After 3 years, Levi has a voice. And so, here is "Electric girl". : D
So, first. This isn't something I'm going to do with any regularity. I figured the best way to give Levi a voice after all this time was to make a song. And so that's what I did, I worked on it throughout last year and got to a place where I was finally "ok" with what was made.
So, for transparency. I can only play guitar. So what I did originally was start with a basic track I made myself, then used virtual instruments to make the other parts. This final track however was mixed by an audio engineer that re-did the instruments, so none of the instruments I did myself in this last version.
"But Levi, is that your voice?!"
It's as much my voice as any singer who's voice is heavily processed by antares and an audio engineer. xP
"What is the song about?"
It's from Levi's POV, and I've attached the lyric sheet. If I over explain it takes away the magic of what it is.
I'm still going to do some polls, I was just excited I got the master back and I've delayed long enough. After all this time in the RP and on social media, Levi needed a voice. And now she has one. So, this is "Electric girl" a fun little side project. :D Enjoy.
(edit: I accidentally posted an earlier revision of the lyrics, I fixed it. :D )
Levi - Electric Girl
Rain on my shoulders, neon in my eyes
City never sleeps, neither do I
They call me human just to make it easy
But I feel the storm when lightning breathes me
Light blue memories, fading to black
Every year I change, never unpack
I wear this skin like borrowed clothes
Trying to be needed, nobody knows
I'm not broken
I'm just undefined
Too much power for a borrowed life
I'm an electric girl in a world that don't fit
Heart full of thunder, hands won't quit
I light up the sky 'cause they need me strong
But no one asks where I belong
I’m an electric girl, caught between the lines
Not a god, not yours, not entirely mine
If I surge too bright, don’t turn away
I’m trying to learn how to stay
They ask where I’m from, I say “nowhere you know”
A home in the stars I can’t call my own
They want my power, not my name
They love the storm but fear the rain
I don’t age like you, I don’t fade like this
Time stands still when you outlive it
I laugh it off, make it look okay
But some nights I wish I’d decay
I don’t need saving
I just need space
Somewhere I’m more
Than a last defense
I’m an electric girl in a borrowed skin
Too alive to lose, too sworn to win
I crack the silence just to feel okay
If I stop sparking, I'll drift away
I’m an electric girl, dancing in the rain
Lightning in my veins, duty in my name
If I don’t belong, I’ll build my place
Out of sparks and empty space
If love is a wire, I learned it wrong
Plugged into forever, holding on
They call it a bond, I call it fate
I don’t need heaven, I’ll generate
I don’t want a throne
I don’t want control
I just want someone
To see me whole
I’m an electric girl, still figuring out
How to carry the charge without shorting out,
If I scare you, I swear it’s not my goal
I just learned too young how to control
I’m an electric girl, standing in the storm
Not a weapon, not a myth , just warm!
If I don’t have answers, I’ll still stay
I don’t need a sign, I’ll find my way
Rain keeps falling
City still hums
If this is home
Then here I come

This is incredibly good
Love it, sounds good
I'mr eally glad you liked this. >.<
That's really good. Processed or not you sang that very well!
Thank you Martin. :)
Absolute cinema 🙌
This is absolutely amazing. Sounds like an intro to a new anime. Congratulations and the hard work paying off. Keep it up. Man to see if this voice could make into full animation or just your own original sound track would be amazing.
This is a great song like I said. The music is great and money well spent to have it done right instead of digitally created. The vocals are what really hit home for me. So powerful (no pun intended electric girl hehe). There an emotion and a feeling to the lyrics and the way they are sung. I can tell you really wanted to bring Levi to life with this. And you did great. The struggles to make it the way you wanted and the time and effort were well worth it. Great work Levi. Gonna go listen again.
Never really fan a metal/rock songs but this I can put on repeat 🔥🔥 Keep up the amazing work! Great voice btw 🥰
Well holy shit this is awesome. Didn't expect this but it sounds great! Much love from Texas
Wow! Absolutely amazing! When is the album out and where can I get it? 😏🎉 Fantastic song and lyrics, adding more and more depth to our beloved Levi 😍🎶
Mythical, absolutely Mythical! This is a blast of a song! Great Job Levi! :D (That's a lot of "!"s, I'm not screaming at you, I'm just excited I promise lol)
very cool! I could see myself adding this to my music playlist for when I'm driving or gaming/hobbying. :)
can you make it so we can download this song?
Hey Im sorry Im realizing you guys can't actually download the file! Ive never worked with audio files on patreon, my bad. Im fixing this as it was meant to be downloaded.
You’re Fire Levi! Can definitely envision Levi performing this. Hats off once again to your Great Talent always love your work. Keep it up!
No pensé ver una notificación de Patreon y llevarme una sorpresa tan espectacular. Haces que valga mucho seguir aquí. Y disfrutar de tu trabajo por supuesto. Eres increíble y destacas por sobre todos la verdad. Espero no llegue a ser la única y hagas mas, muchas mas, esta muy genial, no se bien si se puede descargar pero si es que se puede quería pedirte permiso para descargarla y tenerla en el móvil. Esta excelente. Disfruta los elogios y Felicidades.
Color me impressed!! 😮 Seriously, I went in expecting something cool but amateurish, but you absolutely blew me away. The quality is way higher than I anticipated—your voice is just beautiful (yeah its edited I know, but still...), the lyrics are spot on, the rythm... Fkin next level. Really proud of you, this is gorgeous! And you should be proud too!!!👍🔥🎶
amateruish?! When do I half ass anything. D:< Even if my voice is/was ass I paid to have the instruments done professionally lol.
Great song Levi! I'm sure no one will complain if you decide to do another in the future.
Love it!!!
I adore. This is my new favorite sound at the moment.
First…. BRAVO!👏 🤩👍👍 Cheers to your dedication and work on this beautifully done project! Secondly, wonderful lyrics! The music and lyrics reminds me of a the old RPG openings for some of the best games of all time. Wild Arms, Thousand arms, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy Tactics, Chrono Trigger, Etc. The it brought back the nostalgia of music and lyrics that tells a story. Now maybe you could make an opening Animation to Match!? 🤩 Thirdly, when you look at familiar artists and their use of Autotune and other sound engineering techniques used in their works, yours isn’t far off. Look at Daftpunk, FatRat, Garth Emery, Darude, Alex Esseker, and similar artists, not saying dedicate your time, but it’s definitely one of the better works I have listened too. You should be PROUD of your voice and your musical creation. 😉 It’s really is amazing to put a voice to your creation and make her come to life. It’s wonderful how an idea can become so inspirational. 😁💕 Enjoy your vacation and soak in the praises! You earned it!
I had always intended to make an animation to accompany this. I will probably just do a moving wallpaper thing because a full animation would take months, but i do want an accompanying visual. And thank you Void. <3
Love it~
>.< thanks everyone I'll stop hiding in a corner eventually.
Success will catch up with you! So enjoy the praises!
Loved the unfinished version, but this official Electric Girl single has the edge =D be proud Levi! just like your comics and your anxiety with releasing them, this is another notch on your post on things you can say "this is a motherfucking W!"
I am still anxious right now as I type this. : D
Hollyyyyy pull❤️😍 this is wayyyyyyyy better than I imagined! You seriously have a talent in art and music!
thank you. >.<
AND YOU WERE AFRAID TO RELEASE THIS?! 😱😱😱 dude this is so good!!! Def going in my playlist!!!!
>.> I was scared of you because you really like Levi and I was like WHAT IF HE HATES A VOICE TO A FACE. D:
Love it!
Thanks Rogelio! : D
This is really good. Especially for a one off thing. Well done. I understand the feeling of yeah this is it, buuuut if you feel like doing more would be cool.
I might. Maybe. Idk. I procrastinated this one so much because I was scared and now its out and im happy but also kinda dead. x.x
Fantastic song for our favorite lightning bug
