Letra:

Home, in this game we play
Stunned, then whisked away
Staring out into a nightmare

Stuck years in the past
I stepped through the looking glass
And descended to an empty world.

Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life?

Those that died, they left behind
Cryptic writings to explain
Four heroes once were promised
Too late, these tablets and fossils
All that remains

Breaking through from the ground
Is there still hope
Waiting here to be freed
Can this world be restored, will it rise up
If I planted the seeds
Could I bring it back to life?

We will flood the sky
With unearthly light
But if every lantern dies
Do we all fall down?

Just a wish to sow
So I carved our hope
Filled it up
Then let it go

In a world lighter than air
Could a dream that's lost be healed?
The hope I held beside me
Took flight as I entered this wasteland
Daylight revealed

Buried under the ground
Is there no hope
Waiting here to be freed?
Like this world we'll be dead
Will we rise up
If I planted the seeds...

When I fall back to sleep and I'm dreaming
I'll look up to the clouds
If it's out there to see, to believe in
There's no reason to doubt

Step out into the world
We're not homestuck
Take the chance to be free
'Cause this land can't be dead
We will rise up
So I planted the seeds
And I'll bring it back to life.

[YouTube embed: Back to Life - Recording Video]

So this is a Homestuck related song I've been working on for quite some time, it's only recently that I've done the final part and edited all of the footage from the recording sessions together.

Back to Life is based around a reworking of the 'Cyan Beast' theme for Jane set during the exploration of LoCaH during myststuck. Somewhere in my tumblr archive there's a short video with an early draft of the chorus idea. I think I wrote about 4 different verses for the song before landing on one I was happy with.

This piece features two of my friends on Vocals and Trumpet. A big thanks to Clouds for their wonderful vocal performance and to Adam for not complaining about the key too much.

There are actually 2 other pieces of music that go with this to make a small suite, a short piano introduction and a more orchestral piece based once more around the Cyan Beast theme. I should be posting the full suite on soundcloud soon.

The piano solo towards the end is quite tricky (and is also another nod towards Cyan Beast). Full lyrics are included in the Youtube description. I hope you enjoy the song.
