about
I initially wrote part of this song in 2016, to play around with one of FL Studio's default plugins. Two years later, in 2018, I expanded upon it, slowed it down massively, and wrote more lyrics. I didn't know how to mix back then, however.
I decided to write as if I were writing for the stalled indie game that inspired me so much up to this point -- Song of the Firefly, by Arpeggio Games -- and I bore the characters and the plot of it in mind. Several hard years passed, and several file losses happened, and I'd all but forgotten about this song.
However, just days before Lent was about to begin in 2021, I looked through my file dump on Newgrounds and found an unexpected discovery.
The mid-stage FLP for this song was somehow still in my NG file dump, and it was a file that I thought I'd never see again. Immediately upon discovering this I downloaded it, opened it in FL 11 and gave it a mixdown -- before realising that it could be opened in FL 20 without any trouble whatsoever. I added more embellishment. I gave it a much better mixdown and redid the vocals.
This is From Earth's Blackest Night, as it is meant to have been all this time. After all these years, it is still a pertinent song to me.

lyrics
Sing me a song from Earth's blackest night
When it seems all hope has faded
Sing with your heart and remember your light
That blows the dark away
Sing me a song from Earth's darkest hour
When it seems that nothing matters
Sing, for the light will consume and devour
The clouds of doubt and shame
CHORUS:
Tonight
We rise
Tonight
We fight for who we are
Sing me a song, when all is in ruins
(Sing me a song, when tears start to fall)
When it seems that dreams are dying
Sing through the tears, though hard it may be,
(Sing through the night, though hard it may be,)
And wonders will come to pass
Sing me a song, and reach out to me
With what scant light you can find here
Sing for the end of the world and beyond,
For we will still survive
When it seems all hope has faded
Sing with your heart and remember your light
That blows the dark away
Sing me a song from Earth's darkest hour
When it seems that nothing matters
Sing, for the light will consume and devour
The clouds of doubt and shame
CHORUS:
Tonight
We rise
Tonight
We fight for who we are
Sing me a song, when all is in ruins
(Sing me a song, when tears start to fall)
When it seems that dreams are dying
Sing through the tears, though hard it may be,
(Sing through the night, though hard it may be,)
And wonders will come to pass
Sing me a song, and reach out to me
With what scant light you can find here
Sing for the end of the world and beyond,
For we will still survive
