how to title
I just liked the accents here. Needs a melody to come later I guess
In the vast canyons you can't depend purely on luck. While these edges may look deceptively easy, rest assured it will take all of your strength to conquer them.
This came out quite different from what I set out to do. And much more squashed, since I butchered volume on the instruments, I think. But there's a few things I rather like in.
is this targeted at someone? hmmm. idk.
paint me in a corner, baby, paint me down the hall
paint me in a circle, babe, i’ll catch ya when ya fall
there ain’t no time for secrets, t-shirts drippin’ black and red
only time will tell if we’re compatible
they say, you’ll lose your mind
brushin’ with commotion you cannot fight
they say, you’re out of time
paintin’ with emotions, outside the lines
outside the lines
I'm stuck in my car in this 120F desert and I am out of water and the lock won't budge.

"Overlooking the world from this lofty peak, I turn to contemplation... How do I get down?!"
Tell me the know
How hard it is
The desert show
Wanna know how tough it is
This desert wants to know
What are gonna bring to me
The desert wants to know
Just how much you can show
This track is kind of an epic piece, complete with thick layers of pads and choirs, a dynamic lead melody as well as 4 layers of bell arps. It goes through quite a lot of chords, before it goes back to the main melody. I didn't have time for any new chordal material, so i just kept the main chord progression but decided to add a beat, turning it into more of a triplet thing, whilst going through the familiar sections. The ending was kind of shoehorned in, but i had like 5 minutes left before i had to export, so i just did something quickly, hence why it might be a bit...simple. Mostly samples and the beat from earlier. All in all, i hope you enjoy!
