Awakening

Wow this song has to be some of the most emotion I’ve put into anything without any lyrics or me singing. This song says it all without saying a word. I made this song and finished it on Christmas day and I don’t know what it was but I felt so optimistic and inspired and just had started creating off of that feeling. After creating off of that feeling I created the chords in the second half which has to be some of the most beautiful writing i’ve had to date and built the song around that. I watch sooooo much anime and I had recently gotten into my hero academia before I wrote this song and so after the chord structure was created it reminded me so much of one of those scenes where the protagonist unlocks a power that slumbered in them in a last effort to defeat the antagonist and I wanted the whole song to build up to that feeling of heroism and awakening that power within. Making this song I definitely tapped into a part of my creativity and expression I never have before and this song is just a representation of the idealism of a character awakening but also an awakening within me at that time.
