I've now made Song One from FORGOTTEN HOPES a Music Video and New Audio More Accurate to the Script ❤️ Worldcrafter - Song of Infinite Darkness (Song One of FORGOTTEN HOPES: A Song About Society) ✨ Starring The Star (That's Rays Touch The Ends of the Universe) & Grandmother October https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5TVhzOg3nk “Infinite Darkness” opens the journey not with answers… but with a question. "Why?" In the void beyond time, a mysterious cosmic being known only as Star gazes upon humanity with detached curiosity. To something ancient, eternal, and impossibly vast, mortal life appears brief, fragile, and meaningless. We struggle. We suffer. We love. We lose. And from the outside… it can all seem like smoke disappearing into blackness. But then comes Grandmother October. Warm where Star is cold. Human where Star is abstract. A keeper of memory, hearth, survival, and lived wisdom, she becomes the voice that answers the universe’s challenge: Why do we keep going? Infinite Darkness is the philosophical overture to FORGOTTEN HOPES, a musical exploration of modern society, despair, resilience, systems, memory, and what remains of humanity when the lights go out. It asks whether meaning is something given… or something we forge ourselves in defiance of oblivion. Part cosmic opera. Part social meditation. Part theatrical reckoning. When infinite darkness asks humanity to justify itself… this is our first reply. #ForgottenHopes #InfiniteDarkness #Musical #ConceptAlbum #Society #CosmicHorror #Theater #SocialCommentary #Star #GrandmotherOctober #Worldcrafter #broadway #philosophy #hope #depression #lonliness #isolation
