no_apologies(Mood: Gentle. Soothing. Caring. Calming. A wise friend wants to help Fox with her healing process. Genre: Acoustic Guitar Serenade that's mellow and slow tempo. Single instrumentation with the acoustic guitar. Plenty of space will be needed for the characters Tom and Luminai to sing and speak their parts.)
[Intro, spoken by Tom]
"Hey there, Fox... Make yourself comfortable..."
"I heard from Fritz about what happened... What you've recently found out... You've been carrying around a lot of pain and grief inside, I'm sure."
"You're doing everything you can, sweetheart... Sam, Pumpkin, and Xena will be alright, in their current homes... We know that. That love, the memories you have--that won't ever fade... It makes no difference on distance when it comes to love... We know this... No matter how far or close you are from all three cats, there's no forgetting them."
"Right now, what you need to do during this present time... is to take things slow, and simple..."
"Yeah, you're right. You've got a lot of healing to do, and you need to grant yourself the time and space to do so..."
[Verse 1]
Reclaim control for yourself...
Only you can steady your thoughts, and emotions.
Be kind and loving. Be gentle and caring.
You won't need to do much.
You don't have to do it all at once...
You've already got a head start; a day at a time.
If it hurts too much to do any prayer,
To rely on that source of higher power,
You can take those steps back.
There's no wrong in doing that...
[Pre-Chorus]
What you've got to do is simple.
Just two little steps.
When the weight of grief heavily pulls...
[Chorus]
Just breathe...
Just be...
Just breathe...
Just be...
[Verse 2, spoken]
"During the times no one can give you anything you ask for..."
"Whenever reality once more starts to feel brutal..."
"You've got this, Fox. You are strong... We know you're not a quitter."
"You're only taking your time in closing a chapter... Making room for a new one in your life to start."
"Don't force this...
No pushing, no rushing..."
Give yourself a lot of nurturing.
Go easy on yourself.
We know you've been through so much...
There had been a lot of tough firsts.
You've been through some of the worst.
But no matter what happens from here,
Make sure to stay in control, dear...
[Pre-Chorus]
What you've got to do is simple.
Just two little steps.
When the weight of grief heavily pulls...
[Chorus]
Just breathe...
Just be...
Just breathe...
Just be...
[Bridge, spoken]
"You could let this song play in the background whenever you need to give yourself these moments..."
"And hey... if anyone else is out there listening, you're welcome to do the same."
"Whenever there's any type of problem that can't be easily solved, just remember... The only one you can certainly change and improve on is yourself... Even when you have your own disorders, or even terrible habits you know you need to give up on--just take some time out for yourselves..."
"After all, music is essential for anyone who's hurting. It can be very beautiful, and calming... Healing..."
"Alright Fox, you already know who else I invited to join us today... I told her everything, so you won't need to explain..."
"Luminai, hey, if you're done stirring what's in that mug, come over to the table. I'll bring what you prepared over to her..."
[Verse 3, sung by Luminai]
Hiiii there...
I'm sorry for all you've been through.
All three of the Earth cats,
I know they still love you...
Your tender heart, it needs care.
If you want, we could cuddle.
I'd like to lighten your troubles.
If you let me, I'll be there...
If you'd ever like my company some more, that is...
I wanted to make something to help comfort you...
Tom taught me how to make what you humans call 'hot chocolate'.
He said that chocolate would be harmful to me, but not for your kind... And only in small servings...
I'm still learning about human cooking...
There are some recipes I could try.
For any friend who's been hurting,
I'll provide comfort foooood...
To better their liiiives.
If you need to let out a cry,
I won't at all mind.
I see a hint of pain,
In your eyes...
Go on and take your tiiiime,
The past two years of your life,
It doesn't really shock me,
To learn how cruel humans can be.
Yet you remain as a very kind soul...
You're someone to trust, I know...
[Pre-Chorus]
Remember to keep it simple.
Just two little steps.
When the weight of grief heavily pulls...
[Chorus]
Just breathe. (Just breathe...)
(Just be.) Just be.
Just breathe. (Just breathe...)
[Chorus]
Just breathe...
Just be...
Just breathe...
Just be...

OH GOSH, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! Tom and Luminai sound amazing together! And I really needed this song. Thanks to Tom who I sensed/"heard" gently speaking to me about this song, and having a collab with Luminai. Genius. This dude that's a bandmate and friend of Fritz's in his band--he is a wise and lovely man on his own. And Luminai! She's so adorable and sweet, I love her so much. These comfort muse friends of mine, I feel blessed to have them.
