Lyrics:
You're the mountain, that I stand on
when it all comes crashing down
There's a light above the clouds
Far away from anyone
You're my safety, you're my shelter
you're my only quiet place
You rock beneath my feet
my only saving grace
And when I see
what you mean to me
there's no one else I'll be
YOU AND ME
YOU AND ME
YOU AND ME
YOU AND ME
The winds sing their soothing tune of tranquility as they envelope you in one long-held sigh.
The theme is clearly a setting in daytime, but a music box is nocturnal no matter how hard I try to make it otherwise. A second song using mostly just music box, but now with a soft base and obscene amounts of reverb.
Take up and watch the light
Nothing else to realize
I’m here, I go alone
Stare out through brilliant eyes
Take the step there’s no surprise
I will
I will survive
Oooooo
Wait for me
I’m searching for
Ooooo
Dream for me
I’m on my way home
Lovely. At the very last minute my headphones decide to die on me, leaving me to do the last finishing touches in silence. I use Bluetooth Headphones and i must have forgotten to charge them. Oh how stupid can i be....
This track was initially meant to be epic and grand, but i wasn't finding the right chord progression for it, so i slowly changed gears until i was satisfied with my idea. Because of how calming it was, the only logical step was for me to introduce bass and beats. Since i had a looped bassline though, i had the wild idea to make Acid with it, and so throughout is a 303 playing the bassline. The whole thing goes through more or less 2 sections, each slightly different than the last, whilst still retaining all of the same melody ideas. It's what i was thinking at the time, especially for a 1hr 30 time crunch. All in all, i really like this. It's kind of different. Hope you enjoy!
Psy sorta sky
heHE
Eh, I don't really like how this one came out. Oh well!
You've heard stories of that mountain. How impossible its height, how beautiful its peak. Your plan is flawless: ride the winds from afar, and reach the top in one piece.
The key is to reach the tippy top.
