about

The first in the four part electroacoustic song cycle, Optimism utilises a variety of water samples that liken the narrative to diving into a body of water. From the shoreline the ocean on a clear day looks exciting and full of promise. Composed in simple strophic form, the violin and cello mirror the main melody, accompanied by a pulsating 7/8 beat.

lyrics

Optimism - Vanessa Voyez

Borrowed dreams have carried me
Filled my sails with air
I'll chase an endless summer
I'll live without a care

I'm navigating by the stars
My eyes are on the sky
I'm counting down the seconds
'Till it's time for me to fly

I knew this day was coming
I never had a doubt
That all my hopes and plans and dreams
Would happily play out

I cut the ribbon of my youth
It flutters to the floor
This brand's open for business
I open the first door
