Lyrics Inspiration: “Eurydice” by Sleepthief ft. Jody Quine

Touch my heart

Her beauty sways the gods

A gift of loving days

I've lost you my lovely

To the depths of an ocean

My blind faith

You follow me with your hope and devotion

I sing to your freedom

I'm lost to release you

No heaven waits for you my sweet

I'll follow your demise to hell and beyond

I'm given the chance to lead you home

No looking back, no way to know

The light is ahead, we're moving slow

Approaching life, where you will be home

But I've lost you my lovely

To the depths of an ocean

My blind faith

I follow you with my hope and devotion

I'll sing for your freedom

I'm lost to release you

No heaven waits for us my sweet

I'll follow your demise to hell and beyond

We will meet again

In life or in death

Touch my heart beats

And beauty sways

My life, a song, a longing day

I found you (I found you), my lovely (my lovely)

In the depths of an ocean (ocean)

A story (a story) together (together) of hope and devotion (devotion)

I found you (I found you), my lovely (my lovely)

In the depths of an ocean (ocean)

A story (a story), forever (forever) of hope and devotion (devotion)

In a strange way this song has haunted me since the first time I heard it. I was walking down Calhoun Street in Charleston, South Carolina after putting it on my iPod Nano on my way to lunch when this gem greeted my ears. The ambient noise of the city made it difficult to understand all of the lyrics at the time, but the music was enough to pull me into another universe. I have since learned the lyrics by heart, and I have come back to it again and again. Whether the lyrics or the music have to do with Book 2 (which I am currently working on) is a closely guarded secret 🤫
