Remix of How Many Times by Sangderenard with a twist added by MysticalGem [Theory] [mode | major, mixolydian overlay, dorian overlay] [tonal center | G] [harmonic behavior | suspended fourths, open fifths, modal cadences] [meter | 4/4] [tempo | 84 BPM] [chord color | inverted triads, add9 chords, extended dyads] [Voice] [register | high alto] [delivery | sustained phrase openings, consonant-rich line endings] [expression | controlled urgency, breath-focused phrasing, present vulnerability] [articulation | open vowel enunciation, mid-air consonant breaks] How many times did I look into the skies hoping other people saw the stars I'm lookin at The moon never fell though I pulled on it like hell just to prove to you I could do anything you'd ever need And now I'm only too tired and lonely to look into the sky or even 'member why I even stopped adjusting every thought that came into my head that woke me up in bed Oh I thank the Lord I came to be blessed with another husband I'm free. Compared to where you want me to be I lit candles for the memories Let 'em melt down what’s left of me But I don’t chase the wind no more I close that chapter, not that door Still I wish you would’ve seen The stars I held inside of me But I ain’t beggin’ light to stay If it was meant, it wouldn’t fade Tried to paint love in your hue But lost the color in my view I gave my all till I forgot That love ain’t love when it’s tied in knots I’m not the same girl I was back then You lost a diamond in your hands again I’m healing slow, but I’m healing true Don’t need the sky if I’ve got what’s due And I still rise… I still glow The moon don’t fall for what it knows Compared to where you wanted me to be I’m exactly where I’m meant to be - I’m free I'm free... I'm free... I'm exactly where I’m meant to be......
