"Unanswered Prayer" - Fallen Leaves
Song by JayZero
I've recently released a developing album dubbed "Fallen Leaves", every song of which is inspired by a motif heard from @AniFAE_Productions on YouTube (please check him out, he posts good stuff), the subject being Project SciFae. Essentially, the vibe should be 80s cyberpunk, or retro-futuristic (whatever floats your boat), with a generally dark feel and a touch of fantasy, hence some tracks being a mix of synths & some orchestral instruments.
This one's a bit of a rising star, which I'd never guess. It's different from my usual style of high-tempo, complicated melodies & beats. And yet, this one had the most structure despite being relatively simple, so it essentially wrote itself! The vibe should feel moody, morose, and at some point, downright terrifying before we arrive to a tribute for the dead. This one's got a sequence--
Our protagonist, who we'll call "Y", has already seen much of the unthinkable and is now a commander of a starship, cruising through space with a sizable crew at her beck and call. During Y's travels, an operator called her over as he picked up a broken transmission. Things continue to get tense as Y stood over his shoulder, perusing the details she could just make out. Suggestions tell of an imminent disaster, and it became clear that this is a call for help. However, the signal fades, and Y could realize what had transpired. We reveal a derelict freighter, floating amidst debris and traces of a rift in space-time. It became too real for Y as she laments the ill-fated crew, that space traversal without support will mean certain death. Any prayer for help will only receive silence, as was the case with the freighter. Y held her head low, paying tribute to the fallen, followed by her crew as we see a wide shot of everyone gathered at the bridge standing in solemn silence.
With everything as it stands...
None extend a helping hand...
Every foundation bereaves...
Unanswered prayers, now Fallen Leaves.
