About This Song
The mood is subdued. A laid-back atmosphere in which a country reflects on how their powerful southern neighbor has become unstable and dangerous to all. The self-harm the neighbor is inflicting upon itself is unsettling to watch.

We were good friends, good allies.
But you have changed.
We must adapt to the new reality.
We wish you well,
For tomorrow we will still be here, beside you.
Original Lyrics
The lyrics are still evolving. This was the first version:
We were good friends, good allies.
But you have changed.
We must adapt to the new reality.
We wish you well,
For tomorrow we will still be here, beside you.
The most adaptable are the ones that flourish.
This is a time of change.
This is our time.
Now we realize the importance of having many connections to the world,
and no longer rely on the easy, cheapest and most comfortable option.
We grow, we make new connections, new friends, new partners.
Our ancestors still remind us how.
Tomorrow we will still be here, beside you.

Stems
Stems are helpful for musicians who need to learn how to play a song. After downloading audio stems, they can play each stem as a separate track, and adjust the volume of each track according to their requirements. For example, a musician might choose to hear just the stem initially for the instrument they play. Once they have learned their part, they might play all the other stems at normal volume but mute the track they had listened to, so they can practice their part while playing along. Wikipedia has additional information.
Audacity is a popular, free, open-source program that can play stems. It allows you to decide which stems to play, and you can adjust their relative volumes.
