So, at long last, I've finally made a fully original song with fully original lyrics using Synth V! Up to this point, I've had original songs using it, such as Love Never Lasts, Shards of Glass, Reborn, and parts of Lockdown, but with the exception of Lockdown (and those lyrics were written a long time ago), the lyrics weren't mine. This is the first time I've *recently* written original lyrics for the synthesised vocals for my own song, and this is the result.

So yeah, basically, if you think that the lyric-writing is inferior to the songs I listed above, yeah, that's why. I wrote the lyrics myself.

Or, ok, to be fair, they're actually pretty good lyrics, I think. They flow well, the imagery is nice, and they're overall pretty strong, especially given that it's my first real attempt at lyric-writing for the first time since Dreary Summer Day in 2021. In fact, this is also an extension of a 'The Major Journey' section, like Dreary Summer Day was too - it was an extension of the F# major section, so yeah. The melody came first here, and then I just tried to fit the lyrics around the melody. I feel like that's generally easier for me as I'm far better at melody writing than I am at lyric-writing, so lyrics just come to me more naturally once I've thought of a melody for them to go with, personally.

Anyway, if you wanna follow along with the lyrics, I've posted them in a separate community post: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx-NsToF8hOySAIGcl5bzwSmvgIQNBXa9Q

There will be more vocal songs to come in the future, and I promise, there will be *at least* one original rap song with the new rap vocals from Synth V 1.9 coming soon as well. This, of course, doesn't have a rap section because come on, where the hell would something like that fit in a song like this?

With all that said, I hope you enjoy it!

Listen to 'The Major Journey' (the section this song was derived from starts at 6:53 in that video): https://youtu.be/zdrXv45eNtY?t=413
