Song 8: 'The Night Belongs to Me'
I have been chewing my nails off over this one for like 3 weeks. Audio engineer and instrument peeps spent a lot of time on it. X.X
I have one more coming before the end of the year, maybe. I wanted to go back to what I did for ' Too Bright to Touch'. It had a very garage band feel haha. And I think somewhere along the way I was letting stuff get overproduced and putting my hand too much into the instrumental and engineering part of the process.
I trust my people, both my friends that help on instruments and the audio engineer I hire to produce the music I make. And I want to stress that; Without the help I get doing this stuff it wouldn't be possible. I mean sure, I pay audio engineer, but no one is making him answer my rants and rambles at 2am when I'm spinning the fuck out about a segment. xP
Boring part here, because I want to talk about the song itself. Skip the brackets if you wanna haha.
( All lyrics are written by me, and all vocals are performed by me ,Sarah N., AKA Levi’s Creations.
I use AI-generated instrumentals early in the creative process to explore rhythm and direction. We then build a rough backing track using virtual instruments for me to sing over. My friends in the band perform the instrumental parts, and a paid audio engineer brings those performances together with my vocals, mixing and mastering the finished song.

Thank you for supporting the music we make, my loves. <3 )
For the last two songs of the year, I wanted to get out of my own head and let Levi tell her story.
This was supposed to be finished for the Levi comic (LOL). Obviously, that did not happen.
Levi, much like her creator, loves harsh music with melodic transitions. And I could spend another paragraph explaining where I end and she begins, but honestly? I’d rather you just listen. :)
I have a Halloween special pack coming this weekend! For now, here are the lyrics.
(This has already been uploaded to Spotify! along with Solo Una Chica Mas)
Grab your headphones and blow your fucking ears off. <3
THE NIGHT BELONGS TO ME
They named me for the deep
Something cold, something old
I thought the dark would break me
Instead it made me whole
I didn't reach for light
I let it come to me
Everything you think you see
Is just the beginning of what I'll be
The night belongs to me
Not somewhere I go to hide
The night belongs to me
The part they couldn't touch when they tried
I'm not the glow you chased across the skyline
I'm what the glow was running from
The night belongs to me
You think I'm a myth, untamed voltage
The bright face in the storm
You named a version of me
I'd already outgrown
I shed the light in deep water
Where nothing follows
What came back up
Wasn't what went down
The night belongs to me
Not somewhere I go to hide
The night belongs to me
The part they couldn't touch when they tried
I'm not the glow you chased across the skyline
I'm what the glow was running from
The night belongs to me
It always has
Every name is a cage
Every deed is a weight
I am not what you think
I am what remained
I AM THE DEEP
I AM THE CASCADE
I AM WHAT REMAINED
THE NIGHT BELONGS TO ME
NOT SOMEWHERE I GO TO HIDE
The night belongs to me
I stopped fighting the cold
I'm not the glow you chased across the skyline
I'm what the skyline learned to fear
The night belongs to me
Come home
This is a brand new world
I see, I finally see
I'm not living blind anymore
I know what lives in me
Mine
I had to reach, to grasp her pale face
I hid it away, and chased it away
Just know what you've done
THE NIGHT IS MINE!
(I had to reach, to grasp her pale face
I hid it away, to face a new day)
THE NIGHT IS MINE!
(I had to reach, to grasp her pale face
I hid it away, to face a new day)
THE NIGHT IS MINE!
(I had to reach, to grasp her pale face
I hid it away, to face a new day)
THE NIGHT IS MINE!
(I had to reach, to grasp her pale face
I hid it away, to face a new day)
The night is mine!
The night is mine!
The night is me

Another banger! Love the voice!!
Awesome song! Your music is going to reach so many ears and be loved by many I'm sure. Keep rockin'!
Levi, you are incredible! I even pulled out the good headphones for this! X) You’re also a masterclass in DOING THINGS for the sake of doing them, and putting your entire passion into it, and it SHOWS. I love that! 👏👏👏👏
Damn, maybe my top song by you so far. It's a tie right now but I won't disclose that list. Amazing work as always. I love the transitions between the harsher vocals, the clean ones, and the softer vocals. It's fucking sick! I don't know if that's your audio engineer or just your skill, but regardless, this one I think pushed open new expections. Good luck! Proud to be a listener!
Love it, even risked listening to it loud at 5am lol.
Why so mean to skylines? Seriously though, good song!
For such a beautiful creature, she sounds like such a tortured and tormented soul. Makes it tug on your heart strings. Such as life. Absolutely Love it! It would be great to see how you would make this into a music video! The visuals would just add to the suspense with this vocals! Another wonderful performance from our wonderful Muse! Bravo!
Dayum you never disappoint and Im just enjoying the ride as you slay with these amazing songs! 🤘🏽
Good song good job probs😎👍
ALREADY ON SPOTIFY?! LET'S GOOO! ..... as I was writing this, I was getting my spotify up, turns out I can't find them. Do you have a direct link or something? :( Anyways amazing song, really great one
Its showing on my end! Maybe its a regional roll out but I promise you its uploaded and should just be minutes if you cant see it. And im glad you like it. :)
Fucking awesome Levi! 🤘🤘🤘
Woohoo, back to a harder metal arrangement. Love it 🤘. Your vocals was top notch from the metal growls to the melodic singing and musical arrangements were great again, big fan of your lead guitarist, love the lyrics and the story you are telling. Can't wait for more 🫶❤️
Damn this is awesome. Well done. Very hype. Very fire. Much wow.
You're going from strength to strength with your songs. Solo Una Chica Mas was great fun, but I'd rank this one up with Too Bright to Touch (Remake) and Now You See Me, Now You Don't. I really love your clean vocals, but I get the choice for this particular song to play them down a little. Nightwish and Burning Witches are both in need of new vocalists, if you keep this up better send your resume lol
I think every female metal singer in existence does a tour of duty in Nightwish at this point lmao
Best! Fucking! Song! Yet!!!!! Fuckin ell those goddamn growls!!!!
Hell ya
