We were here. And we will be back.

Hello again, everyone! I hope you all are staying safe and healthy during these crazy and troubling times. I’m doing what I can, but I know we will get through this together. 

It’s been over a year since I last posted a new song, and so I am thrilled to share the first of many things I have been working on in that time! What started off as my first submission for Ponies @ Dawn’s “Eternal” album, this one has unquestionably become my personal favorite song I have written/produced so far. It means a great deal to me because if it weren’t for the incredible memories you all helped me make over the years at these conventions, this song would not exist; you all are the reason I wrote this.

Be it in the halls, room parties, concerts, panels, wherever else we’ve met at cons, you have all played a part in contributing to the greatest eight years of my life, and I am eternally grateful for that. With every iota of my being, thank you.

This song, however, is a celebration of all of us, not just my personal experiences. We all walk the halls, we all attend the panels, and we all write our own stories about what these special places mean to us. These are things that can never be taken away. Please don’t ever forget that. Celebrate that.

In fact, I heavily encourage you all to share some of your fun-but-appropriate convention stories in the comments. I’d love to see them!

LYRICS

A stage could not be better set
We got to write our own history
I held tight every other soul
Who took part in the bliss with me
We lived it up with no looking back
Like we’d never again see the day
A chapter written in our lives
That nobody can take away

Let it be known that far and wide
We got to be who we are inside

Goodbye all doubts and fear
Let it be known that in the end
We recalled each smile and tear
We never blew away with the wind
Let it be known that we were here
Oh, we were here
Yeah, we were here

This place is perfect, take it with you
Your port in an ever raging storm
An embrace that time can’t erase 
Where returning is true to form
This is where we can come alive
Where enemies shake hands and heal
Where no matter what happens outside
These few days will always be real

Let it be known that far and wide
We lit a flame that never died

Remember, remember
Remember, remember that we were here
Remember, remember
Remember, remember that we were here

Echoes that won’t ever fade
Stories of nights that we would never trade
And long after my fate calls
Remember the laughter held in these halls

Remember that we were here!
