Cleopatra
Written by Karliene Reynolds 2022

- | LYRICS |-
Symbol and a secret
Ancient Queen of Egypt
Once revered like Isis
Reduced to a temptress
Gone are tales of her mind
Coiled in gold serpentine
Sands of time have entombed
All she was is assumed
A phoenix of her day
Dominion in her veins
A wise and knowing sage
The strength to hold her reign
Beyond her beauty
In his story
Beyond her beauty
Tell me her story
Last of all the pharaohs
Queen so known and unknown
Egypt’s Queen at eighteen
Many tongues she could speak
Stabilized her kingdom
Beloved by her people
Defined by her lovers
Not success and power
A phoenix of her day
Dominion in her veins
A wise and knowing sage
The strength to hold her reign
Beyond her beauty
In his story
Beyond her beauty
Tell me her story
Defined by her lovers
Not her sway and power
In the politics of Rome
Gifted philosopher
Mother and warrior
Led a fleet in naval war
Withered to her sex life
Snaring men with her eyes
Watch her power disappear
Queen of guts and glory
Lost in a male story
Of his fantasy and fear
A phoenix of her day
Dominion in her veins
A wise and knowing sage
The strength to hold her reign
Beyond her beauty
In his story
Beyond her beauty
Tell me her story
i love that karliene did this for cleopatra and also elizabeth bathory. i knew cleopatra was actually not too revered for her beauty, but that she spoke many languages and was likely the most well educated person on the planet at that time with all the subjects she studied as well as access to amazing tutors and scholars. the romans, however, wanted to demonize her and reduce her to nothing but a beautiful temptress, and this image of her they projected still stands to this day.
i’ve never really seen anyone stand up for elizabeth bathory though. actually, i read the same thing about her so consistently that i figured what they said about her bathing in virgin blood had to be true. but karliene’s song “bathory” forced me to reconsider that. only after listening to it did i find a romanian scholar that believed she was falsely accused. we have to be careful what we believe about female figures in history, because so much of it is overwhelmingly written by men.
thank you karliene for giving these historical women some credit and justice. i love the message they send as well as your voice!
So very true and frankly, it amazes me that Boudica survived in such good light from Roman times though she was no queen.
Bathory is a difficult one to study. But from what I have been able to discover is that. She didn't take shit from anyone. ua-cam.com/video/oUNonHQ4Nc8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=iilluminaughtii does a deep dive.
This is very true. It's fascinating to read up on the real woman behind the Roman propaganda. A revered, intelligent Queen reduced to a one-dimensional, wanton temptress is really kind of ridiculous. It's sad how long this image has stuck, and I hope one day we'll get an awesome movie or tv series that explores who she really was.
@@Haryah11 I guess "men" didn't feel the need to talk bad about women that day. Geeze, you guys even contradict yourselves.
Men have always loved their mothers, wives, and daughters just as much as women have. Society has not been designed throughout history to suit the greed and misogyny of men. It's been designed by necessity with the goal of protecting loved ones. There was no feminist movement in ancient Rome because one wasn't needed or wanted by anyone. The second women were able to safely expand their roles in society they did so. Only people with an ideology to support try to say men have always oppressed women just because they could. A healthy mind can see that women were protected. As for rumors or slander, women talked just as much as men, and men listened just as much. They told stories both good and bad about both men and women. When you come out writing narratives about evil lying men attacking women for being women you're only revealing your own angst towards men.
Love this! The 5/4 time signature lends itself so beautifully to the Eygptian style! Bet this was really fun to create 🧡🤎
Ah, thanks so much Sharm. It was actually so much fun to create. It's nice to step outside what I'm used to and try something different.
Also I think it‘s still comprehensible for people without a musical background. I feel like a lot of songs with odd matters are pretty advanced and not so much written for the masses. But this one is. Love it!
It’s like the women find you to represent their truth in song. There are theories that Cleopatra’s beauty was actually fairly average but her wit and powers of communication and charisma were boiled down to “they paid attention because she was hot” instead of her commanding the attention with her message and her self assurance. She wasn’t powerful because she was hot, she was hot because she was powerful. Your song captures how his story has so thoroughly wronged her and I love it. You are brilliant song writer and musician and I want to thank you so much for sharing that gift with us.
I love your comment. The idea that these amazing women may be seeking me out to write songs for them and tell their stories is a beautiful idea. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. :)
There's probably a truth to that "she was hot because she was powerful".
Cleopatra was strong, intelligent, witty, and charming, by all non-Roman accounts. Charisma and confidence have a strong allure.
I think a large part of the "she was hot" stuff comes from the Roman depictions of her. They always portrayed her as an evil temptress who bedeviled good, upstanding Romans like Caesar and Antony, bent them to her will with her feminine wiles.
And obviously, a seductress like that would have to be hot, right?
actually because of the fact how inbred her lineage was she probably wasn't a subject of beauty at all
Thank you!
{likes 110 w/mine 111 just in case}
With Gratitude! ! ! ♥️🌹♥️
Blessed Be! ! ! ❤️🙏❤️
This feels so accurate- it’s like Karliene is channeling these women with her powerful songs. I’ve also heard that Cleopatra was more known for her intelligence and charisma than her looks, and I think it’s just easier for some men to say ‘oh that woman accomplished a lot because she’s got’, than to acknowledge that women are capable of so much more than that.
Some men couldn't stand a powerful woman in her own right like Cleopatra. Sadly, it's still true today. Thank you for another beautiful reminder.
Feminist women I’ll pass.
Men have always loved their mothers, wives, and daughters just as much as women have. Society has not been designed throughout history to suit the greed and misogyny of men. It's been designed by necessity with the goal of protecting loved ones. There was no feminist movement in ancient Rome because one wasn't needed or wanted by anyone. The second women were able to safely expand their roles in society they did so. Only people with an ideology to support try to say men have always oppressed women just because they could.

@@path1024 I said SOME men are threatened by powerful women.
@@kmrose I love them =)
@@kmrose SOME women are threatened by powerful women.
If both are true then any mention of sex is sexist. =)
Love it! I like that you always manage to surprise the audience in the topic of your music! I especially love your music on different women of power throughout history and even in fiction! This song reminds of your works on Elizabeth and Boudica from earlier. It also reminds a bit of your song on Cersei. This is definitely an epic!
Exactly. Her women of power songs are the always the BEST.
Yes! It also reminds me of the song she did about Elizabeth Bathory the Blood Countess
Thank you so much. As a major history nerd, this is absolutely what I love to do. I'm glad you liked it.
Karliene is a history buff. My life is complete
Uhhhhhh Cercei was evil and awful and no one to aspire to in any way. I say this as a woman she is in no way our ambassador.
“All she was is assumed” so true!! So many historians and men of her time minimized her. I love it when you write girl power, Karliene!! It’s probably one of my favorite things about the music you make- you portray women as independent entities, despite history’s portrayal. Thank you for creating this masterpiece!!❤❤
They did that with her lovers as well almost no historian talks aboutIf what mark Anthony did in his time, in fact she's the most interesting part of the story, when you think of that time period you don't think of mark Anthony or any of the men she was with, you think of her, if anything she was minimized less than her lovers.
@@sindelscat9336 I actually don’t agree. There is large dialogue concerning Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian, the second triumvirate, and their military successes and eventual fracture. Cleopatra is objectified as a piece on the board, rather than regarded as a player with the same standing as the aforementioned men. Therefore, I fully support the current historical momentum towards a more balanced portrayal of history (for example, while written sources are fantastic, the status of the writer must be taken into account, as well as any biases they may have had).
@@eliselestrange-lannister1156 there really isn't a large discussion, there are a few historians that do talk about Antony, Lepidus, and Octavian's military success, but it is often rarely discussed by historians, and rather documented by records. When it comes to Cleopatra on the other hand, it just takes one search to find articles upon articles of her accomplishments. Infact there are even articles that mention only her and what she had done. So to say she is often objectified is an untrue statement.
@@eliselestrange-lannister1156 from what i see, she was just a manipulator who used rome to kill her siblings and to set her on the throne with an alliance. So in my eyes she just saved her skin because rome would control egypt with or without her. But still an interesting person who used everything she had to the fullest.
All your songs sound like movie soundtracks but I can truly invision an opening to a movie. Rolling over the sands and showing the people and pyramids
Karliene, this is divinely majestic. You never fail to capture the essence of a character through your songs. Simply bewitching, as always.
My 5 year old LOVES your Boudica song. She will totally adore this one and then quiz me about Cleopatra's story as she did about Boudica's. Thank you for giving my daughter a love for ancient history.
This is a _great_ song to have playing on loop whilst playing _Assassin's Creed:Origins._ :3.
Ugh, I love that game so much. I think it may be time for another playthrough.
Omg yes
This is absolutely fantastic! I love that you give those historic female figures a voice and tell their stories in such a wonderful way....
Funny enough though I heard, that Cleopatra was not necessarily "that beautiful" by ancient standards, but very clever and witty, which made her very attractive to the opposite s** such as Caesar!
the music and vocals transported me away to the ancient Mediterranean world :) Love the historical references! She is a fascinating historical figure.
There is a book called "I Cleopatra" that I think you would really enjoy if you like to read.
My past life was there.
I'll definitely check that one out. Thank you. She is a deeply fascinating woman, and I'm so enjoying learning about her.
Oh wow. Another treat so soon after Titanic. I so love how you look at different women and their stories. I would love to see your take on Gráinne Mhaol (there is a great song about her by Miracle of Sound, but I would like to hear about her in your style), or about the conversation Mhaol had with Queen Elizabeth I. Or Marie Curie, or what I would like to hear is your take on "Mary, Did You Know?" Because that song is whimsical (and beautifully sung), but tends to make me furious. We never hear what Mary thinks of her baby boy dying on the cross. So many women to sing about. Cleopatra one particularly hit me... how she was a shrewd politician and was reduced to being a sex symbol. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
what a powerful but beautiful medley
This was so beautiful. Thank you for another portal taking us back in time. You definitely did Cleopatra justice. I love ancient Egypt. Saved to my liked music. You're amazing.
Thank you so much. I'm thrilled you like it so much.
I got autentic chills as soon as the song started, love it!
Ohhh man, I can't wait for this! All your songs are so incredibly badass, I'm sure this one will be epic as well!
Thank you so much :)
Can you do one on Nefertiti?
I have been in love all thinks Epygt and this song is so impressive and breathtaking 💕. Cleopatra was and still is my favorite Queen 👑
Mine too
Gives me shivers. I love this so much.
Also, the detail of saying "lost in his story" is so beautiful. And I even learned some stuff today. I didn't know she became queen at eighteen.
Thank you for sending me off on a scavenger hunt through articles and books now 🥰
Oh, that's awesome. She's a wonderful woman to research. I highly recommend a book called 'Cleopatra - A Life' by Stacey Schiff
You seriously never put out a song that isn’t phenomenal. Love this soo much, I think it’s one of my new favorites of yours (though blood countess will always hold top spot for me)!
I love that you like that one so much. 'Blood Countess' was a really great one to write, as I love dark subjects and she has a fascinating story. I really could write about famous historical women forever.
@@Karliene well I for one certainly hope you do!
I didn't see how she would top Elizabeth or Anne Bonny. One of the most underrated vocalists of our time. Her story telling is equal only by her rich vocals.
You never seem to dissapoint me. I love it!
I always love your history songs 😭♥ This is right up there with the Anne Bonny and Elizabeth soundtracks.
Wow, thank you so much.
I hope this is the preview of an upcoming album… I love this!!!
How on earth is every single one of your songs so incredible! Good job yet again!
Feels like egypt is the vibe this year
Excellent song that captures Cleopatra and the injustice done to her by Rome perfectly. I love all your songs/covers and the way you manage to tell a story in a song, album or EP.
Ok....this gave me chills.....amazing
Such a nice surprise after such a long week! Thank you for all your songs!
Thank you for listening. I'm so happy you like them :)
This is amazing all hail Cleopatra!!!!
An absolute master piece as always!! Lots of love for you and your beautiful music from Germany! :>
I love this song!
Came here again because Kathleen Martinez, an archaeologist who has been searching for Cleopatra's tomb for over 20 years, may have just discovered her resting place at last.
She discovered a 1,300m tunnel that the Egyptian government described as "an engineering marvel". Within was found over 1,500 busts, coins, and other relics.
The vast hidden underground complex led to the mediterranean sea and several sunken structures. Work is continuing done there now.
If this is Cleopatra's tomb, it will be the biggest archeological find since Tutankhamun.
Marvelous! This is in my top 5 fav songs for the moment and I hope it will remain like this. 👸
Love this! This has quickly become one of my favorite songs by you. You represented Cleopatra so well. Would love to see you do a song about Arthurian mythology or the Robin Hood legend next!
I love it ❤
This gave me chills. I love it
Beautiful youre voice is magical
What a brilliant composition! I'm reminded of a favorite band I won't name, but this is better than their similar work.
Beautiful song❤❤❤❤ listening on repeat!
This is amazing! I love your lyrics and the powerful vocals and music!!
Much love from Egypt ❤️❤️
What a great song

When I first read this song's title and saw the thumbnail I was a bit weary. There are a lot of adaptations of Cleopatra VII and most of them famously reduce her to a sex symbol or some kind of evil temptress (often both), though considering the wonderful "Blood Countess" (one of my favourites) I felt somewhat safe to expect at least a certain degree of nuance...
Nuance I got and I have found that I have quickly become quite fond of this song.
It paints a very nuanced picture of Cleopatra VII which as a student of ancient history I appreciate a lot. (Though it does maybe overshoot a bit at times, but that's fine.)
The lines I like best are probably (in order of appearance):
"All she was is assumed" - because it's sadly very true, there is no such thing as unbiased accounts of her. We struggle through stories of her and practically frankenstein a patchwork of what her history might have been
"Queen so known and unknown" - basically same as above plus the added fact every child knows her name with (usually) only a very pop-culture based knowledge of her
"Defined by her lovers/Not success and power" & "Defined by her lovers/Not her sway and power/In the politics of Rome" - explanation below
"Lost in a male story" - explanation below
"Beyond her beauty/Tell me her story" - because we don't *have* her story. Just other people's stories that happen to include her because they met her at some point
I think I like this so much especially because, like many ancient royal women, Cleopatra is often reduced to little more than a stylised plot device in the ancient sources, a tool for the given author's agenda - generally showcasing specific traits in the men she comes in contact with (Caesar and especially Marcus Antonius) and frankly, the amount of topoi she gets laden with gets ridiculous in some cases. Because they're not writing about the person Cleopatra, they're writing about a literary construct bent to fit the narrative they're building - generally to make their main character look good or bad (they don't just do that to royal women, just look at how every ancient Alexander historiography paints a notably different picture of him and his elites depending on what the author is trying to sell)
It's a problem we face with many ancient royal women, be they Olympias of Epirus (mother of Alexander III, more commonly known as "Alexander the great"), Atossa (mother of Xerxes I), Livia Drusilla (wife of Octavian Augustus) or, here, Cleopatra VII (last of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Macedonian rulers of Egypt established by Ptolemaios, one of Alexander III's generals - his naval commander, if I recall correctly). (Not that later women in positions of power had it necessarily easier.)
Especially when they are (as we see often with the ancient Greek authors or the much later ancient roman authors) written about by authors from distinctly different cultural backgrounds that don't necessarily understand the actual cultural distinctions, roles and spheres of actions these women moved in.
And in case anyone wants to do some further reading on the topic: may I suggest anything by Elizabeth Carney (the historian, that is, not the novelist) on the topic of either an ancient royal woman in particular or ancient royal women in general. She's one of the leading experts on the field.
omg GREAT
Just can't not love this perfection just like your others...another great one!
Та,'фала,за срчка Karliene.As far as i'm concerned you are my favourite Scotish singer.
Wow! Thank you for your music! Pure inspiration! I discover your music în this day #GreenpeaceDay with your wonderful song:"Mother Earth". Your voice is angelic. ❤️🎧🎼🇷🇴✌️
This is a welcomed surprise
i love this song thank you karliene
I like that Cleopatra was Greek Macedonian and she was descended from Alexander and pretty much in breeding
Congratulations on a masterpiece!!
A Phoenix of her day ..
I love this!! Thank you!
This is beautiful and befitting
Wow 😮 & lyrics 👌👌👌👌❤️😍
I hope Karilene would one day do a song about a woman from the Bible like Esther since they're all strong in their own ways.
Beautiful e dear sister ..i thank you from my heart ..blessings 😘💖
Good job!
Awsome...everytime I see a notification from you I know it's gonna be the best time ☺️
UA-cam randomly shows me a video information of her in my feeds and now a song just released for her about her….damn UA-cam. What is mainstream trying to push this year.
She is one great educated and intelligent woman. Nothing can beat that. Super rich too. However, she laid not one but two married men. That is where I have my problem. But then she’s like any powerful politicians. She is powerful enough to do what she wants. Both fascinating and hateful.
Your music, your art just magnificient
got yourself a new sub here
hails from drauglur from germany
I love it so much!!!!! Plz do a song about thranduil , Legolas father :)
I love this song. it shows the true face of who Cleopatra was. Are you sure she didn't visit you while you were making this song? lol because this sounds like she's saying, look here and let me show who I really was.
by the way, you should totally put an album together of all your songs about women of power. it would be awesome.
Love these songs, would you ever consider making a song for Elizabeth of York?
0:22 So true, she literally seduced only two peoples in her entire life and yet somehow, she became some kind of femme fatal that wormed her way to power through seduction, forgetting everything else she accomplished. Forgetting the scholar, the politician and the stratege.
The song is very good though.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
(Proverbs 31:30)
I have colored this Queen on a color by numbers app
I would to see her version of Wu Zentian
If only Marc Anthony had won the battle of Actium what a different world it would be.
As a historian I'd like to say how much I love this song. Finally, a feminist and accurate view of Cleopatra!
How is it a feminist view? It's either accurate or it isn't. Feminism doesn't make something true or not.
@@path1024 It is when for so long she's been considered just a woman who slept with powerful men and that's what all she was.
@@ftikitsune I'm sure women said the same things about her, including her sister Arsenoe. I don't see why a historian would need to inject divisive modern ideology into a matter of fact or fiction that has nothing to do with men oppressing women. There's an awful lot of ideology going into science these days from certain quarters.
@@path1024 Each to their own. But I see you're so against what you call "divisive modern ideology" that you would rather take a random comment showing appreciation to a random song, showing your disdain, instead of doing literally anything else. And yes, women have said similar things about her, just like other men who had no knowledge of anything, regurgitating half baked opinions based on hearsay.
@@ftikitsune Hmm, are you sure you're a trained scientist? All of your arguments appear designed to elicit an emotional response from others. You're attempting to demonize me rather than confront my argument. Your beliefs seem more akin to religion than science.
I've been listening to you for a long time.. and im always impressed by your lyrics, voice and stories, you are a real artist I do love with all my heart and feelings. IF YOU CAN CHECK YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE. SEE A MESSAGE WITH MY NAME, LOOK AT THE DATE AND THE STORY. YOU ARE LOVED
🇷🇺👏👏👏👏
I wonder how Cleopatra would react to this song if she were standing right here listening to it? If I were to sing a song about her, I think I would start with all the things she truly wanted to be defined by. From my understanding she was an incredible woman but limited by the world of men. When i come across stories of her or even historical accounts, i hear lots of speculation but not enough facts. Some accounts of her are done with tremendous hostility and even contempt. I really wonder about those telling those stories with raised eyebrows rather than her when i hear them.

Hey think of doing a song on King Solomon
Technically, there's already an entire book written on that! And it's really racy. But don't tell that to conservative Christians. They continue to insist that poems clearly talking about people making love are somehow supposed to be symbolic of Christ love for his church!
@@micheledeetlefs6041 I just wanna her karline voice singing about Solomon
History sounds like a male, if you think of it separately, it would make His story...
Singing masterpieces as always! Loved it 🔥
Fantastic! The Arabic/Byzantine scale suits you so well & as Sharm mentioned, the 5/4 fits beautifully with the mood
Ah, Gav, thank you so much :)
Terrific song as usual! So very catchy. And on the subject of Egyptian queens, would you ever consider doing a song about Nefertiti as well? Because I think she also has an interesting life story worth telling, and I feel you'd be more than capable of doing her justice.
Or perhaps Empress Wu Zetian? She was one of the few Empresses to rule China as her own agent, and like Cleopatra, was somewhat remembered controversially/demonized for it.
She is very intriguing too!
Never say never :)
@@Karliene Oh! How about someone less well-known? Queen Aahotep. Though she wasn't technically a regnant queen, being the regent for the child-king Ahmose I who founded the 18th Dynasty, she was a mighty queen in her own right. She preserved the Egyptian state at a time when it was on the brink of annihilation, Ahmose's father and elder brother both dying in battle after overthrowing the overlordship of the Hyksos kings in the Delta and possibly even personally leading the defence of the royal palace itself against a Hyksos attack. She was buried with weapons and with the Gold of Valour, the highest military honour of ancient Egypt. She was also the first to hold the title of God's Wife of Amun, the most powerful female religious office in Egypt - this from her coffin lid so it may have been post-mortem, but thats debated. It was the office of God's Wife of Amun that would pass to the famous Hatshepsut which would give her the political power as regent herself to become a regnant queen of Egypt. There might not be enough there for a song, i guess, but I dunno. It's a story that needs to be better known about I think.
What about Pocahontas as well? I only know of her through the Disney movies and I *think* she was a pioneer with a duo I can't remember the names of. Or even better, Marie Antoinette!
@@betholiver4742 I think you mean Sacagawea, who accompanied Lewis and Clark west to the Pacific to map the Louisiana Purchase as guide and interpreter. Different Indigenous woman than Pocahontas but just as awesome (she did all of that while literally carrying her child on her back!) She definitely deserves more recognition than just being on the coin dollar.
I've always been fascinated by Cleopatra, her life was so interesting and varied! To have a song for her written by one of my favorite artists is such a treat.
I'm so happy you liked it. Thank you.
This is great! Karliene never fails to deliver. Wonder if someone will one day make a song about her, just as she has done for Cleopatra.
Love it! There aren't enough songs about Cleopatra. I personally would like a song on Bastet. You are a great singer.
This is so good! I did a report on Cleopatra in in grade six, and was surprised to find out that the thing she's most famous for (her beauty) wasn't actually that big of a deal, especially compared to her massive list of awesome accomplishments. I think the first thing that jumped out at me was that she was the first ruler in her dynasty to speak Egyptian. Thanks for creating something that focuses on her as she actually was.
funny enough based on the fact that she was very inbred (you can look at her liniage) she probably wasn't much of a beauty at all but then again, most pharaohs never addressed their subjects personally either, so her beauty could have been rumor
@@fangslore9988 It's interesting (and sometimes infuriating) how her reputation is so incredibly different from her reality.
And yeah. The Ptolemies were so ridiculous inbred.
@@pamdawkins13 stories change over time like the game of telephone or Chinese whispers. when it starts its the truth but when it keeps being passed on it becomes changed and distorted since humans by our very nature are unreliable story tellers
@@fangslore9988 Agreed, and in Cleopatra's case, there was probably the additional layer of propaganda going on.
@@pamdawkins13 oh no doubt. romans always thought themselves as the superior race during their time to justify taking slaves
from what I've seen of Karliene's songs, I could see her doing a song of Grace O'Malley, sometimes called the pirate queen of Ireland.
First Queen Gloriana and now Cleopatra. Who's next?
There are plenty of badass, wonderful, fierce women in history to write about so who knows?
Well, if study history based on real facts, and not on the TV series "Rome", the Cleopatra looks like a victim of circumstances. On the other hand, her life made much more sense than the life of any current politician.
Thank you for the music and song. Really liked it!
Can't wait for this!! I am such a fan of your music, (especially Queen of Camelot, Elizabeth/Anne & Mother Earth. I even feature your channel on mine & plan to do some covers of your songs soon! With full credit ofc) Thank you for making amazing music & take care! xoxo 😁💜
I didn't know how much I would end up loving this song!!! 🎉Love it Karliene!!!! 🌅❤️🔥🧣🎨 🎆
Could you consider writing a song about Hatshepsut? I feel that is a truly underrated queen. Who has been erased from history because of her gender.
Such a beautiful song! I love the way you write about the women of history, how you always focus on the human behind the mythology. And, as always, it sounds simply fantastic
Thank you so much. I'm so happy you like my work.
You've done it again! Everything you put out is pure gold
Thank you so much.
@@Karliene love your work, you are super talented and your Ann Bonny album will always be my favourite!
The winners write the history. Many men are terrified at the concept of women in leadership. I have always wondered how much of Cleopatra's was male propaganda. The more I know of her the greater my respect.
I love Queen Cleopatra.
I'm always blown away by what you create, especially when you try something new. This is just so good, the melody, the rhythm, everything. You just get it right every time, in every possible style, and it's always so freaking addictive. You're so inspiring
