I'm not really happy with this one. I wanted it to be a small song with big verses, and I got that, but it just... it doesn't really work for me. (I'm not even talking about my performance which is only "done" because it is a FAWM demo.) I may actually like this one the least right now.
The race encountered here comes from a Roger Corman feature.
The album concept (repeated from my bio): This FAWM, I want to write songs for an art album I'm working on. Abstractly, it's an art album about copyright... in the guise of hymn filk. The premise is a lonely space traveler thinks about what might be in store for the colony ship when they get there, but due to copyright restrictions only music made before 1926 is available on-board. So, he combines the two.

Title: Tiny Valkyries
Date: 2015-02-27 @ 04:56am
(Maybe we'll find...)
Tiny Valkyries living there.
We'd hardly see them at first.
We'd hardly survive them at worst.
Me, like a giant or bear
Her, more like a flimsy fairy
But with skill to leave me wairy.
Teeny tiny Valkyries.
Tiny Valkyries in a tribe
all beautiful, kind and wise.
How could we find the other's prize?
Come together, sing, jump and jive.
Or would they better put us down,
Lead us astray, knock us around.
Those wee tiny Valkyries.
