascend to his dangerous goals.

Lyrics:
A flower left forgotten
And wished to drift in sleep
A heart stolen
Broken open
Blooms a sea of dreams
That pools within the deep
I saw the loss in your eyes
So did it hurt to leave behind
The pieces of your soul
That made us whole
Two hearts betwixt one mind
It kills me
Now to see you throw
Your love into the dregs below
As heartbreak sings a sweet
Eternal lullaby
The branches now you cling to
A garden wrought with thorns
It's a shame, and now a travesty
That you'd root out every part of me
And in that void
A loveless god reborn
I saw the loss in your eyes
So did it hurt to leave behind
The pieces of your soul
That made us whole
Two hearts betwixt one mind
It kills me
Now to see you throw
Your love into the dregs below
As heartbreak sings a sweet
Eternal lullaby
Creep, let them creep
Oh twisted vines at fate's direction
Sleep, put to sleep
Choking tears of your rejection
Deep, cut so deep
I dreamt an end to your ascension
I saw the loss in your eyes
So did it hurt to leave behind
The pieces of your soul
That made us whole
Two hearts betwixt one mind
It kills me
Now to see you throw
Your love into the dregs below
As heartbreak sings a sweet
Eternal lullaby
