Have had this idea for basing most of my songs this year off stories from manga. This one kinda got reverse engineered into that with me reflecting on the friendships I've made over the pandemic.
First song I've written since FAWM 2020. It's about fucking time.
I was an island
Till a day with a message board
And a chance encounter
That knocked my walls down
And they said "He's got it together"
I was screaming inside
My lungs filled with water
Thought I'd sink alone
Then a voice rang through
And that voice was you
The arms reach gave way to a home
With friends like these, who needs an early end?
6 months later
It feels like it's been years
I still shed the tears
But of a different kind
And they said "He's got his shit together"
I was screaming inside
My lungs filled with water
Thought I'd sink alone
Then a voice rang through
And that voice was you
The arms reach gave way to a home
With friends like these, who needs an early end?
Then a voice rang through
And that voice was you
The arms reach gave way to a home
With friends like these, I don't an early end

Thanks for dropping by and your nice comment.
This is a really nice song and also works for folk like me who have no idea about Manga culture. Like the guitar and the melody.

I love the idea of doing songs based off manga! I think this one is Komi Can't Communicate right? I love both the guitar and vocals (especially the chorus 'I was screaming inside' part haha) Definitely resonated with this one and I look forward to see what other manga you demo! ^^
