Blithe (A Tribute to Basilisk) - Short Clip

Sorry this is only a short clip from the entire song. I'm still working on it... this is also another song written for my Songwriting II class midterm solo project (To Me To You was written for Songwriting I) and the main element this time is irregular meters which I tried to incorporate into the song the way I like it...

This is written for both Oboro and Gennosuke from the anime series Basilisk, (potential spoiler ahead) especially for the ending of the story... when they both (censored) and (censored) ... er... haha yea... please consider watching the anime if you haven't yet, it is a beautiful yet bitter love story (between two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga.

I know I do this all the time, but I want to apologize should I misinterpret anything (I'm afraid to explain too much about the lyrics by the way, in case of spoilers) but I hope the meaning somehow is clear... pardon my mistakes, and if the song ever sound weird to you, I'm really sorry, this is the first time ever that I wrote a song with irregular meters.. *bows* dozo yoroshiku!

(this clip is the bridge of the song, leading to the second verse followed by a short chorus)

Lyrics:

Hold me now
Close your eyes
Just lay down
Here, your pyre
Hold me now
Close your eyes
Just lay down
We sleep afire

Here we embrace
Here we lay face to face

Take in this moment with me

We have everything
We can be anything
Now we are to live sacredly

In a bliss
in a blink
Eternally never to be scared of what might be

I give you everything, offering anything
Now that we are free
You and me
(writer's block)

Thank you for listening!
