PERSONAL COMMENTARY

Until Spring Comes Again is a song written for Symphony of Seasons, a charity UTAU album for Artificial Ensemble. This song, along with 9 more tracks, is available for purchase on Bandcamp, and its proceeds will go to the Depression and Bipolar Alliance, a non-profit organization that helps support people with depression or bipolar disorders.

This is the second album that I have joined within the project, the first being Guidance. Similar to that song, all the producers were given a theme to work on. For this album, it was seasons, and the season assigned to me was winter.

I'm gonna be honest here, I'm not actually 100% satisfied with how the song turned out. I had so many ideas that I wanted to work on (such as a story of a kid befriending a creature made out of snow), but because of the hectic school year and my gradually declining mental health, the song turned out to be a bit more melancholic than it was supposed to be. The instrumental was also supposed to be for something else, but reconsidered after I made my friends listen to some of the WIPs I've made and have them suggest what winter means for them (in where I live, there's only 2 seasons).

Overall, this song became a bit of a vent song, and I might remake this sometime in the future, and fix up everything, including the incoherent lyrics.


LYRICS

The whiteness glows and falls again

Once more, the never-ending night has come

Within the coldness, I'm alone

Within the silence nothing else has shown

But I know the sun will shine again

And warm up this place once more

And I know that I'll feel your embrace someday, someday

At the unchanging sky, I pray

Tomorrow, I'll be seeing you

That we'll get to see the day

Together within our arms

At the unchanging sky I pray

To see your smiling face

But I know, that we'll have to wait a bit

Until spring comes again

The whiteness glows and falls again

Slowly, this place is getting warm, getting warm

Now I know this night will end one day

And the darkness soon will fade

And I know I'll get to see you once again someday

At the unchanging sky, I pray

Tomorrow, I'll be seeing you

That we'll get to see the day

Together within our arms

At the unchanging sky I pray

To see your smiling face

But I know, that we'll have to wait a bit

Until spring comes again
