waiting

aching

staying in place

stranded on my island in space

searching

lurching

around this place

all alone on my island in space

and the moon projects its face on the tide

as it pulls toward everything i left behind

and i wonder if you're missing me

back home

but i know the world keeps turning

though i'm gone

weeping

retreating

i cannot face

why i went to this island in space

i'm leaving

i'm keeping

you all away

as i hide on my island in space  

and the moon projects its face on the tide

as it pulls toward everything i left behind

and i wonder if you're missing me

back home

but i know the world keeps turning

though i'm gone

"I've never seen the view from this far up. It's magnificent beyond my wildest dreams"

This track can be a bit...loopy heavy towards the end, but that's because i ran out of time, so repetition legitimises lol. It's best described as a very chill number with a 3/4 breakbeat signature, a long dynamic melody, and then towards the middle some more chords, more arps, and a whole host of sounds to make you feel relaxed and in a good mood. Maybe epic sounding as well, but that's because i wanted this track to just keep on adding to the same progression, which i believe spans about 32 bars. It's not the most technical, however i do love that progression a lot, it's definately super uplifting and pretty. The breaks aren't there to be obtrusive, so hopefully it grooves hard, without it being too much. All in all i hope you like it, it's a decent piece if i do say so myself. Enjoy!

You can be happy with you have, but you can long for what is missing.

Reflecting on the state of the universe isn't a good idea for someone who regularly deliberates for 15+ minutes on the simple decision of what to eat for dinner after work.

As I move across the space of stars

Stories told of days long past

Of what’s left of our ancestral home

That single tree among the rock

Cling to that fateful living thing

Space and darkness shield my home

It’s not just a symbol of our past

It’s a reminder of mistakes we’ve made

This is the tree that saw it all

Watched us dwindle down to nothingless

This is the tree that judged us all

We desperately cling to what’s left

This is the tree that saw it all

This is the tree that judged us all

This is the tree that saw it all

This tree is our burden
