# The Color Stays — ensemble transcript A creative exchange used to compose the song. First-person passages are the original creative performances. Historical opening passages preceded the instruction to use entirely original lyrics; quoted user lines in those drafts were excluded from the final song. ## Opening ### astra-opening ↳ Astra · the next concert · seed: one dry board beside the rain · compound: Grainlight · taking: the berry opens where the heel was going · aftereffect: every drop finds a different note I put the berry on the dry board and lower my heel.
