	Story Behind the Song Recorded at West Island School on 20020419 Performed by: Juhi Bansal - Vocals Stephen Davenport - Guitar Si Chun Lam - Vocal Harmony Julianne Mark - Piano Kit Yan Tang - Viola Lakes by the Clouds © Si Chun LAM 20011122-20020418 Build 928 Lakes by the Clouds is an attempt to use complex chords, contrasts, and a REAL key change in the piece. It's mostly in C minor and Eb major; uses varied and interesting textures set against [uhh] meaningful lyrics. This song started off on 20011122 when I was experimenting with developing my song October. I took one section of the violin accompaniment on that piece and built this piece on that. I chose to use a minor key, and developed a nice chord sequence and a varied way of playing the accompaniment... During the night I came across AFI's Morningstar (a comparatively quiet song by a punk rock band), and then somewhat decided to emulated the style of the lyrics. Other influences include AFI - God Called In Sick Today; chorus 1 unexpectedly sounds like Who Wants to be a Millionnaire, and chorus 2 is like Hoku's Nothing In This World... The 'new' section [2002] has modal influences, SC2K chords... Enjoy! Lyrics I spent some time alone, / drowning in my mind; / I'm so afraid, / I'm so confused, / I'm pressured out of reach. // It's possessing my mind, / in anguish in the dead of night; / it's shattering, / it's maddening, / it's waiting to consume me. // The endless emptiness / haunts me day by day, / overwhelming, / imploding, / there's nothing left of me. // Sometimes I would fall beneath the sea in the sky, / leaving me a void by the stars in the stream. / Sometimes I would drown in the lakes by the clouds, but / nothing will mean anything. // Sometimes I would fall beneath the sea in the sky, / leaving me a void by the stars in the stream. / Sometimes I would drown in the lakes by the clouds, but / nothing will mean anything. // Lakes by the clouds; / fading in the distance. / It's my soul; / no one can save me. // It's melting my dreams, / turning them to dust; / there's no need for hope, / there's no need for love, / it's drowning all my life. // The endless emptiness / haunts me day by day, / overwhelming, / imploding, / there's nothing left of me. // Sometimes I would fall beneath the sea in the sky, / leaving me a void by the stars in the stream. / Sometimes I would drown in the lakes by the clouds, but / nothing will mean anything.
