end of the line
top of the mountain
end of the climb
but the pressure's still mounting
you've reached the top
you got to where you wanted
you've reached the top
so what's left worth wanting now?
While not a new song, this is the third hour of working on this so it's not too far off. It just fit too perfectly with the theme not to finish working on it here.
Original vocal is from "Bao - 52 Hearts"
Another cycle. Another rotation. We can be thankful that we can share these moments together.
They say you can only see it on the darkest night in the deepest wilderness.

Tried to take one chord progression and make different variations out of it. It's still the same chords, but done in different ways. We have arpeggiated variations, rhythmical variations, as well as simply static notes. I've tried to build it from nothing into this sort of climatic piece, kind of orchestral in nature, but of course using mostly if not all synthesizers. So like a Synth Orchestra if you will. The track is mostly building around this simple 4 chord progression using a dynamic melody full of articulations, different sounds and phrases, and above all just doing what i can to stretch out this chord progression. I also made sure to pick a good progression for this, otherwise it sounds a bit...flat and perhaps repetitive maybe. All in all i really like what i've done here, hope you enjoy!
I worked for an hour and 10 minutes on a bigger song, scrapped it and made this in 5 minutes and it ended up better.
A pastiche of sorts.
Air shifts the mountains to me
Stars call out to me wanting to fly
Bring me to fly
Stars poke a speck out at me
They laugh and taunt me thoroughly
Dumping the sky
Wind stops me slow but there’s no deterrance
Cast way all doubts and whispers into the air
Bring to the end
Let me see the shooting stars
Can I really do it
Will the magic happen
Show me how it ends
Bring my story to a close
Let this stress just go
Send it to the sky to burn away
