Escape (Express Yourself Contest First Place 2021)
Lyrics:
Somewhere, in the eyes of the everlasting.
Somewhere, beyond the seeds of those who never worry.
Somewhere, there's a place for you and me to be happy.
I can only hope that we will ever make it there.

Oh dear, this one really took the soul out of me. I'm not even sure how to properly express the range of emotions that I went through for this song to come up as it did over the past however many days since early January. I heard about the contest Express Yourself Contest here on FA, and I just I panicked! I panicked and panicked because I was busy and I wasn't sure what genre or what I should express with and well, I made a few songs, and I hated them all. They sounded "alright" to me but just didn't show who I really am, and what my style is. I thought "Why don't I just make what sounds good? Will that work?" and I tried and tried, but it wasn't me, I was getting frustrated. Last night though I couldn't sleep just like many nights, I was tossing and turning and in a moment I just felt something bubble up from inside and I needed to get it out. I ran to my computer and put my headphones on, wrote this song and sang from the heart, didn't think about genres or what chords, I just sat and played and took slow breaths. It all fell together as if almost like magic! I guess all I needed was to be true to myself. Not to panic and just let go of the nerves, just make music that reflects who I am, and that's where this comes from. I'm glad that this is what came of it all and honestly I wouldn't want anything else. This song is bittersweet and sad and bright and imperfect and nostalgic... just like how I feel and how I see myself. I'm an emotional critter.
The lyrics personally reflect how I often fantasize about wonderful and wild emotions and places and scenarios as a retreat. I think plenty of furries (like me) do this, imagine and create and feel to escape. I made sure to keep the lyrics vague enough to allow others to interpret them as they will, and apply them to themselves. Maybe an oasis in a desert, or the end of a show? I don't know. The point is that at the end of the day I am just an odd fluffy dork trying to be happy, and trying give light to my emotions and the emotions of others through honest music.
I hope you all enjoy this one, from the bottom of my patched up little heart.

Holy, just wow, this sounds so beautiful! keep up the amazing work! <3
I love how many emotions go through me when listening to this. It's beautiful in a feeling of longing and imagination. It can be happy, sad, and peaceful! The song is very soft, but the feelings hit hard!
It makes me happy to hear how the song has hit ya, I think imagination is a beautiful and wild thing. Thanks for sayin' this, really.
Thanks! A wonderful place is such a lovely thing to envision, I can't blame you for wanting to go there, if only I could see what you saw.
This one just washed over me. It's awesome. Now to towel off.
"from the bottom of my patched up little heart" You're a wonderful person, leme, and you continue to inspire us. this is beautiful
Aaaw yeesh dude! Yur gonna make me cry! Thanks so much for sayin' this.
Hey, sorry it took me so long to see this. I really appreciate you sayin' so, it means the world to me.
Oooah... The textural bubbles of the beat and other percussion combined with the serene synths and your voice makes me feel all floaty... I really enjoyed this track, excellent job!
Thanks so much fren'! I'm happy that this one's done that for you, I really have a huge soft spot for dreamy and floaty sounds. It's something I can only wish to get better at in the future, so you saying this is a really reassuring sign, again, thank you!
Of course! And I have no doubt you'll get even better, I look forwards to hearing more!
