lyrics

Trembling in the wind, the seed is floating towards
the master, the thin, the crack-ed pedestals
while it’s hoping for grace, the cackle, the grackle
sings its disappointment

In a fold it delays, leaving a tuft of its polymer glaze
reaching for once, to capacities edge
hoping for grace, of the interim’s face

you were right, hold my
you were right, hold my hand

Doubling in it’s size,
the petals reveal starry dew covered eyes,
unblinking until I
slowly lower my gaze, in a show of respect
for this beautiful space

you were right, hold my
you were right, hold my hand

And the peaks covered, cloudy
listening to the sounds
of what Plath and Miyazaki say

Bolstering the disheartened
averaging the days
playing sugar and spice
girls, we’ll never be nice

you were right, hold my
you were right, hold my hand

STRAYLIGHT (Original Game Soundtrack)
by Rob Kovacs

supported by 6 fans who also own “the master, the thin”

I love this because A) 88Bit's beard is something I wish I was manly enough to have B) Your usage of the Prophet 5 is impeccable. C) I'm gonna remix Star Forge... send me those stems would ya? D) I cannot WAIT to play this game. I was told about this game like 2 years ago and I couldn't play the beta of it because I didn't have a rift/steam/pc. So the fact that ROB made the soundtrack to the game and I will get to play it on my Quest soon? Priceless. theologyvgmfan

Is this your Party?
by Finally Some Action

supported by 6 fans who also own “the master, the thin”

This amazing track is actually a miracle and very thoughtful and fun! The vocals are stunning and very wonderful indeed! The guitar solo in this is also quite epic and mind blowing! Don't get me wrong, the second track is superb and a blissful trek down memory lane as well! Finally Some Action really is a godsend in the synthwave community that should never be taken for granted!!! David Rotenburger
