These are exciting times for "Shadowplay" - to celebrate it, I recorded and mixed this new single this past weekend. I'm happy with the result; I guess it conveys some moods that I imagine while I draw "Shadowplay: Midnight School." The main melody also came while drawing one page of the graphic novel.
What? Where can you read the story? Well, I will reveal this eventually - keep following the news at samfonseca.com.
Thank you!
lyrics
Since I was a child, they've laughed at me.
But I pretend not to notice.
I keep falling, still falling.
Please, anyone, help me?
I keep falling. Still falling.
hmm um
In every new classroom, I know who will make fun of me.
In some, however, it seems that even teachers despise me.
It's as if it isn't dark and evil enough outside.
It's as if here's a preparation for a joyless life.
I keep falling, still falling.
Please, anyone, help me?
I keep falling.
Still falling.
hmm um
I'm just a character in a shadow-play.
Watch the light fade away!
And I keep falling, still falling.
Please, anyone, help me?
I keep falling. Still falling.
hmm um
