Light Prevails
Light Prevails
Light is beautiful and glorious. It is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible. Darkness is ever-present, but technically does not exist. Because darkness is simply the absence of light. There is no source of darkness in our universe. There is only the presence of light and the absence of light. No matter how hard we try, we cannot get rid of darkness, we can only add light. When you start to think about the concept of light vs darkness from this standpoint, you start to have the making of a beautifully artistic marching band show! Considering designing a visual palette that focuses on striving to create light. Go deeper and consider, maybe the world needs to focus less on eliminating the bad in people and more on bringing out the good in people. If you are looking to reduce cost on copyright licensing, there is an alternate version of this ballad that uses only Lux Aurumque and original music (omitting “Fly To Paradise). Make sure and check out our revamped version of this show called, “Lantern In The Window”.
