Music Box Boy and Ballerina Girl: An Original Song

IMG_1685.JPG

"Music Box Boy and Ballerina Girl" is a song about a moment in time that is captured inside a music box. This song seems a bit like a lullaby, but with a modern, Indie twist, a music box playing, and a lot of layered vocals. I was going for a nostalgic, haunting sound. Ballerina Girl is the ballerina that is inside some music boxes and turns when the music plays. The music box playing symbolizes a happy memory.  In the song some time passes by, but the memories still linger.  When the boy opens the music box, he remembers Ballerina Girl and can still see her dance. Cotton candy clouds in the twilight sky is about a single, ideal moment. I came up with these lyrics because when I was writing this song, I looked out the window and this is how the sky looked to me. This song is about how all the moments we are living now will someday become memories. Some of those memories will stay and we will replay them again and again. I would like to thank Chris Bihuniak of Rock Band Academy Studios for producing this song and helping me bring it to life.

Music Box Boy and Ballerina Girl

By Grace Piper Fields

 

There is a spot

Inside your mind

There I will linger

A bit of the time

 

Put in the key

And open the box

The music that plays

Is the sound of thoughts

 

Cotton candy clouds 

In the twilight sky 

As time flies by

You’re the music box boy

And I’m your ballerina girl

When she turns she may seem coy

But for you she’ll give a twirl

 

And so we dance

And our music plays

We don’t even see

The hours turn into days

 

Go on with your day

And sleep through the night

The memories you have

Are stories of life

 

Cotton candy clouds 

In the twilight sky 

As time flies by

You’re the music box boy

And I’m your ballerina girl

When she turns she may seem coy

But for you she’ll give a twirl

 

Should you get lost

Along the way

Find the spot

Where our music plays

 

Inside the box

A moment in time

One that is caught

And plays on rewind

 

Cotton candy clouds

 In the twilight sky 

As time flies by

You’re the music box boy 

And I’m your ballerina girl

When she turns she may seem coy

But for you she’ll give a twirl

 

And I’m your ballerina girl
