LYRICS:
---------------------
I think I found a solution
Cause I can see right through your illusion
No one knows, how everything inside you froze
You're so cold, reaching from below

to pull everyone else down with you
Some of us can't resist you
But your strategies play against you
and as for your self-destructive world...

It will be torn apart by your dark heart
Torn apart by your dark heart

Burning out, fade to black
Feel the walls start to crack
Fading out, burning black
Feel your world start to crack
You're fading out and burning black
See your world break in half
You've gone too far to take it back
and when your world starts to crack...

It will be torn apart by your dark heart
Torn apart by your dark heart

I've been trying to work on my general mixing - particularly by looking for ways to improve my drum presets.  I've spent a lot of time with Superior Drummer over the last few days though and I think I've figured some stuff out!  My kick and snare drums should definitely be a bit punchier from now on.  This clip is just a simple riff that I've had laying around for a while, maybe I'll turn this into a real song at some point.

-------------------------------------------------------------
I think Debussy's "Arabesque No.1" might be the most amazing piece of music ever written. I instantly fell in love with the vibrant chord progressions and soaring melodies upon hearing it for the first time, and it has stuck with me over the years in a way that pretty much nothing else has. 

About 3 years ago, I had the idea of learning some of the piano parts on guitar, which led to slowly transcribing the entire piece over time, which led to recording a full prog-rock style arrangement. Despite the extreme differences between the original piano rendition and my own, the guitar lines have been meticulously reproduced from the original sheet music with every single note accounted for. 

I'm not sure whether Debussy himself would enjoy or hate my rendition, but it's with the utmost respect and admiration that I release this tribute to his legacy. I hope you all enjoy it.
