Susan Manley Poet Lyric

The Twilight a song

The Twilight (C) 2024 Artimus The Poet - Susan Manley All Rights Reserved

Musical Introduction

[Verse]
Over the mountains the purple comes rolling
lit like a backdrop silhouette glowing

Soon to meet the valley in cascades of light
to make day of what has been night

The sun with shine
the stars will fade
And some will sleep
while others awake

And soon once again
that purple will rise
and push the light out
from the skies

[chorus]
The Twilight
it comes every day
the purple haze
decending over the planet

the marking of the passage of time
to reflect on how its spent
to relax sublime
And where memories are swept

It pulls us forward
into nights inky depths
where the day is forgotten
in sleep in dreams we rest

[Musical Interlude]

[Verse]

later dawn will arise 
and wipe sleep from our eyes
with pink it is so bright
it evaporates mist and brings to light

All that is the day
progresses through the haze
and if we have planned it
it can be jam. packed . in...

[Verse]
Over the mountains the purple comes rolling
lit like a backdrop silhouette glowing

Soon to meet the valley in cascades of light
to make day of what has been night
(to make day of what has been night)

[Outro]

The sun with shine
the stars will fade
And some will sleep
while others awake

And soon once again
that purple will rise
and push the light out
from the skies

Stop and watch that glory of the passing to the night
the purple into twilight
it marks the march of your life
inching forward to the unknown

Time is the only currency...
you never know the balance of

so spend it wisely

Spend it wisely
(Spend it wisely)

spend it wisely

before you go

[end]

Maria Williams September 16, 2024 at 1:21 AM I love what you've done here Susan, what pretty lyrics to the harmonious music. You should join in as well with your own singing....Hugs Susan Manley September 18, 2024 at 10:40 AM Hey Maria, I can sing, but of course you have to keep it up. LOL its one more thing on the pile of one more things. I am working on many fronts at this moment. But thank you so much for the feedback. I love this song. Some things just seem to write themselves, like my subconcious self spoke. This is one of them.

Daniel Henry Rodgers September 9, 2024 at 9:05 AM Dear Susan, So well written and such lovely imagery. I loved how the music and words just flowed throughout. Is that you singing and doing harmonies and if so it was beautiful. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Susan Manley September 9, 2024 at 12:05 PM Hi Daniel, once again its AI singing. I could resing these. But its serious studio work to pull the stems ( musical parts) out and retrack the voice. And though I can sing and do, I am rusty and my vocal style would need to adapt for all of the genre I am working in. And since I am instead putting that brain power into how to get better music and writing original lyric ( thats a poem I extended). And I am working on some business objectives right now as well. I just don't have the bandwidth to retrack them. I will eventually put up some with me singing. I can do "this". My range is contralto to second soprano.

Silent One September 8, 2024 at 12:42 PM Beautiful and tender song lyrics... a lovely rhythm to them... I am touched by your words and I hope your brother is ok.. Susan Manley September 9, 2024 at 12:16 PM I pulled the dedication because I almost got banned on facebook because someone reported the link. ( so I just blocked a few culprits forever on social media). Sometimes we need to exclude those we are connected to by blood to free up valuable headspace. Thank you for the compliments on the song. I am very proud of the lyric. That purple being the perfect reflection point. And I am working on more. I promise!
