To You, A Hundred Years From Now
A melancholic pop ballad with a slow tempo and a minor key. The instrumentation features a prominent piano, a subtle string section, and a soft drum beat. The female lead vocal is clear and emotive, with a gentle vibrato. The song structure includes verses and a chorus, with a bridge that introduces a slight dynamic shift. The production emphasizes a spacious and ethereal sound, with reverb on the vocals and instruments. The chord progression is primarily diatonic, creating a sense of longing and introspection. The melody is lyrical and memorable, with a relatively narrow vocal range.

Lyrics
In sights I’ve never seen,
Voices I’ve never heard,
Why does my heart burn so deep?
Unknown tears fall like a stream.
Invisible memories squeeze my chest,
Voices without words, they echo best.
We will fade and vanish someday,
Fragile flames will die away.
But you will carry the future on,
Silently weaving what’s never gone.
Aaaahhh— don’t cry now— (Ooooohhh—)
The end is just a start— (I’ll stay right here—)
Aaaahhh— after the tears— (Ooooohhh—)
Light will break
(With love that
never parts—)
When
I close my eyes, I feel your heart
Something more real than memories lives here, unbreakable
A hundred years from now, I’ll have faded away
But the feeling of “I loved you”
Is what keeps me alive — right now
(Every ending is a beginning)
I’m the one who dreamed of the future, and you’re the one who carries it on
(A shining light beyond the dawn — it’s you)
Even if we disappear, our voices will go on
(Whispering like a code, like a never-ending song)
When I close my eyes, I still feel your heart—
and tears begin to fall.
You are me... and I am (you

Afterword
Whether this “you” belongs to the present or the past,
and whether this story points to the future or looks back on history,
that interpretation is left to you.
This story is not about then or later, but about what is happening now.
