Uplifting Fantasy Folk Pop - Something Always Answers [D&D Dungeon Song / Singalong]

🎻 The Bard's Notes An uplifting fantasy folk pop singalong — four-on-the-floor stomp, claps, and a crowd chant from the first bar. No intro, straight in. Fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, bodhrán and a full kit. She is alone in this one, which is why every line comes back at her: the cave is the second voice. She shouts, the ice answers, and the answer gets closer and louder as she climbs — and by the last chorus it is not the cave answering any more. For long climbs, bad days, and anybody on their own right now. 🔥 By the Fire I came to at the bottom of a room the size of night — blue on blue on blue, and not one footprint that was mine. So I did the only thing a singer ever does: I opened my mouth to hear how big the quiet was. And it came back — my own voice, wearing frost, half a breath behind, like it knew I was lost. Somebody would call that lonely. I call it a choice. A wall that hands your voice back is standing on the side of the voice. The answer used to take its time — I could count it on the climb. Then it came back quicker, landing on top of mine, and I knew the ceiling was dropping toward my hand. I threw one more up the shaft and braced for my own name. What came back did not sound the same. It had boots in it, and benches, and a fiddle, and a chair. It was not the mountain — it was people, and they were there. They say alone is how you go fast, and together is how you go long. I went alone, I went fast, and I came up into together. 🎶 Lyrics [Intro Chant] UP! UP! UP! — ALL THE WAY UP! UP! UP! — ALL THE WAY UP! [Chorus] ALL THE WAY UP! — I am shouting at the STONE! ALL THE WAY UP! — NOBODY here, and I am NOT aLONE! Boot on the ledge and my palm on the frozen DOOR — I throw one voice into the dark and it hands me back MORE! ALL THE WAY UP! (WAY UP!) [Verse 1] I came to at the bottom of a room the size of NIGHT, blue on blue on blue and every wall was throwing LIGHT — so — throat full of frost — I did what every singer DOES, I opened up my mouth to hear how big the quiet WAS (was, was) [Chorus repeats] [Verse 2] And it came back to me — my own voice, wearing FROST, half a breath behind me like it knew that I was LOST — now somebody would call that lonely, but I call it a CHOICE, because a wall that hands it back is standing with the VOICE (WITH THE VOICE!) [Chorus repeats] [Verse 3] So I sang to find the corners and the corners sang me BACK, I could hear the ceiling lifting so I followed up the CRACK — every shout I ever swallowed, every one I kept inSIDE, I am throwing all of them at once and letting them deCIDE [Verse 4] The answer used to take its time — I could count it on the CLIMB now it comes back quicker and it lands on top of MINE That is how I know the ceiling has been dropping to my HAND the room is getting smaller and the small is where I STAND Every step I take it answers half a beat too SOON (TOO SOON!) so I am not walking any more — I am running at the MOON [Verse 5] I threw one more up the shaft and I braced for my own NAME and the thing that came back down to me did not sound the SAME It had boots in it, and benches, and a fiddle, and a CHAIR (A CHAIR!) and it was not the mountain — it was people, and they were THERE So I never saved a single breath, I spent them on the WAY and here is the only thing I need you to hear me SAY — (HEAR ME SAY!) [Intro Chant repeats] [Final Chorus] ALL THE WAY UP! — I am shouting at the DOOR! ALL THE WAY UP! — and it is not the dark anyMORE! Boot on the step and my palm on the frozen PANE — I threw one voice into the dark and a whole room says my NAME! ALL THE WAY UP! [Outro] There is nothing down there haunted and there's nothing down there WRONG, (NOTHING WRONG!) they say alone is how you go fast and together is how you go LONG — (HOW YOU GO LONG!) and it gave me back my own voice till I found the ones I KNEW, (THE ONES I KNEW!) so if you are down there shouting, then I promise it is TRUE — (IT IS TRUE!) Something always answers (SOMETHING ALWAYS ANSWERS!) 🔥 The Fire That Never Goes Out Ronin Ash is a wandering fire-keeper who rose from her own ashes and keeps a light on the road for whoever comes next.
