I'm gonna reach!
I'm gonna strive!
Will get release! 
Because I'm gonna fly!
I'm gonna fly!

I feel the truth,
of the real me inside!
Let it all out!
I am ready to fly!
I am ready to fly!

Returning back to
the way things ought to be!
I feel my wings!
Returning to me!
I am ready to fly! 

And, I will reach!
Here! As I strive!
Will get release! 
because I'm gonna fly!
I'm gonna fly!

Returning back to
the way things should seem!
I'll leave the rest behind,
Where my tail ought to be!
I feel my wings!
They are returning to me!

Now I shall reach!
Now as I strive!
Will get release!
Because I'm gonna fly!

I am ready to fly!
I am ready to fly!
I am ready to fly! 
I am ready to fly!

Fly......  



















NOTES:

* This song is intended for Djehkäujaa. this song is the scene(s) starting BEFORE she gets to the zeppelin. It's a bit of a fake-out. She feels called (sensory feeling) back to the dragons again, and she's also very gifted with singing and music which she's utilized to her advantage among the human world, in her humanoid form. She thinks she's being called back permanently to become her dragon form again and be pardoned from exile.

Also, she feels her wings are going to come back (which they will). But, she has to board the airship to get into the right location.

Actually, by the end of the song, she just arrives at the zeppelin... and boards it... she won't fly until the following song.

It's somewhat funny, because she's been solemn, broody, moody, and EMO up until she thinks she's coming back. So, she gets all animated, chipper, swaggering, and struts throughout the city on foot belting out the song. Like: Bye bitches! I'm free!
(Except she's not actually permanently being called back... it was just to make her return, to check in briefly, only to cast her back, because they're not satisfied with her still... It really smacks her down several more notches emotionally... also, they don't think her exile was long enough for what "crime" they deemed she committed... )


* This song just came to me, today, first in spurts at the gym, then once I took a shower it came even stronger... I waited to long to jot it down and record it, so I had to try and remember it again, and it took a while.

It definitely needs work, I'm NOT a professional musician, composer, or song writer; I only studied classical music as a child (chorus, violin, recorder, and guitar basics). I often regret not doing more with it because I really loved it.

I want this to be a 4/4 beats song, very uptempo, and Hi-NRG Eurodance techno 1990s style. But, I think it kinda came out sounding like a waltz 6/8 beats... sorta...  :-/ Gotta change that...  Like I've said before, I would like her vocals to be something like the late Melanie Thornton, or something similar.

Djehkäujaa Doodles Update

Just a little update on this one...

It's not the best ever sketches of my existence, but I figured I'd post this anyways. Gotta keep practicing.

Very, very 1990s vibe. I have several concept clothing designs for Djehkäujaa. She can vary from bare minimal & practical to flashy depending on her mood. She tends to go more flashy with her shoes, because she has a shoe collecting fetish. However, as a humanoid she mostly doesn't understand human fashion and can wear wrong clothing choices for situations not appropriate for various situations, and doesn't understand why.

Lively, tends to be way more flashy, but can easily get practical if she has something important to do, that's messy, or dirty.

Djehkäujaa Singing Song Fragment via Snapchat

I did some rough doodles of Djehkäujaa today since the weather got cold (yes it's JULY) and my internet is NOT working correctly!










Here's The Rough sketches:





Then on Snapchat, they have a feature that allows you to superimpose a facial image over your face. SO, I accidentally tapped it, and it automatically put Djehkäujaa there! I actually really liked it, so I did a rendition of her singing the dragon song I wrote for her in my story/film/motion-picture.

 I don't particularly care for my vocal for Djehkäujaa. I think my vocal is more for Lively than her.

Actually, I would prefer a vocal more like the beloved late Melanie Thornton or Melodie Sexton. I also like Rozalla.
