"Memory" (From Remembrance) AshleyH UPDATED VERSION 2021

Hello everyone, so it's been five years since Remembrance first came out I don't think it's any secret that I was a beginner in terms of story telling and lyric writing. That's why most of the early songs are so clunky in terms of rhythm and such. True be told, I don't like a large chunk of the audio drama because of it, because I know I can do such much better. So here is the very first song from the series but redone to give it the epic feel I was originally going for. This version makes Twilight far more spiteful for her "gift" of immortally and really shows the cruel reality of the Princess of Friendship without her friends.

I really tried to capture the heart of the original while still adding foreshadowing and additional emotional beats to Twilights bitter and grieving character.

If you like this new version I'd love to redo many of the other early works and improve upon them. But we will see. For now take this spin on a classic. If you wanna cover it, feel free.

Lyrics:

The walls lined with glass and empty corridors
a familiar feeling
concealing
The need to keep you by my side
And I’ve tried
But a part of me has died

The laugh’s we shared the memories made
are like pictures I can’t ever forget
Even as your story ends
my thoughts will never fade

All I want is to see you,
And the smallest things I knew were true
Had never ceased
The make believe
that brought me peace

I remember the time you threw a party just for me
the times you let me win that race
The smile of your embrace
All the simplest lessons wrote
Were the ones, that I remember most

They tell me to forget
To take the crown and pay my debt
But how can I?
When all I am
Is who you were?

What is friendship if I’m forced to stay behind
What kind of cruel twisted game was I first assigned?
Why did you have to leave me all alone?!
Just a shell of my home

The laugh’s we shared the memories made
are like pictures I can’t never forget
Even as your story ends
my thoughts will never fade

All I want is to see you,
And the smallest things I knew were true
Had never ceased
The make believe
that brought me peace

Now just Memory
