Yearning. The pain when you long for something and yet can't get it. When periods of depression and self-immersion are interrupted by outbursts of hearfelt desire and longing, only to collapse into themselves again. And yet, excruciating as this bittersweet state of mind is, the heart nevertheless seems to also derive pleasure from it.

Compositionwise: 
The track is of the form Intro (@0:00) - Main1 (@0:33) - Main2 (@1:29) - Diversion (@2:19) - Main3(@2:53) - Outro (@3:17)
Overall, the track lives from its sequence of low-energy parts and muffled outbursts. Over time, the track increases in intensity, in two ways: First, its speed increases from the Intro in the Mid 60s to the Low 70s lateron. Moreoever, the melodical intensity of the variations gets increasingly dense (see below) 

The track starts with a low-paced introspect Intro where the left melody line goes up and the right hand down. This contraction in the used space of tones resembles the seclusion of the proponent of our story. The desparation is underlined by sudden crescendos and abrupt falling back into pian(issim)o. This effect is held up throughout the remainder of the track. The left hand in the Intro follows a low-paced half note beat. The right hand first introduces the lead theme that is later varied in the parts (M, M', M'') but then modulates in a unique way that is not repeated throughout the track again.
@ 0:33, the Intro is over and the first of the main parts, Main1, starts. The left hand increases its intensity from here on throughout the track by switching to quarters instead of halfs. The lead theme is modulated with more energy (and will be ever more intense in the later variations of Main). After that, the track goes @0:57 into a series of outbursts and resignations. This series is repeated in Main2 @1:57 in more intensity and a chord inversion higher.
The Diversion is characterised by chord inversions that gently fall down, just like rain that pours down that window that our protagonist stares through. And then reaches the biggest outburst of the whole track.
Finally, after Main3, which includes the most intense version of the lead theme and harmonically altered variation, the piece finishes with a questioning yet pieceful end.

In mastering the piece, after MIDI editing, one of the challenges was to find the right balance between the plaintive metallic overtone-rich outbursts versus a rich and full sound for the resignative parts. I chose the Pianoteq Warm Peterov Mistral (with some minor tweaks) as the piano. On this, I used three basic Cubase-inate effects: (1) some light-touch EQ (a scaled-downversion of Basic Piano), (2) compression (Ratio of 1.8) and (3) Reverb (the Cubase-equivalent of the Goldener Musikvereinssaal in Vienna of course :-)). The mix has been balanced at -1db to allow enough headroom for the streaming services' normalization magic to happen ;-).

"Beyond Kashmir"

(Verse1)
Count me in ——count me out
but make account without a doubt
direct and indirect traps, been set
except what’s next ——-
what’s next ——-underground the reset
But still the best ——still the best, 
jazz it up a bit ——slow it down a bit 
loop it—— loop it———

Shit’s better than the game!

(Chorus)
Quick review ——
You didn’t like it well…
Still questioning who,  rules hell
Tell me something, I don’t know
Oh —-so your bottom line, did swell
judgment withheld——judgment withheld—-(with hell)


News anchor’s announcement:

what’s the selling point
Most watch, most advertise performance -In a halftime show,
——-there you go
There you go—-follow the money trail
What the Timeline shows —-
Is the most watched——- of all time —-halftime show
And it’s moving up on the charts
more details—-more details to follow

the revolution will be televised!

(Bridge)
next move like water —-just the facts —-fun facts 
-why would they do that? 
-why would they do that? 
Another funky groove—— 
in the mix ——input outlet easy to forget 
when you lose———-regret
another jolt to the memory —-Just so you don’t forget
the revolution will be televised!

(Verse1)

Judgement withheld……
Now!
the revolution will be televised!

(Chorus)

Halftime in overtime ——-game on. 
Let’s go straight into this rhyme—-
certified like milk and cookies ———chill on 
I know every verse and —-every line 
Slow it down a bit ——-speed it up a bit
loop it —loop it—-

Shit’s better than the game!

the revolution will be televised!
