Starlight

Hi all, excited to join WB 2024. New to the process but already intrigued by the experience of the 1-week deadline. This is a pretty straightforward, mellow song with basic rock instrumentation: vocals, guitars, bass, drums. Some notes:
-I tried out the Logic Pro drummer for the first time in years. I usually use a MIDI keyboard for drums so this was fun to mess with.
-I should have dialed in tempo and overall structure before recording as many layers as I did, in retrospect it's a bit slow for my taste and some transitions feel clunky.
-Without the deadline, this song would surely be sitting in my unfinished folder with just a single chorus and no plan for what to do with it!
Looking forward to hearing everyone's music.

What will it take
To reach
To each, of
your tempted fates
To live
That dream
To carry us all
On your sleeve
To sleep
And dream of that day
You seize
It’s true
Starlight’s pouring over you
I may turn to stone
Before it’s through
This time
Try again, maybe rewind
What will it take
To see it through
You ask why you can’t
You hear of our plan
We ask you to align
Say we’ve stood through tests of time
But we dream of that day
You seize
It’s true
Starlight’s pouring over you
We should be so bright
To send you through
If not
Tie a bow and pass it off
At the very least
Try something new
