FAWM: "Breakthrough"

Breakthrough

Liner Notes

#wurlitzer #edvardmunch #singersongwriter #wintervibes #girlwithpiano
I look everyday at this DailyArt app that has a new piece of art everyday, and this incredible mural by Edvard Munch (famous for The Scream) popped up a week or so ago, called The Sun. And it's just a tiny picture on my phone but I've been going back to it every day and this song is mostly inspired by it.
Needs more verses, etc but I like the direction, especially the descending progression towards the end.

Lyrics

Something in the way you reach out to me
Exploding shards of light that pierce my heart
Tending endlessly
Knowing I’m in need of a
Break through

Something in the way your speaking to me
A message for an endless winter night
Technicolor rays
Transmit across the waves
Sending me a sign
Knowing that It’s time for a breakthrough
Breakthrough

Someone's reaching out to me
Someone just beyond my reach
Someone’s looking out

I love the melancholy vibes of this one. It's bittersweet in a poignant way, especially with that chord progression

Great job. Love your voice.

Love this! Inspired me to look up the painting you referenced and it definitely has "technicolor rays". I've been to Norway for about a week on vacation and follow a few people who live there and post regular updates on social media and I'm sure the sun re-emerging after months of darkness can feel exactly like that painting and this song! Beautiful tone to your voice and accompaniment!

This couplet sings really well: Technicolor rays
Transmit across the waves

I like the nuance of "knowing I'm in need" to "knowing it's time" for a breakthrough, and then lay that musical shift on us. Effective!
