In Eternity

After my previous serious and depressing song, here is something fluffy and dreamy - and much shorter smile The song idea came to me when I woke up and a song was playing in my head - a girl playing an acoustic guitar and singing the line "in eternity" - and as usually happens, I stole the idea. I don't know whose song it was or did it just exist in my dream. But I took it as a songwriting excercise to finish it. Okay, I used AI to suggest changes for the lyrics, but I used only one suggestion, modified. AI nicely summarized the theme "Is eternity a comfort or a curse?", I hope I've handled it profoundly enough.

I selected Natalie for the lead vocalist, her voice resembles the country voice from my "wakeup moment", but I had to smooth her voice and tame her vibrato quite a bit. I used version 200 and I tried the version 201, but it totally ruined the soft tone, so I had to stick with the older version. NOA Hex's calm sound brought a nice harmony alongside Natalie. I'm not totally happy about the la-la section, but I liked that melody and wanted to include it - it didn't work when played with an instrument, only with vocals, maybe it could have worked by whistling, but I don't know how to get SynthV voices to whistle.

It was easy to find the best possible BIAB instruments. The fingerpicking guitar #2932 provided nice indie mood for the song. And the acoustic soloist #3700 is always a safe bet - although I had to do quite many partial regenerations until the solo was perfect. And guzheng has a lovely sound - I like these world music RTs and hope there will be more in the future.

Lyrics:

If there's all the time in eternity
I'll smooth my jaggedness and learn
from my past while I yearn
to be ready when you return.
If I am cursed, I repeat my mistakes
and you haven't changed, still causing me ache
we promise each other a brighter start
and keep on dreaming when we drift apart.

In eternity, is there longing for love,
diary dreams, elusive fantasies
questions who's meant for me, eternally?

What if there's no time in eternity
would I live in infinite regret
chances missed, can't forget
heartbreaks woven into a net.
if I am blessed, we will hover in love
and you'll always be my peaceloving dove
in eternal embraces and endless fun
would they be just for the chosen ones?

In eternity, is there longing for love,
diary dreams, elusive fantasies
questions who's meant for me, eternally?

The beauty of chance encounters
and the falling for casual gestures
are they solace I crave
or wounds abyss can't erase?
in eternity, in eternity.
