hello again! here is the second song song i am sharing today from the scrapped deluxe version of 'talk of the town'! this song, 'cordelia' was meant to be track 12! i talked in another project about why the TOTT deluxe project was scrapped, so check out that project for more info if you're interested! ---> https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1163575815 this song on first listen sounds just like a love song, right? that's super confusing, because the whole theme of 'talk of the town' is that each song is about a character with a really TRAGIC backstory or experience or something, so a love song wouldn't fit in that theme, right??? i am here to share a little bit of context as to why this song actually IS a heartbreaking, tragic, sad song. it's pretty clear just by listening to the song that this girl, cordelia is madly in love with this guy and she talks about how much she loves everything she knows about him and she can't wait to spend the rest of her live loving him. however, if you are an observant listener, you'll hear that little "right?" at the very end of the song, meaning she has the slightest bit of doubt on whether or not he loves her back. well i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a classic case of unrequited love. she loves him more than anything else in the world, she would give up anything for him, sacrifice her life to make him smile, anything - but he doesn't feel the same about her. how heartbreaking that she wasted all this time fostering what she believed was a loving relationship, when in reality, it was all fake. i've been really wanting to write an ooey gooey love song for a long time, and i really like how i was able to add a little twist on to this one to make it unique! anyway, that is the last song i have to share with you today! i hope you enjoyed both of them, and let me know what you think of the stories, the characters, and the actual songs themselves! i always love hearing what you guys have to say <3333 thanks so much as always! press 1 to make it faster, press 2 to make it slower ----- all written, sung, and performed by me <33 lyrics + chords: (a) wake up lay snug in the warm sun at least in my (d) dreams (a) young love undone i’m someone and you’re meant for (d) me (a) roll out head about by sundown here’s where we’ll (d) meet (a) years from now our wedding vows will reflect how our love is this (d) sweet (a) hope there are so many things that i don’t (d) know so many things i can love (e) so things that are still yet to (d) come (a) even if this is all that you can (d) offer it's already more than i (e) bargained for you’re more than (d) enough for (a) me for (d) me (a) if we’ve still got our (d) best years ahead (a) just how good will it (d) get?
