WOO I ACTUALLY HAVE STUFF TO SAY ABOUT THIS. I was super excited when I finally thought of the perfect song for Sona because 1) SONA 2) The opportunity to slap copious amounts of reverb on my voice?? Sign me up, I never get that chance.
There are a couple small things in the lyrics I'm dissappointed in but overall I am really proud of this. As always I am sorry for any volume issues because my headphones that I mix with are wonky.
I sprinkled in tons of small references to her lore and trivia which I'll annotate below.
Also thank you to whoever shared my Ode to Support video on Reddit?? Like really. Thank. You. SO. MUCH. Whoever you are, let me hug you.
A note on the song choice: I didn't wanna do a funny thing for Sona. She's an exceptionally beautiful and artistic champion so I wanted to reflect that in her parody song. I wanted to do something pretty and oriental sounding with a lot of poetry to the lyrics. Also, her character and design can be viewed as a reference to Hatsune Miku, so I thought it extremely appropriate to do a Miku song for her.

**NOTE: These are NOT translyrics. They are a parody for a character from the game League of Legends. If you were expecting translyrics I am sorry.
((The first verses are a short retelling of her lore because songs that tell stories are the best.))
When I was a child
I had nobody in this world
I was left alone,
Just a sweet little quiet girl
When I tried to speak
Words I wanted to say were gone
"Someone take me soon
I've been waiting for far too long"
Years went by and still no one came
Then one day everything in my life changed
I was home and I learned to play the chords true and strong
Now I have found where I belong
Find your strength in the music ringing out to set the stage
Fly on wings of celerity, swift and true ((In reference to her E))
Perservere through the battle though you may be wearing thin ((In reference to her W))
Summoner, know that I believe in you ((Sona is a champion many summoners feel a distinct bond with due to her line "Only you can hear me, Summoner," and her constant communication with you specifically.))
I will keep you safe, feel my symphony all around ((In reference to her various auras))
Listen to my hymn and our victory will resound ((In reference to her Q))
From my mind to yours, we will win this before to long
A sublime duet is resonating through my song
We must fight for that in which we believe ((Referring to the conflict between Noxus and Ionia))
As the harmonies interweave
Into one bright crescendo in the dance we call life ((In reference to her ult))
Carving our will to end the strife
And the stars play a melody that echoes through and through ((I wanted to work in her instrument but this is the best I could do. "Etwahl" is pronounced the same as "étoile" meaning "star."))
Can you hear all the songs that Runeterra sings??
We will find our enlightenment inside the serenade ((A call back to Ionia, where she grew up.))
Place your trust in the Maven of the Strings
Find your strength in the music ringing out to set the stage
Fly on wings of celerity, swift and true
Perservere through the battle though you may be wearing thin
Summoner, know that I believe in you
