Story behind the song
This one is probably the song I spent the most time to date working on. It was an off and on thing which seems to work well. I basically work on it a little until I get to the point of being somewhat stumped. Then I stop and work on it another day. I think the hardest part was getting a good melody going. I thought of the first part of the melody first. It sounded OK, but it needed something. So a few days later, I think of adding variations to the melody and added new loops to try ang change things up in the song. I think the best thing was dropping the first note down a few keys. I then modified the ending a couple of times and ended up having a melody with loops that sort of feed in to each other. It sounded good, but it also sounded short. About a week later, I think of splitting off the end of the longer notes and having the split down a few keys. It sounded great, so while I was feeling rather inspirational, I made a few more versions of the end of the loops and had one that sounded particularly brilliant. So on the second chorus, I doubled up on it. I used a number of filtered WaspXT instruments. I got it sounding great, but I thought I could make it better, so I fiddled with the volume using the LFO and figured that if I got it flickering between two folume levels, I would give it that slight 'rough' sound which, IMO, made it sound better. This track is also meant to be remixed and I hope to make a remix of this song in the not-to-distant future. If you feel like remixing it... by all means. It's partly why the CC license is there for! :)
