The Lost Ballad
Original song. Bracketed lines are layered counter-vocals sung against the lead.
Written for my own releases and for collaborators — dark pop, R&B and cinematic ballad. Layered counter-vocals are marked where they sit against the lead.

This does not follow a conventional song structure, and it is not meant to. It was written around ten original characters created by ten different people — each one's personality, history and unresolved thread folded into the same piece. The result moves between voices rather than between verse and chorus, and several passages are sung simultaneously rather than in sequence. Where two parts overlap, they are shown side by side below.
