Running out of time
waiting forever to align
i can't stop this life
part of me e e e
Running wild and free
wanting forever to be me
i can't stop this need
part of me e e e
we were young in love
we knew it all
and if i had to do it all again
i'd say no, no
were too young to know
too dumb to think
and if i had a chance i would say no
run away
Snow = DnB loops woo
Daily struggles are unimportant when the pack has your back.
Went in a different direction from usual with this one
[verse]
When the sun is out, we can run about
Free to roam on the earth in the day
Nature rushes by, no more passerby
Lead the hunt, going off for our prey
Further down we go, through the hot or cold
The luxurious fur keeps us warm
We had formed a pack, speeding front and back
Stronger as a group, more than apartĀ
[chorus]
As sure as a howl, we go off on the prowl
There is power in numbers, the wolfpack is out
[verse]
When the daylight ends, we could still be friends
We return to our shelter and rest
Huddle down at night, til the time is right
Had this way since the day we first met
We can scratch that itch when we're inĀ that ditch
We can climb with our claws all day long
When we reach the top, just a little hop
Cross the river, together we're strong
Have you actually met a wolf? They don't act like dogs at all. They don't pick up on any of the normal human social cues. This is not a creature that is fluffy and friendly. This is a creature that will hunt you in the dark over miles of tundra, and then it will disembowel you and eat you.
Somehow it devolved into a track about wolves on a sleigh rather than angry wolves, oh well lol. I guess i was too much into the snow part of the theme than anything else.
This track is mainly relaxing melodic ideas stacked on top of techno beats and rich basses. Also there is a lot of vibrant chords and melodies, designed in a more free-flowing way. Maybe too happy for the theme, but all in all i really like what i've done here. Hope you enjoy!
First time using a tracker to make a song
alone on the ice and hunted by hungry animals
Recycled some parts from an OHC last year involving wolves and the moon. Felt like using Secret of Mana sound fonts, and clearly I need more practice in this kind of stuff. Best time to do it, eh?
woofs run. they run real good. go woooooffflsllss
There are
Wolves in the snow
Wolves in the ice
Wolves in the know
Wouldn't it nice to be
Wolves in the snow
Wolves in the drift
Wolves that all know
How to be swift in the
Snow
In the snow
In the snow
In the snow
as opposed to snowy owl
