Song written and performed by me...

I wrote this song about John & Shayera a while back, but just now with the coronavirus shutdown finally got the chance to finish composing and recording. It’s based on their leitmotif from JL/JLU (with a teensy bit of the Ancient History variant).

Way back when, while browsing online, I came across a page that listed the Justice League/JLU leitmotifs and where they appear. The second I got to the mention of Hawkgirl & Green Lantern’s love leitmotif, the thing just got stuck in my head and wouldn’t get out (now let’s all pause for a moment to appreciate the magnitude of geekiness it takes to not only get my favorite couple’s leitmotif stuck in my head, but also know what it is off the top of my head). The “creative process” went like this…

Next morning at work…

Me: *go about my day*

My brain: *plays the HG/GL leitmotif on a loop*

Me: *go about my day*

My brain: *plays the HG/GL leitmotif on a loop* …you make it hard to keep pretending, don’t you know I crave you more with every breath I take? Even though I know without a doubt this story has no happy ending-

Me: Whoa where did THAT come from?!?!

My brain: this tune is singing to me. I must write this song.

Me: I’m in the middle of work and don’t even have a pen and paper *go about my day*

My brain: *plays the HG/GL leitmotif on a loop* …you make it hard to keep pretending, don’t you know I crave you more with every breath I take? Even though I know without a doubt this story has no happy ending-

Me: *go about my day*

My brain: *plays the HG/GL leitmotif on a loop* …you make it hard to keep pretending, don’t you know I crave you more with every breath I take? Even though-

Another part of my brain: WHEN THE MOMENT COMES, WHEN THE SECRET’S OUT, WHEN MY FEELINGS ARE THE ONLY THING I’VE NEVER LIED ABOUT-

Me: OKAY BRAIN! YOU WIN! GO AHEAD!

Well and this song pretty much wrote itself (but I still take full credit)…

Obviously it’s not my voice that should be singing this (or anything really… sorry O.o ), especially with my allergies wrecking my throat for the past couple months and my voice going in and out… my “recording studio” was my cramped little closet which isn’t even a walk-in closet, I had to dump everything out… my microphone is a relic I found at Goodwill along with instructions for setup on Windows XP, and would keep distorting when I’d hit the high notes so I had to keep choking my already messed up voice… and sadly I don’t have enough skills to edit/filter it and make it sound less atrocious. BUT this song’s been rattling in my head for so long and finally I have the time, just had to get it out, voice or no voice LOL. Maybe if someone high enough up the food chain watches this, they’ll get Maria Canals-Barrera to sing it with the actual Hawkgirl voice and fix this travesty.
