Song in question: "Home To You" by Sigrid
So this is a solo song that goes against my normal voice matching for Music Time as it features Zila singing at a beautiful light, lilting Soprano.
I came across this song for the first time shortly after finishing Aurora Burning, and the lyrics were really moving in a way that I think we've heard from Zila, especially in AB when she's started to open up a little. This gave me the same message as her repeating phrase: "I am not feeling nothing."
In this premise: During a squad Music Time/Hangout, Zila - who had been even quieter than normal thus far - pipes up to say,
"If I may, I've been working on a small project which I would like to present now. Please be advised that I find great difficulty singing in public, so I will be almost exclusively looking at the lyrics written on my uniglass and will avoid eye contact."
Everyone quiets down to watch, and Zila begins playing some pre-recorded digital piano accompaniment through the ship's speakers.
She starts softly, a bit timidly, but closes her eyes and starts to lose herself in the song, displaying a powerful and agile voice that is able to sing quick, lilting, and impactful high notes without compromising tone.
At the very last chorus, she works up the courage to open her eyes and look at her squadmates around her. I recommend getting the lyrics up for yourselves to understand the song better, but the impactful moments are thus:
-"And I see the world so different now" -speaks for itself :p
-"There's a room I need to sit in, surrounded by my favourite view" -when her eyes are open, she looks at the control room where they're all sitting, and around at all of her squad to represent her favourite view
-"When I need a hand to hold" -Scar immediately grabs her hand because of course she does <3
-"Someone to tell the truth" -She looks to her Alpha, Tyler, with a smile
-"Would it be okay if I came home to you?" -directed to the entire squad, basically asking if they would be okay to be her family now, and for this to be her home.
I imagine immediately after the song is over Zila is just covered in hugs and positive affirmations because she is sO PRECIOUS AND WE ALL LOVE HER.
