It's ALIIIVE!
It's wonderful to be back! And with a bit of a treat. Respin and I haven't collaborated on a song since "Become" in 2015 (my goodness how the time flies) and I'm SO thrilled to be working with her again!
This song is based on a webcomic by a dear friend of mine that I have had the privilege to be able to work on as of this year as a cowriter. The themes of found family and embracing your uniqueness resonate so much with me, especially having come out last year as nonbinary.
I hope you all enjoy! There's plenty more to come!
LYRICS:
Found you in a dark place
My little ghost
Bright eyes and a soft face
As you approached
I swore in the twilight
I'd keep you safe
Said I'd be your nightlight
When you're afraid
I said
You're my Tamberlane
We're caught in a moment I can't explain
I said
You're my Tamberlane
You won't be abandoned, not again
Not again
They don't understand you
It can't be helped
I know how it feels to
Want to blame yourself
But love is a slow tide
The waves will come
Your smile is so bright
You'll guide us home
Don't you know
You're my Tamberlane
They think we're so different
But we're the same
I know
You're my Tamberlane
You won't be abandoned, not again
Not again
We may not look alike
But I can feel your heartbeat in your chest
It's just like mine
We may not feel alike
But I can feel the love that you possess
It's just like mine
We may not seem alike
But I can feel the hope that gives you rest
It's just like mine
We may not sound alike
But I can feel the life in every breath
It's just like mine
That's why
You're my Tamberlane
My darling, whenever
You're lost in the rain
Remember
You're my Tamberlane
You won't be abandoned, not again
Not again
