Mandrake - Long Walk Home [SHADOW]

about

so my track’s take on the picture was less focusing on what was directly in it (with exception of the library of course), but more focusing on the actual vibe of the photo, and to me I got a big vibe of walking home as the sun sets, coming home after a long day out, and wanting to tell all your friends what cool stuff you found out or discovered.

This track is in 5/8 (quintuplets)

lyrics

[“verse”]
I spend most of my time daydreaming
stories that make no sense but mean a lot to me
but what about the stories in someone else's mind?
maybe their story can spark another song of mine

[“chorus”]
and if im ever caught thinking aloud ill close the pages to my thoughts and
shroud them like a day time rain cloud, reading away from the crowd
ill tell you all about it just gotta finish reading and ill be, walking home from the library

[““verse””]
the streetlights give the pavement an orange glow
i can hear the rivers white noise as they flow
stars are peeking through the sunlit sky
hopefully I get home before night arrives

[““chorus””]
and if im ever caught thinking aloud ill close the pages to my thoughts and
shroud them like a day time rain cloud, reading away from the crowd
ill tell you all about it just gotta get home safe and sound, walking home from the library

[“““chill stuff to daydream lovely night-time skies to”””)

[“““chorus”””]
and if im ever caught thinking aloud ill close the pages to my thoughts and
shroud them like a day time rain cloud, reading away from the crowd
ill tell you all about it just making my way home to you, walking home from the library

[“““outro”””]
