‘Cicada’ Lyrics
---------------------------------------
My love, you are my muse and enticed me into song
I vanish into euphony to worlds far gone
I can hear the bluebells ring
So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving
I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear them sing
I'll disappear into a field of blue

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?

Some might only hear a humming noise
But if you know just how to listen
I promise you will hear my voice
I can hear the bluebells ring
So I am leaving, I am leaving, I am leaving
I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear them sing
I'll disappear into a field of blue

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?
When I vanish into melody
Would you turn us into folklore?
Like the Muses used to do
I'll sing for you forevermore

I can hear the bluebells ring
I can hear the bluebells ring

I am pixy-led, and I might not ever come back
Oh, I might not ever come back
I am spellbound, and I do not want to be found
Oh, I do not want to be found

When I vanish into melody
And never return, far gone
Would you turn me into a cicada
So I can finish your song?
When I vanish into melody
Would you give me translucent wings?
And I will finish your song
When summer begins

Wonderful. Love hearing all the backing Zoras, with the different timbres available to her.

[corygordon]

God Zora’s voice is addicting. I can’t tell you how many times she has sung me to sleep since I found this band

[Genni]

Zora's voice is incredible. The control and range she has is incredible. The band as a whole is amazing but damn- those vocals

[ErynithMawen]

Zora has got a unique voice and her lyrics are so creative. The summer gothic vibes we didn't know we needed 🖤✨

[nikitasantamaria]

My goodness this is beautifully eerie without the instruments. Zoras voice is so powerful

[LaraCapelobo]

If you guys bring more isolated vocals from other songs, or even instrumental only, We will LOVE to hear it 💓

[JasonSmith-lpwg]

In my part of the world, it's the other side of night, dawn approaches (and I can't think of a better time at which to be imbibing this vocal ambrosia). Once again, Briars, you bring warmth to this cold heart. (And now, I retire to my coffin.)

[katydiaval]

Dear Lord 🥹🖤 I would DIE if you would bring the only vocals version of the Arms of the Ocean 🥹🧎🏻‍♀️

I don't need to be dead to know what angels sound like after this version, I love you Zora you are the best❤❤❤❤

[michaelkazmierskidunn]

HOLY Studio acapellas (isolated vocals) are my FAVORITE THING IN THE Why? It's because you'll be able to hear amazing vibrato-rich notes that weren't really easily discernable in the original recording. Also if there's that effect I call the "Kelly Clarkson" effect (two different octaves doing the same melody), isolated vocals make that more noticeable as well. This is just AWESOME!

[PW_Thorn]

OMG... Here Cicada's vocal details are revealed in all their glory, put into perspective by the deep silence in place of the music. And it's completely sublime and insane to contemplate (yes, I didn't even know until now that you could contemplate with your eardrums).

It's teeming with vocal details, backing vocals, whispers, harmonies, technical effects, ... It gives me the sweetest chills.

I hope it will inspire some of YouTube's keenly-followed vocal analysts to compare the 2 cicada versions.

But what a gift for the fans (and me first)!!! 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️ Thank you so so much!

[notelcol]

The whispers just add a whole new feel to the song, this is so much more haunting and soulful wow! I thought the original was perfect but has somehow transcended perfection for me✨

[BlackRainRising]

hearing the whispering echoes in the background adds such a haunting tone, i love it

[ChipMoody]

Absolutely LOVE getting to hear a cappella versions of BB songs!!! 💜💜💜

[metalrob]

It's always amazing when your vocals are highlighted or isolated this is an awesome version of Cicada it's even more haunting and beautiful Zora I love your vocals they are what soothes and nourishes my soul

[BlueCat-qs]

wow, music or not, Zora's voice is always beautiful to hear.

[juliaodonovan]

I love the isolated vocals so much 😍 They're always so enchanting 🖤

[tturing]

Wow this is amazing. And very atmospheric in deed. Excellent song and so interesting to hear the acapella version. Very different form the one with music. And both equally great.

[Hffhjjhh]

Please more isolated vocals from the other songs! ❤

[dragomyra]

i absolutely loved this song, thank you for providing us with this sheer beauty!! isolated vocals have this touch of a mystery ballad and enchantment to them <з
