This is the first of three songs which should have been released months ago. I started writing it procedurally, as one of my first attempts at a pop song (complete with chorus!), without much thought to the themes or lyrics (which I had not yet written). The general structure is heavily influenced by Duran Duran's night mix of Girls on Film, as is the instrument selection, which I think ultimately complement the lyrical themes quite well. Once I had written the intro I began to compose the rest with the general lyrical themes in mind.

I'm rather content with how it came out given my absolute inexperience with production up to this point. Though a great portion of the technical work was done by my cousin, Denilson Ardon. This is also the cause of the massive delay since it was not only the first time I've produced a major project, but also because sending the project back and forth with my cousin turns out to be a rather inefficient way of getting things done. lol. It should also be noted that he contributed many of the drum fills and ideas which I ultimately revised.

The video was done in a day with stock effects from OpenShot, so it's not quite as good as I'd like it to be, but alas, it's basically filler.

This may be the last song I release in the following few months since I'll be busy with setting up a business, school, and making preparations to move out. But who knows-- I'll definitely try to release a proper rendition of Little Piece in G Major, if possible.

At any rate, thank you for listening!

If you'd like the score and project files they are at the following link, though they are in quite a jumbled state. I have chosen to no longer upload the score to Musescore directly because of their charge to download: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lY5DXfj5KOfFW1JKzNW-Un-5MPTztj-7?usp=sharing
