Tried to do something energetic and more intense.  I think I need more practice with doing these high energy tunes, I feel like they're a little more difficult for me to hit that consistency.

Been learning about data moshing lately.

I sampled Dex's entry Where did the leaves go? from OHC629, which sampled my entry Light As A Leaf from OHC618, which sampled Dex's entry from OHC605, to make this.

[verse]

Ahead of you, there lies a trial

A bumpy road to face, with it's hills and it's obstacles

Try to process it, it drives you mad, a grueling gauntlet

Half of it incomprehensible

If you go and tell the big almighty, what your plan looks like

The response is bellowing laugh

You need to take that one first step

Into the great unknown, hope for the best

[chorus]

Things look tough. Don't give up

Keep it going 'til you make it through the course

Things look hard. Persevere

Don't you stop until you make it to the goal

[verse]

Got farther than you think you could

Or maybe thought you should, you could still double back if you want

The rest might be a cakewalk here

Or maybe more to fear, only one way to know

[chorus]

[verse]

The funny thing about a challenge, when you're on the other side

It feels like you're still in the trench

Your feeling of accomplishment is blemished by the notion

That you've got something left

Merry Christmas from me! Have a good one!

Ambient stuff, go nuts. You know the drill.

Merry Christmas everyone. This is an unfinished track from my endlessly delayed Christmas album.

It was an avant-garde attempt at a remix of Carol of the Bells but I didn't really get the notes or the sounds quite correct
