Diamonds and Trust
Hmm. The trigger was to use a random Wikipedia page [via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random ] – it gave me a 1990s Brazilian film I’d never heard of. Although it sparked a song, the verses that more obviously related to the film got cut… and what remained went a bit darker. That Muse works in mysterious ways.
Sounds largely from Halion synth (inc. bass and xylophone) plus Jessica and Brian vocal synths. For the drums, I added some Brazilian agogo/conga thing; although the South American storyline vanished, I can’t not hear that agogo/conga, so they’ve been kept.
Lyrics
See the diamond
Shining brightly
Who will be its recipient?
Brutal razor
Cutting sharply
Who will be its recipient?
See the diamond
Shining brightly
Who will be its recipient?
Doesn’t end well
Won’t shine brightly where they fell
Doesn’t end well
Won’t shine brightly where they fell
Doesn’t end well
Won’t shine brightly where they fell
