about

Serendipity is the youngest song on Euphony. It was actually a Trance song I wrote a few years ago when I experimented writing in that style. I thought it'd be a shame not to give that original idea a chance to shine, so I rewrote it on actual instruments and hoped for the best. What came out was better than what I could've ever imagined. I still felt a few things were missing. Firstly, the chorus sounded a bit too weak to me, so I chucked a trance gate on the guitars and I was blown away with how it sounded. After I got everything recorded, I felt a lot of the Trance-vibe had been lost in translation with the mix. So, I asked my friend Stabby to help me out with the mix as he is an established electronic artist. Unfortunately, do to time constants I wasn't able to feature his mix on here, but I still owe him a lot of kudos for helping me with the production aspect of this track.

I thought it'd be good to end the EP on where I'm at in life as of now. I feel I'm a much more confident person now, and I have to thank this past year for making me realize that positive change will come if you allow it to.

lyrics

Hey you, in the glass
It's been awhile since we spoke last
How are things with you?

I hope that you are being well
And you are doing better now
Since we talked last year

Know that there's light within the dark
What's happening now won't seem much
As you look back to see exactly how stronger you’ve become

Take, take, take a moment to breathe
Let the air blow away the anxiety
And forget all the doubts you made

The hardest thing I had to do
Was to prove I'm worth all this to you

I remember how I felt
While I was with my friends
But still they made me feel so alone

So I kept you close to me
Because you we're the one person
I neglected all throughout my whole life.

The hardest thing I had to do
Was to prove I'm worth all this to you
And I think that we should start
Looking towards the path ahead of us

This past year has taught me
That there's light in all this dark
This past year has taught me
You had it in all along

And one last thing I have to say,
If hopelessness comes creeping
You'll beat it, trust me
I'm living proof

The hardest thing I had to do
Was to prove I'm worth all this to you
And I think that we should start
Looking towards the path ahead of us
