My Firefly (Original song inspired by "Grave of the Fireflies")

[REUPLOAD] because I wrote this song in a day so I didn't have a lot of time to edit it, but here it is again! Hopefully sounding a little better. I was inspired to write this song after seeing this fanart of the movie and I felt like crying - so I decided to write a song to sing my feelings out. It's the saddest movie I have ever seen... ;_____; The instrumental includes me live playing the Acoustic Guitar, Piano, and Viola. I finally got to take out my viola again after who knows how long... Recorded this in a day so I didn't do much post-editing on my recordings but I like it just the way it is. Natural and real, LIKE MY FEELINGS FOR THIS MOVIE (SOBS) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Song: My Firefly Vocals/Lyrics/Instrumental/Mixing: me Inspired by the film Grave of the Fireflies (火垂るの墓) Movie written and directed by Isao Takahata, and animated by Studio Ghibli Original short story of the same name by Akiyuki Nosaka GIF art by @LarienneChan ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 『 SOCIALS 』 Website - https://owlthy.carrd.co/ Twitter -   / owlthy   Discord -   / discord   Bandcamp - https://athy.bandcamp.com/music ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Lyrics: [Verse 1] Did you dream, that night that I went away, Did they scare you, make you laugh, or did you want to stay, When you wake up I have your favorite treats, A little tin box of rainbow sweets [Chorus] Let’s go to the forest and play, Tomorrow will be a better day, Let’s catch the glowing fireflies, And turn them into a surprise, I’ll love you till the day I die [Verse 2] Remember the time, we would eat shaved ice on the hottest days of summer, And we’d dance around the bonfire with our arms in each others, When the flames begin to melt my skin, it’s okay because I’m still the me within, Even when I’m gone I’ll be in your heart [Chorus] Let’s go to the ocean and swim, Feel the cool sea against our skin, Not everything in this world is kind, So lets protect our fireflies, When their lights go out, we say goodbye [Bridge] When the fireworks go off and the earth starts to shake, don’t forget to hide from the rain I promise you, I’ll be back soon, Just keep your light glowing like the moon, I need you in my life to guide me home [Chorus] Let’s go to the forest and play, Tomorrow will be a better day, Let’s catch the glowing fireflies, And turn them into a surprise, I’ll love you till the day I die, [Outro] One day the war will go away, One day we’ll find a place to stay, I pray and hope and wish with all my heart, So wait for me my firefly, I’ll bring you back a fun surprise, I’ll give you all I have, so please don’t cry, I’ll give you all I have, so please don’t die. ☆Find me on my social media(s)☆ ✣ Website - https://nightowlthena.carrd.co/ ✣ Twitter -   / nightowlthena   ✣ Discord -   / discord   ✣ SoundCloud -   / nightowlthena   ✣ Bandcamp - https://nightowlthena.bandcamp.com/ #Graveofthefireflies #originalsong #studioghibli #anime #火垂るの墓 #スタジオジブリ #movie
