A-song-a-day week, day 3: Outcast Society


I walk along
I’m far from home
I am on my own
No company
No one who guides me
So I feel alone

I don’t know where I am
Don’t know how I came here
Suddenly from far away
I hear this tempting melody


I have no choice
I’ve got to go
To where this music’s coming from
First I walk
Then I run
On and on and on

What I see’s
Surprising me
It’s a group of strange looking men
As I get near
Their words get clear
And this is what I hear:

We are the outcast society
We are united people
You only meet us when you’re alone
Let’s be alone together
Leave your loneliness behind
Join us and stay forever
’cause we are the outcast society
We are united people

But where am I?
What is this place?
Is this another world?
Everything here’s so natural
Oh, my head whirls

How does it come
That I am here?
Why did I meet you?
In this place
With so much space
What will we do?

They answered me
Singing the
Adored melody again
And what they sing
Is such a great thing
Just listen to them:

We are the outcast society
We are united people
Together we’ll build this new world
And we call it Fyra
Here you can do whatever you want
If you can settle that with your conscience
We are the outcast society
We are united people

We are the outcast society
We are united people
You only meet us when you’re alone
Let’s be alone together
Leave your loneliness behind
Join us and stay forever
We are the outcast society
We are united people

We are the outcast society
We are united people
Together we’ll build this new world
And we call it Fyra
Here you can do whatever you want
If you can settle that with your conscience
We are the outcast society
We are united people

This is the oldest song from Go! to Fyra. It's from november 2006. It began with the bass line of the chorus. I liked the chord progression and wanted to make an 80s pop song of it. But then I had the idea to give it a Fyranian touch and thought it would be great for meeting the outcast society. The first version had a continuous 4/4 time signature. Later we changed the bridge to 3/4 to make it more interesting and a little bit more progressive (it's still some kinda pop song, I know …).

We'd like to thank some more people. trash5 pledged for a Gold Edition. That's awesome! Thank you! Also thanks to the anonymous people who pledged. Maybe we should create some Fyranian hidden-ID-cards for people who want to hide their identity? The Fyranian Embassy would be the first one to officially support hidden identities.
