It&#8217;s not meant to be a standalone song, it exists to put a little punctuation at the end of Act 1&#8217;s shenanigans. For those who are purchasing the other songs in the Act (B.L.E.S.S. Y.O.U.), i can&#8217;t in good conscience charge you for this, but i want you to be able to have a complete Act. It also makes the total for the entire Act into an easy $5, which seems a nice, friendly number (and is about what you pay for a fancy cup of coffee, A CUP OF COFFEE, only in this case you will be supporting the show and FEEDING hard working artists.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/steampunkopera.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/10\/kayleigh4.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1837\" title=\"Kayleigh McKnight\" src=\"http:\/\/steampunkopera.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/10\/kayleigh4.jpg?resize=581%2C387\" alt=\"\" width=\"581\" height=\"387\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, tomorrow, we shall be taking a one day break from posting new material.

However, 5 more songs were recorded for a second demo, which i shall present over this next fun filled week. This 2nd demo however will not actually include all 5 tracks. In fact, out of ALL the 10 total tracks, only 5 will be selected. (For instance there are 3 ballads that build. In a 27 song show that&#8217;s a perfectly fine number, but for our purposes it&#8217;s ridiculous. I just wanted the choice. We&#8217;ll get to the voting bit later.)<\/p>\n<p>See you tomorrow for a 1st Act recap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And so, with the help of the dream weaving voice of the sultry Kayleigh McKnight we come to the end of the 1st Act: [bandcamp track=3356522304 bgcol=4e1818 linkcol=f7da82 size=venti] A few things: This track is free to download.
