TOMORROW THE MENTAL BLOCK WILL CRUSH ITSELF

WITH A ROCKALANCHE

WHILE WE’RE AT IT

The prologue from the musical.

Again I didn’t write it, just arranged it.  

I’ll get back to you when I’m sure who did! (diana?)

This probably isn’t a final draft considering something in here really annoys me, I don’t know what it is.  Perhaps the droning shakuhachi, the clunky piano, or the mixing.  I’ll get back to you on that.

I’ve been searching around for far east samples so until I can muster up some plucked strings (probably either a pipa or a yang ch’in.  Maybe shamisen?)  Tonight’s performance of the instrument will be played by ‘lute’ samples.  (shit don’t sound like lute!  It’s all lies!)

YEAH I’M REALLY BAD ABOUT TALKING ABOUT MY FEELS JUST TRY AND CATCH MY DRIFT YOU KNOW.

OKAY.

KATARA 

In the lullabies of the Southern Tribe 
Spun here long ago 
We tell the tales of another time 
Of a peace I’ve never known

They tell of a world without fear 
Where the Avatar stopped wars 
But in our hour of need 
He disappeared… 
And so years ago the Fire Nation took our shores

The master of all the elements 
Some say “He’s gone for good” 
But I won’t let my hope relent 
He’ll save the world… 
I know he could…

IROH

Winter, spring, summer and fall 
Winter, spring, summer and fall 
Four seasons, four loves 
Four seasons, four loves

KATARA

For seasons, we have waited 
For seasons, for a sign 
Though I can wait, with breath bated 
The world is running out of time… 

NO! YOU’RE WRONG! NEVER ENOUGH!

HAHA!

A finished instrumental of ‘Redemption’!

Music by this girl and lyrics by this girl

I did le arrangement!

NEVER ENOUGH DRUM

YOU’RE WRONG

ZUKO:

The fire’s burning in the coals
and on the horizon is something like hope.
Just at my fingertips are my goals
And soon, perhaps, I won’t just cope
There’s nothing founded in my fears
My manifests of desperation
On my own for three long years
Hunting for my father’s nation.

Redemption—
Meet the all-consuming fire
Is this flame inside desire
Or a scorch left by scorn?
Redemption!
Payback for all of my strife
It’s the first and last fight of my life
And I’ll give everything to have it back.

They have no need for sympathy
I tried to give that and look what I got.
The last thing on my mind is pity—
I’ve got to focus on my last shot.
My journey’s almost over now,
with the end of my tribulation
they will see my talent and how
I will be my own salvation.

Redemption—
Meet the all-consuming fire
Is this flame inside desire
Or a scorch left by scorn?
Redemption!
Payback for all of my strife
It’s the first and last of my life
And I’ll give everything to have it back.

You dread the fire
when you’ve been burned
but by now I have learned
that my work will require
more than my all—

because of my fall
from father’s favor
I’ll have good reason to savor
The day honor’s restored to me—
my life’s forsaken destiny!

This is my

Redemption!
Feel the all-consuming fire
A flame borne of my desire
To erase this scar left by scorn
REDEMPTION!
I can cast aside the pain, the strife
All I want is to regain my life
And I’ll give everything
Throw away everything
Forsake everything
To have it back!

Not there yet!  

Azula and Ty Lee don’t enter the scene ‘till book two.

also: for the team

can we just talk about how terrifying the score was when I first received it via MIDI

and now

it looks so friendly

but still when I first opened it I was like WOW HOLY SHIT

Oh man, so sorry. XDD It didn’t look that bad on our end. My piano to sheet music converter thing in the keyboard is a special snowflake

95% sure it’s because my computer didn’t register the tempo correctly and didn’t register that ‘solo’ was a piano and needed treble and bass separation

so it got awkward

but fear not, I have ears!  And sometimes they work!… sometimes!

A song about Zuko’s honor.

Well, technically about his redemption. (see also: honor)

I don’t think it says honor anywhere in the song though

an incomplete instrumental

that I didn’t write.

I just arranged it.

I don’t know who did, but yeah. (EDIT: standinthemoon music and bonesmakenoise lyrics)

Until further notice we’ll just stop at I didn’t write it.
