This was the version of Stay Daring I made for my first ever "DoTheDaringDew" EP back in mid 2018. The actual production of the five songs on the EP took about a year before it was actually released, but these are the five I was very eager to revisit!
I'm also pretty proud of this version of Stay Daring as it was my chance to rewrite the song and smooth out some things in the songwriting process I felt were really clunky last time. I personally feel like this flows a lot better than the 2015 version.
lyrics
I've been getting my hooves dirty long enough
To know how to play the game
Such adventure never stays the same
Risking life and limb daily
You could say that danger is my middle name
It never gets old
Braving the freezing cold
But none of this is anything new
'Cause I was always taught to stay daring
And that's just what I'm gonna do
Another day, another dungeon
No relic is safe, no stone unturned
Every trick of the trade has been learned by me
I'm the best of the best
I don't run away, I plunge in
Count all the treasures earned by me
Not a thing makes me retreat
Not even the unrelenting heat
The sands have been stained with my blood
My wings' feathers buried
In the highest mountain's snow
My hoofprints planted in the jungle's mud
No challenge is too great for me, I'm just too good
There's nowhere I won't go
Any priceless artifact, you name it
And you can damn well bet your flank I'll claim it
But none of that is anything new
'Cause I was always taught to stay daring
Stay Daring
And that's just what I'm gonna do
