Wind FX. A single yodel fades in, reversed and slow] [Verse 1 – Bard’s Arrival, Dusty lo-fi beat, muffled snare, icy pads swell behind] I wandered through chords, I forgot I wrote. Each step echoes, A different note. Snowflakes fall, Like broken metronomes And I don’t know, If I’m lost… or home [Add-libbed whispers behind vocals] Home… No way back… [Chopped fragments:] Yo–yo–del… ay–ee… [Whisper] Keep singin’ bard… Keep singin’… [Pre-Chorus] I called to the silence... And silence called back… [Chorus 1 – Yodelcry Loop, chopped, layered, haunting and melodic vocals] Yodel-ay-ee-oo… Yodel-ay-ee-oo… Where did my voice go…? Yodel-ay… oh… oh… [Glitch Chops:] Yo–yo–yo–del-ay... del-ay-ee-oo… [Call-and-Response] Yodel-ay? ay-ay-ay… [Verse 2 – Memory Confrontation] Found a mirror, Of shattered tape. Saw my younger self, Still wearing capes. He said: “Sing it loud, even if they laugh” But I just yodeled… And watched the world collapse. [Add-libs:] (Ayy… ayy…) Bring it back now… Don’t choke bard… (Don’t fold…) Let it echo… (Let it echo…) [Pre-Chorus] I called to the silence... And silence called back… [Chorus 2 – Yodelcry Loop, chopped, layered, haunting and melodic vocals] Yodel-ay-ee-oo… Yodel-ay-ee-oo… Where did my voice go…? Yodel-ay… oh… oh… Yo–yo–yo–del-ay... del-ay-ee-oo… [Reverse stutter tail:] oo-oo-oo-oo… [Bridge – Layered. Shifting pitch. Almost ghostlike vocals] Yodel-ay-eee-haaa… Yodel-ay-uh-oh… Echo… Echo… yo…del…yo…del… [Spoken, distorted voice] “Roll Charisma… against despair.” “Success. The voice cracks the ice.” [Pre-Chorus] I called to the silence… …but this time, I sang back... [Beat drops back in — lo-fi fuzz with rising strings] [Final Chorus – Redemption Cry] I found the note inside the storm My broken chords became reborn I’m still echoing — But now I lead The yodel’s not a wound, It’s what I bleed. Yodel-ay… Yodel-ay… eeeeee-haaa! [Chopped, trailed, layered harmonies swirl] I’m still here… I’m still here… I’m still here… [Outro – Bard’s Whisper, Soft wind FX, No beat, Final faint yodel — distant and comforting] Even if no one hears… I’ll keep singing.
