This song is part of charity compilation album Seeking Solace I. Get it here: seeking-solace.bandcam...
You can also acquire the song here: eqbeats.org/track/5693

This song was inspired by the fic Background Pony, by shortskirtsandexplosions, so inspiration credit goes to him. Lyric credit too, since I lifted a few lines straight off the fic.
The cover painting was done by MLA. He is also responsible for letting me know about the fic, for helping me name the song, and for a line in the lyrics.

The next bit includes spoilers from Background Pony, so if you're reading the fic, or plan to, and don't want it spoiled, don't read ahead! I did try to make the song as spoiler free as possible though, you you're probably safe actually listening to it. Maybe.
Anyway yeah, I found the fic incredibly engaging, and the storytelling vivid, and capable of immersing the reader in the events that go down throughout, and the characters' emotions, so it was a total joy to read. The ending was pretty devastating as well. Having a little firsthand experience with people suffering memory loss, imagining Lyra not only losing her mind, but still being cursed until the end of her days was truly heartbreaking. That last chapter with her journal entries slowly losing coherence and a grasp of reality or time is rough, and is what inspired this song. It takes place during her last encounter with the princess of the unsung realm, and follows through the events that unfold afterwards. I can only hope I managed to capture some of the heaviness of the original story.
Musically, I thought I'd make a simpler song than I'm used to. I haven't been happy with my more recent output, or with the fact that I didn't work on any music at all during the semester, so I thought I'd attempt to tackle a song in under two weeks, and well, this is the result. Please, don't hesitate to throw feedback at me, on how this could have been improved, 'cause it only helps me grow. Cheers, and thanks for listening!

Lyrics:
Another year has come and passed
All the symphonies unraveled at last
And now that it has come to this
I can't decide which I'm least likely to miss
Is it my place to tear the world outside down
from the place where it belongs, under the moon, under the sun?
Lost one, what will it be?
Will you go back to the start or will you stay here?
----------------------------------------------------
Oh, how long has there been snow outside the cabin?
I don't really know, I haven't been out in so long...
I struggle to find some substance in this time
I don't remember
And it seems so strange,
I could have sworn it was only yesterday
When I could see the grass around the path that led to town
When my life wasn't upside down
When the cold wasn't part of me
A violet memory of Hearth's Warming Eve
Something's taking hours from my mind
Oh, this house smells like me
But I've never been here, how can it be?
It takes a glance to make me real again
Numb, a violet haze, so cold
All I know is
Who's that looking back at me?
If I look away and look back
will they still be looking back at me?
Home, why can't I go back?
I'm always here, and I hurt
If you can read this, I'm not lost
I'm waiting for you here
And it seems so strange,
I could have sworn it was only yesterday
When I could see the rooftops of Canterlot
When dad would paint the stars around us
When chains wouldn't want to strangle me in the night
Mom and Dad and rollerskates on Hearth's Warming Eve
Something's taking hours from my mind
So many blank pages, so much time
So beautiful
It really is so beautiful.
I wish
Yes
I almost wish I could write a song
