Inspiration comes from everywhere, but some things hold a more powerful influence over me. This song took endless amounts of inspiration from Baasik and Black Gryph0n's "Another End". The original song is about the endless possiblities you can have if you spend it with the right people and how whatever of the many paths you choose is the right one if you do it together. This one is almost a precursor to that notion, being about having to either earn the right to walk those paths or to fight your way to them, through good and bad times, and never leaving your dreams behind for a second. Lyrics: When I first found the light, It was too bright to see The gates locked, I was left outside Out on my own, no one but me Now the game has changed I'm taking up the lead I'm looking forward, not breaking stride My body's calm, my mind is at ease To my right, my only hope On my left, my last shattered dream I'm told to leave it behind me Though it's not as dead as it seems Storming the front, you can't give up ground Burning put is a fatal flaw I've worked too hard to give up now I've played the game, now I make the law Losing my mind from trials ahead Given gifts envied and feared The apex is light-years away The writing on the wall has become clear I've seen them before What they want is in their sight It doesn't matter who you are 'Cause in the end you'll have to fight I've come this far not breaking down But now I realize To ignore the past is a mistake I'll take it and I'll learn to rise The ones without the will They get left behind The choice isn't yours to make It's just the way it was designed Cut the lifelines connected to you Jump off the top and let it begin In danger lies the safe way out The secrets to your life lie within What you see often tells you lies The memories burn like paper skies I won't be stopped by a low remark The fire behind is from my own spark We've come this far not breaking down But now you realize To ignore out past is a mistake Take it along- (Full lyrics on Youtube) :/

mommies home made cake
@diver What kind of cake?
I like cake
@xplin329 Yes and no. I re-did the vocals in the beginning, which are absolute trash. At , my friend Dylan takes over for the rest of the track. This is his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/BeatleBrekke
cool... is that you singing?
Yes those are in fact the lyrics to the track taken from the description. VVVV
I won't be stopped by a low remark The fire behind is from my own spark We've come this far not breaking down But now you realize To ignore out past is a mistake Take it along- (Full lyrics on Youtube) :/
My god i still love this
I find it impossible for me to make a synth like that from the intro.
Love both version!
Beautiful!
Hi, i listened to Rise, and fiddled a bit with an attempt of a remix. I felt that everything in the whole track was "too high up", tried to ground it slightly with a base beat, little saxophone chord, and full out on mid register. (if you are not satisified with my remix attempt I can delete it, if you want me to)
I adjusted the vocals in the first verse, did I make it any better or nah?
I'm gonna fix the first verse of the vocals, because that seems to be the part that puts people off the most, and see how that goes. Give me a few hours at the most.
i think you did amazing!
love it
holy shit this is good
I enjoyed the music but the vocals need to be worked on. Great lyrics! Nice one. :-)
Everything is great except vocals. They aren't trash but they aren't the best in terms of hearing sounds directly through your ears. Honestly though great track !
Also, another note on the vocals: This was our first time through- Zero rehearsals, no musical notation, just improvisation. If enough people complain, I can have these redone, probably with a bit more polish.
