Supernova

I
Una supernova.
Una bomba nuclear cayendo sobre mi cama;
me hablas y no entiendo nada.
Puercos en el aire,
nada está en su lugar
y hay fantasmas rondando la sala
(abrimos, dejamos que entraran).

Coro
Parecíamos felices hasta ayer.
Parecíamos felices, ¿Qué pasó?
Quizás la culpa es de la vaca.
Mira que las vacas vuelan.

Puente
Una supernova.
Fue una supernova.

Hello, a warm greeting to everyone. It's been a while since I wrote a song; simply a creative break, akin to a lethargy, perhaps, maybe something similar. For now, I'm fondly keeping a few songs, and today I fondly remembered one of them, "Supernova."

The song is part of a collection I liked to call "Houses on Fire." It's a set of songs written around the same time that share certain musical, rhythmic, and genre similarities; in other words, they have a characteristic identity that unites the individual pieces.

"Supernova" is an indie rock song. It narrates a small disaster befalling a house, a series of absurdities or inconsistencies that have a reason for being, or that try to explain that: nothing is as it should be. That's how, when I play or listen to the song, I manage to connect with the music.

Regarding the chords, although the song is performed in the key of E major, it's true that there are also some variations that deviate slightly from the harmonic progression of the key; specifically, there are two chords that add variability to the E major chord progression: a C major and a D major. These variations were added to create a sense of disorientation.

If you ask me for keywords to describe what the song conveys to me, they would be something like: space, gravity, floating, levitating, dream, vision, nonsense, strange. By the way, when I listen to songs written by @naradamoon, I might use words like: poetry, organic, or abstract to describe them; and with the music of @edwardstobia, the words would be something like: melancholy, poetry, sad, soft. I like both of them 😊

Warm regards to all of you. I hope your plans and goals come to fruition. Thank you for reading and listening. Until next time.

Supernova

I
A supernova.
A nuclear bomb falling on my bed;
you speak to me and I don't understand anything.
Pigs in the air,
nothing is in its place
and there are ghosts haunting the room
(we opened, we let them in).

Chorus
We seemed happy until yesterday.
We seemed happy, what happened?
Maybe it's the cow's fault.
Look, cows fly.

Bridge
A supernova.
It was a supernova.
