My Only Song
by Gu, the Silent Boulder
English Version
our lives are longand deep my thoughts
about what comes
after i go
but worry not
since we are young
and our lives
are still not gone
this is myself
a magmer boy
i hope you like me
and we are two

Gu is a very analytical person - even more than the standard magmer. As such, his main interest is Philosophy and Exploration; since his wish to become an explorer after school. This song was written by him for the flirt fest, where he plans to present it to a bunch of magmer girls, to find someone who he is compatible with. There are already one or two favorites in his class...
The Flirt Fest is a ritual in Kot, where all magmer who are single have to present their art. The art is then compared to that of magmer from the other sex, to see if anyone thinks similarly.
The magmer have a very deep voice, which can produce some vastly different sounds to our human voice. The given audio representation is, for that reason, only a pretty amateur-like imitation of the magmer language.
Out of curiousity, does this song have more than a basic rhythmic beat to it when played by an actual Magmer? I'm not quite sure what to make of this article, but it's good work nonetheless.
An actual magmer only uses his belly as a drum as the only instrument besides his voice, although yes, a "life freestyle" version would probably have more rhythmic diversity.
