Steampianist - Guiding Light feat. TBK

2nd track for my free unnamed E.P., for now
it's an indirect sequel to Cruelty of Hope. A fading wisp approaches
a light goddess, similar to mother in the last song, asking to be made into a world
however the goddess had countless of her world destroyed leaving her sullen and feeling
inept to weave life once more.

So I have a theory... what if the “fading wisp” thing is actually Oliver from the cruelty of hope and the “light goddess” is that light he was seeing in the first song. And he leaves his home/lamplight to go follow his “silent star” and when he gets there it turns out to be the goddess from this song. And she ends up creating a new world for him different to the one that the old “mother” had made for him in the beginning. Idk it’s probably dumb but hey 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@Steampianist]

Plausible haha

[@henryarguelles602]

This is my exact thought.

[@bencoons2813]

I figured a similar theory but that the guiding light he sees is what she made, not the goddess herself, and that he's simply following her guiding light and they haven't actually met yet

[@KaiZL07]

Imagine Steampainist doing a vlog on how he does his musics, that'd be awesome, especially to people who aspire to be like him :)))

[@mcskilled1395]

Once again thanks for commissioning me, mate ! Looking forward to hearing the end result 😄

[@nzuria8135]

I like to think that this light goddess is the Allmother's true form, and the wisp is the doll from the first song. The goddess has lost most of her hope after all her failures, including Lamplight, but the doll still exists because he's still clinging onto his hope. He wants her to try again by using his hope, and she finally agrees. At least, that's what I believe these two songs are telling us.

[@Steampianist]

Everything you said can be true but this goddess isn't the other goddess (mother) from the first song

[@nzuria8135]

Oh I got a heart! Thank you for replying. I know you said it was an indiricet sequel but there's definitely many parallels between the two songs.

_A clear message to artists like ourselves who listen to this. _*_I know they'll take your work for granted. I know they'll turn hardwork into nothing. But for someone with a grandeur potential to change the world, to put over the new fabric over the old ages, you can still give a second chance._* _I know everyone is wanting to give up this... But you can always create a new one. Even if one seems irreplaceable, another would mean same value to you. _*_Don't give up what you dream, just because everyone will reject you. The Universe was never perfect to begin with anyway. Why should you?_*

This is the sequel to Cruelty Of Hope right? I like the style of that song so much🥰🥰🥰
